Hi, I have a TiddlyWiki set up with Reader and Author/Admin views fairly well segregated (by using TaggedTemplateTweak and toggling in and out of edit mode by extending the ToggleReadOnly tiddler). For better segregation, I was considering using the ChangeMode plugin from Bidix's site (love that plugin, Bidix!) but I'm not considering splitting up the TiddlyWiki into a content file and admin/editing file and hiding a tiddler in the content file that will import the the admin/editing tools/ViewTemplates. The file size of the single file is growing too fast and this would help keep the regular visitor file size down while also providing a tidier separation of content and editing.
I plan to use Eric Schulman's LoadTiddlersPlugin in combination with his TemporaryTiddlersPlugin to temporarily pull the admin tools into the content file. This works great for things like the advance import/ export plugins and the long formatting guide I made up to help the content editors -- They're pulled in upon clicking my 'Load' button and loaded so that they provide additional functionality, but they never saved into the file. Perfect. However: What I'm doing now does not work as well for tiddlers that are over- written upon Load. Example: I was previously using a ToggleSideBarTabs mixed with ToggleReadOnly to hide/unhide my SideBarTabs. With the Load/TemporaryTiddlers setup, though, I could reduce the complexity of the site by making the SideBarTabs tiddler in the content file blank and then Loading from the admin file will pull in one that works (assuming I've edited it, I think, so that it's not a default Shadow tiddler(?) ). However, on save, NO SideBarTabs tiddler is written to the content file, and the way that save works, the blanked-out one is deleted so that upon closing and re-opening the page, TiddlyWiki loads up the default shadow tiddler, which I want to be invisible prior to loading in the admin tools. Question: Is there a way that Load/Temporary could still store the original, overwritten tiddlers in the background so that they are included during a save of the file? Or would it be possible to use the export plugin as a save mechanism? And have it export/overwrite to file only those tiddlers that have changed and which are not tagged temporary? I have figured out a few ways to manually close out the content file -- for instance by permanently re-loading blanked out tiddlers like SideBarTabs from a third TiddlyWiki file or pure store file before saving. I'd really like to avoid this though to keep it simple for the content editors. I convinced my organization to give TiddlyWiki a try because of the low technical complexity for content authoring. Will appreciate any help. Thanks, Scott -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
