Folks, I just wanted to post that I am developing a MyMenus Plugin for TiddlyWiki, I am very excited about it and close to finishing, unfortunately some international travel may delay publishing.
- Below is a summary of what I am trying to achieve, references to
"prior art" (others work) may be helpful.
- A Couple of outstanding issues are also listed should you have
something to contribute.
This is my first plugin, and so it is taking a little longer to refine it
before publishing.
*Just a Quick Summary*
- The my menus plugin provides a quick and easy method of building menus
in wikitext, view templates and elsewhere using existing or dedicated
tiddlers.
- The method I am using makes it possible to use almost any wiki text or
macros to build menu items
- This means the sky is the limit, and MyMenus may be a great way to
implement any number of solutions with TiddlyWiki
- This complicates publishing my plugin because I want to provide a
rich set of examples in the Documentation
- Menus can appear as a dropdown menu, simple links, or within details
sections.
*Here is a few examples*
A Menu to
- Handle tagging logic
- Tiddler Types
- Field manipulation
- Task and Project management
- Executing macros
- New Tiddler and New Journal
- Lists of items tagged or tagging
- Help information
- Access to Various system settings
The menus are also readily exchanged with other MyMenu's users, so I hope
to build an eco-system of solutions.
I strong use case is add tools menus during the design phase and remove
them before publishing your wiki.
*Outstanding issues*
- Enabling subMenus
Whist this is possible I cant seem to get cascading menus - perhaps
because of my style sheet, which does not include any state handling
(attached)
- Conditional Display in ViewTemplate
I understand various possibilities, but I am finding it difficult to
include *one or more filters* in a menu tiddler (in its fields), that
determines one or more cases where it will be displayed in the view
template.
Examples include
- Show if Tagged foo
- Show if Field exists
- Show if Field exists and has a value or specific value
- Show if title Prefixed
- Show if specific tiddler
- Show if tiddler title same as Menu Tiddler title
The trick is combining one or more filters to show one or more menus
according to their individual filter sets on a single line.
Any way, I hope you are as excited as I am on this and can contribute now
and test when released.
Regards
Tony
