Folks,
I hope you are having a good weekend.
- I just thought I would share some of my thinking and tiddlywiki
activities. Ask me if you want more details. Yes I have placed a lot on my
plate, so nothing will necessary complete soon.
- And whilst it will take time for me to publish these I will be able to
give advice on how to do these.
- If you know of previous work or clues in relation to any of these
please share, if you want to discuss something in depth please start a new
thread.
- My work is always about achieving what I need whilst developing more
general solutions that can be used on any wiki.
- I would need crowd funding to develop any of these for publishing
soon, but most will come in time.
*HTML Templates*
I have started building HTML based templates for the display of tiddler
contents. Sure some complex ones will be possible but just presenting
standard contents and fields is where I am starting.
These templates are also sensitive to a tiddler-mode of view, update and
edit. This is presented in the view template and the edit template remains
the same.
- View: A Readonly presentation of the wiki
- Update: Basically a view with selected fields available on a click to
edit inline
- Edit: An edit template within a HTML formatted wiki, Typically used
for new tiddlers or big edits.
- Possibly a "New" Template that includes guidance on creating a new
tiddler
The above modes will be sensitive to an overall tiddlywiki setting such
that update and edit will not be selectable in read only mode
To support the above
*TiddlyWiki Field handling*
- Providing an infrastructure for the detailed definition of any field
including a field-type, which is then used to present the view update and
edit of the field in the above *HTML Templates*.
- This will include information such as a column title when this
field is used in a list
- Field definition tiddlers should be fairly simple as their main
setting is a field-type, field types will contain the key view/edit and
update code. So all fields with the same field-type will share the same
code.
- The ability to override a field definition with an alternate
field-type in templates when desired eg date-select vs a date and time
stamp.
- A HTML template for field tiddlers
*Link Handling*
- Providing the ability to drop links (or paste into) onto a wiki from
multiple sources. This will offer to import "untitled" by default. I have
provided a method to identify untitled tiddlers and offer to save them as a
link tiddler.
- Then providing the method to list and display link tiddlers with an
icon if available.
- Cater for http/https/ftp/file/custom/etc protocols for links
*Desktop Interaction*
Starting with my Own Windows 10, I am building tools and features into a
TiddlyDesktop wiki that can interact with the Windows desktop, trigger
automation and more.
- Launch programs and batch files,
- Document and save batch/command/powershell and other files to disk (eg
Link Handling above) including links of the form c:\ becoming file:///c:\
- Using firefox to browse the file system and drag and drop full file
and folder paths onto my desktop wiki.
- Use the desktop wiki to view the contents of files on the system and
click to edit in their native application
- Links to open "Windows Explorer" folders from the wiki.
*TiddlyWiki Integration with WordPress (longer term)*
- The ability to open TiddlyWikis within WordPress pages
- Ideally one day save tiddlers into MySQL and access them from
WordPress and other Tiddlywikis.
- Provide the infrastructure for indexing/searching/accessing
tiddlywikis local or internet based tiddlywikis including all objects such
as macros, plugins, editions etc...
*A new user interactive version of TiddlyWiki.com*
- Providing the ability for you to test and save,
- Take notes, make comments and receive guidance on tiddlywiki.
- Engage in discussions about tiddlywiki
- Special search options to get filter operators, widgets and messages.
*Active user utility.*
- Forcing the selection of a user before proceeding with a tiddlywiki
(Simple, and on single file wikis especially)
- Extend this to have passwords, user encrypted tiddlers within a shared
wiki.
*Serial editing - check in and Check out*
- Along with *Active user utility* providing a method to control access
and saving of a single file wiki by providing a check in and checkout
method. I can only save changes to disk if I have it checked out.
- This will most likely utilize the local storage plugin and other
5.1.20 pre-release features.
*And more...*
Regards
Tony
