Hi all, Realise that this post has been quiet for a while but I thought I'd add my thoughts as I needed to create a Read Only tiddly.
I downloaded the "empty.html" and made a copy, made my changes to remove all the "edit" buttons and then used MELD (http://meldmerge.org/) to compare the two html files. >From there I wrote a script in Autoit (but any language would do) to do a simple find and replace on the text in the html to reflect the differences I saw in MELD. To test it you will need to install Autoit - https://www.autoitscript.com/site/autoit/downloads/ And download the tiddlywiki - http://tiddlywiki.com/#Download Once downloaded then copy and rename the file to "empty_RW.html" as that is what the script looks for (the "_RW" is for Read Write and helps you keep track of what you are up to) Then copy and paste the script below into Autoit, save it then press F5 to run it, point it at "empty_RW.html" and you will find another file created called "empty_RO.html" which will have all the edit features removed. I haven't given this the full "hack" test and I am sure that with a little effort a hardcore user would be able to get to the missing system tiddlers but for most purposes this will work. Enjoy :-) Dave Here is the code for Autoit - ;***** CODE STARTS ;Open Tiddly $File = FileOpenDialog("Please select Tiddlywiki", @DesktopDir & "\", "HTML (*.html;*.htm)", 1 + 2) If @error Then MsgBox(4096, "", "No File chosen") Exit Else If StringInStr($File, "_RW.html") Then $ReadOnly = StringReplace($File, "_RW.html", "_RO.html") Else $ReadOnly = StringReplace($File, "_RW.htm", "_RO.htm") EndIf $FileCreate = FileOpen($ReadOnly, 2) $FileRead = FileOpen($File, 0) While 1 $FileLine = FileReadLine($FileRead) If @error = -1 Then ExitLoop ;Remove Sidebar - $:/core/ui/SideBarLists If StringInStr($FileLine, "<$macrocall $name=\"tabs\" tabsList=\"[all[shadows+tiddlers]tag[$:/tags/SideBar]!has[draft.of]]\" default={{$:/config/DefaultSidebarTab}} state=\"$:/state/tab/sidebar\" />") Then $FileLine = StringReplace($FileLine, "<$macrocall $name=\"tabs\" tabsList=\"[all[shadows+tiddlers]tag[$:/tags/SideBar]!has[draft.of]]\" default={{$:/config/DefaultSidebarTab}} state=\"$:/state/tab/sidebar\" />", "<!-- Deleted Sidebar -->") EndIf If StringInStr($FileLine, '<div id="storeArea" style="display:none;">') Then ;Hide these buttons FileWriteLine($FileCreate, $FileLine) FileWriteLine($FileCreate, '<div modified="20151005100728309" title="$:/config/EditToolbarButtons/Visibility/$:/core/ui/Buttons/cancel"><pre>hide</pre></div>') FileWriteLine($FileCreate, '<div modified="20151005100727113" title="$:/config/EditToolbarButtons/Visibility/$:/core/ui/Buttons/delete"><pre>hide</pre></div>') FileWriteLine($FileCreate, '<div modified="20151005100728309" title="$:/config/EditToolbarButtons/Visibility/$:/core/ui/Buttons/save"><pre>hide</pre></div>') FileWriteLine($FileCreate, '<div modified="20151005100728309" title="$:/config/PageControlButtons/Visibility/$:/core/ui/Buttons/control-panel"><pre>hide</pre></div>') FileWriteLine($FileCreate, '<div modified="20151005100728309" title="$:/config/PageControlButtons/Visibility/$:/core/ui/Buttons/new-tiddler"><pre>hide</pre></div>') FileWriteLine($FileCreate, '<div modified="20151005100728309" title="$:/config/PageControlButtons/Visibility/$:/core/ui/Buttons/save-wiki"><pre>hide</pre></div>') FileWriteLine($FileCreate, '<div modified="20151005100728309" title="$:/config/ViewToolbarButtons/Visibility/$:/core/ui/Buttons/edit"><pre>hide</pre></div>') FileWriteLine($FileCreate, '<div modified="20151005100728309" title="$:/config/ViewToolbarButtons/Visibility/$:/core/ui/Buttons/more-tiddler-actions"><pre>hide</pre></div>') ;Show these buttons FileWriteLine($FileCreate, '<div modified="20151005100728309" title="$:/config/PageControlButtons/Visibility/$:/core/ui/Buttons/home"><pre>show</pre></div>') FileWriteLine($FileCreate, '<div modified="20151005100728309" title="$:/config/PageControlButtons/Visibility/$:/core/ui/Buttons/close-all"><pre>show</pre></div>') FileWriteLine($FileCreate, '<div modified="20151005100728309" title="$:/config/ViewToolbarButtons/Visibility/$:/core/ui/Buttons/close-others"><pre>show</pre></div>') $FileLine = FileReadLine($FileRead) EndIf FileWriteLine($FileCreate, $FileLine) WEnd FileClose($FileCreate) FileClose($FileRead) MsgBox(0, "Done", "File - " & $ReadOnly & " Created Successfully") EndIf ;**** CODE ENDS -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
