IMO if you need a sandbox, you should use a sandbox. The $tw.wiki structure is the TW tiddler store, which contains the functions to manipulate tiddlers. It is implemented starting here: https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/blob/master/boot/boot.js#L850
It may be possible to create sandbox structure, that has less functions. eg: initializing / executing plugins and modules is not be needed in the sandbox. As you write, you don't want to interfere with the existing TW UI. The problem here is, that you'll need some helper functions, that map your sandbox tiddler content into the existing UI, so you can view and edit the content. IMO prefixing fields to prevent nasty side effects won't help. Since your plugins may be used / imported into TWs, that are heavily customized. So you may run into naming conflicts in the future. -mario -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
