*This only works in the 5.1.8 prerelease version* (and will work in future versions, just not the current 5.1.7 or past versions)
I think that both the StartupActions plugin (demo site <http://ooktech.com/jed/ExampleWikis/StartupActions/>) and the TriggerActions (demo site <http://ooktech.com/jed/ExampleWikis/TriggerActions/>) plugins are ready to be used. But be warned, I haven't heard that anyone other than me has tested either one. If you aren't careful you can use either one of these to completely rewrite all the tiddlers in your wiki, so back things up before you start experimenting. Overwriting everything in your wiki requires you to deliberately put in a filter like [all[]], so it shouldn't happen by accident, but it can happen. The StartupActions plugin allows you to run a script using action widgets whenever the wiki is opened. Possibly the most obvious use of this is to display a modal welcome message when someone opens a wiki, but it could be used to reset a wiki to its default state and other things. The TriggerActions plugin makes a daemon <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daemon_%28computing%29> that listens for changes in a list of tiddlers and when one of the tiddlers changes it executes a script made of action widgets. There is some quick documentation for this part on my site <http://inmysocks.tiddlyspot.com/#TriggerActions%20Plugin>. I am not worried about the problem of people overwriting all the text in their wikis using this, the same thing can be done using the list widget in the 5.1.8 prerelease the way things are. Go to the prerelease site <http://tiddlywiki.com/prerelease/> and try out the button of doom: <$button>DOOM!! <$list filter='[is[system]all[]][is[shadow]all[]][all[]]'> <$action-setfield text=''/> </$list> </$button> Is this considered a problem? I like having a button of doom. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
