Hi vpl,

you can interpret TiddlyWiki as a Storage coupled with a template engine. As such it is pretty easy to generate (static) HTML pages based on tiddlers. So to go from a TW with tiddlers containing your data to a set of HTML pages representing that data, you would only need a template where you put in the fields of the tiddler in the right place. I assume you are working with nodejs, so take a look at the rendertiddler/s commands [1], that should get you going into the right direction. You will only need new macros/widgets if your data needs to be worked on in some way to produce the desired result.

However, not knowing your excact requirements, I can imagine that if it is not too complicated, you can probably implement the whole process in vanilla TiddlyWiki (maybe with some additional macros)

Hi,

I need to build a web site, similar to a catalog for accessing a large number of pages that will be formated the same way (real-estate agency portal). The decision has been taken to use TW5 as a Database. For many reason: portability, and ease to create new tiddler following a given template (for non developper), portability, price, and ... stability !! Nevertheless it's too complex for us to develop a front-end UI totally based on TW5 to reach the level of look and feel requested.

My initial intend is to develop a small intermediate script that take in input the TW5 export (content & field) and produce the HTML pages I need for the web portal.

I've touch the macro development of TW5, not plugin yet .. but all is javascript based. I know also that using external js library of TW5 is not possible as long as they are not part of a "packaged" plugin (and they are very nice HTML parser Javascript lib available).

So I'm wondering
If I choose to develop this "intermediat" process into TW5 what would be the best direction ? Macro, Module, Plugin ?
In this case where Am I limited in term of Js lib when developing ?
Could you sketch me briefly the direction to take for doing that into TW5 ?

Would be great to get your inputs

Regards

Vpl
