Are you using imagemapplugin from Jon, or Eric's version, or something else? I've been trying for a long time to combine the TW functionality with visualization solutions, the way you're trying to do with an image map. See http://www.mobilelibrary.nl and http://www.doordouwe.nl for an example of how i used a combination of Jon's old version of tagmindmap together with Erics MoveablePanelplugin. (be careful: don't copy those plugins from my sites, I adapted the original code!) I never found a solution for opening the tiddlers on top of the canvas element that is created by the tagmindmapplugin. They always revert to the standard offset in the display area. Jon did at some point introduce his VismoWiki and put an example online where the tiddler opens as a popup when clicking one of the nodes in the tagmindmap. (I can't find it anymore, btw). It was very beautiful, but I never got around to using that, mainly because it was still very buggy and I imagine Jon had other things on his mind... So, when working with canvas, i don't know how you could change the place where tiddlers open up. Maybe Jon can help you. When working with only "native" TWelements, I tried to adjust the z-index of the div/tiddler I wanted to stay in the background but it's somehow programmed in that an active tiddler (ie the one you click on) is brought to front. I tried with TiddlyDesktop and MoveablePanel both: if you put an image in a big tiddler, place it on the desktop, put the z-index to -1, place another tiddler on top of it, then click the image tiddler, it will obscure the one behind it because clicking it apparently undoes the z-index thing. Cecily does this too. (This whole thing is also one of the reasons I asked how i could change the background of Cecily/Preso...) I don't know if in a 'normal'TW you couldn't add an extra div to the template, place a tiddler there, give that div a low z-index or position it in such a way with css so that the rest of the display area renders on top of it. Give it a try...
Something else I tried, but don't like the extra clicking and the obscuring of content involved, is the TiddlyLightBoxplugin. The good thing of the plugin is that you can render *active* (clickable links) *whole* (including title, toolbar, etc) tiddlers in a lightbox overlay with the macro <<divbox>> or <<tiddlybox>>. It did take me a good time to find out how to use these macros, by the way... The good news is that Eric came up with a great new invention: pasteUpplugin. I'm working on it now, and it seems that with his pasteUps, what you place on top stays on top, as long as you define the parts as belonging to one whole. Have a look at his quickstart document! I'll be fiddling with it some more and show you what I did some time soon, I hope. good luck, mitchke http://www.tiddlytools.com/quickstart/pasteup.html http://www.tiddlytools.com/quickstart/moveable.html http://preso.tiddlyspace.com http://jon.tiddlyspace.com http://stickydesktop.tiddlyspace.com http://tw.lewcid.org/#TiddlyLightBoxPlugin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
