Mat, This idea has merit, and it has being discussed previously. The Start to understanding this is https://tiddlywiki.com/#Installing%20a%20plugin%20from%20the%20plugin%20library I believe others have built their own libraries.
and related information includes - The system tag <https://tiddlywiki.com/#SystemTags> $:/tags/PluginLibrary marks the plugin library - WidgetMessage: tm-load-plugin-from-library And you can download https://tiddlywiki.com/library/v5.1.11/index.html to see what it looks like inside a plugin library. One thing that loading plugins does is force a save and reload, which regular tiddlers and bundles often do not. So if the library mechanisium is extended beyond plugins this should make this "import" occur silently on a click. Because of the WidgetMessage: tm-load-plugin-from-library can be used in an action widget we should be able to use it in startup actions and according to other triggers, one trigger that would be great is on a change in date stamp on the library file. Perhaps we could have tiddler Libraries in addition to plugin libraries. The corollary is saving or exporting to the library file, I would be nice if on a trigger we can save a filtered list of tiddlers to a named library file, and where a save mechanism is available use that, for example if I could authorise my Wiki on top of tw-reciever (PHP saver) to save to "library name", or at worst resort to the download saver (undesirable). I as yet do not know how to hack the plugins from library method as I do the interactive import function, I do not know how to intervene and choose to add a prefix to imported tiddlers and other selective processing. However with a controlled export to a library we can manage around this. *Perhaps some of our team mates can throw some light on this. With a little help we could possibly hack together a solution that may demonstrate its value.* Regards Tony On Saturday, July 13, 2019 at 6:00:56 AM UTC+10, Mat wrote: > > Is tiddlywiki.com set up in some special way that enables this official > plugin library to serve tiddlers from it? > > Assuming it is, why can't this be built into native TW so that people can > fetch tiddlers from each others wikis? > > <:-) > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWikiDev" group.
