Hi guys I have a really cool idea, but it might be just a bit beyond me. I am going to tinker today, but I figure you guys will have better ideas about how best to do this.
I currently tend to use a tiddler titled $:/.Children, and tagged "$:/tags/ViewTemplate" . This tiddler lists links to the titles of all the tiddlers with backlinks to the current tiddler. The list appears at the bottom of the tiddler, below the text. I would like to be able to toggle between viewing four such "children" in the open tiddlers: 1) $:/.Linksviewer: Lists only the title links for all backlinks. 2) $:/.Printviewer: Shows the text field for all backlinks, separated by a <hr>, 3) $:/FullViewer: Same as #2 but also including a link to each of those tiddlers [[(open)|title]], and 4) Blank: none of the three previous are tagged "$:/tags/ViewTemplate", and nothing shows below the text field. This would be default. Rationale: a) My notetaking for this TW would be adding individual observations, quotes, etc and adding links (rather than tags) to related topics and sources. The tiddlers would have datetimestamps to save me from naming the tiddlers. Then I create topic tiddlers from the empty links in the note tiddlers (and from the "Missing" tab). I have found this to be the fastest way to add notes and connect them. I also tend to move from the top down by creating table of contents tiddlers for broader subjects. b) Different types of tiddlers need different types of displays of related tiddlers. But viewers 2 and 3 would slow down TiddlyWiki if they were default. At least, that has been my experience. Jeremy once told me it is because it is a complex list filter being applied to the tiddlers. So I am thinking that 1, 2, and 3 can be viewers that let you see this content when needed, and turned off most of the time when speed is of the essence. Maybe my reasoning is wrong, I don't know. I know how to create the 3 list filters. What I don't know how to do is create buttons to put in the sidemenu that add the "$:/tags/ViewTemplate" tag to one viewer and remove that tag from the other two. I was originally thinking of 4 buttons, but maybe a dropdown list would be better? Also I don't know how to make #4 the default when opening the TW. Anyway, this is a little beyond my ability and I was wondering if a few of you might lend me a hand / suggestions. I will share the results freely with everyone when I am done with it.
