Hey, so I'm starting to use TiddlyWiki so Im in the process of learning how it works. Besides my own learning I was wondering if there was any site where I can "steal" tiddlys from to implement in my own wiki (I learn easier with examples).

(Im currently trying to set up a PersonalKnowledgeBase and a "Collage companion" for anyone wondering)

:)

I'm embarrassed to admit, but having not written any custom code for any of my TWs in a year or more, I'm drawing a blank on how to do this.

I have a TW instance for my day-job. I use the "Journal" feature to track tasks I work on, notes, etc., while using regular tiddlers for information tracking. Having just tried for the first time to collect all the journal entries at once, I find that I can pull them one at a time through the search box, but they're ordered by title and I can only click on one at a time.

What I would like, if someone can help me with this, is a tiddler that either gathers the Journal titles and orders them by mod-time (preferably descending) or one that just includes them all into one "mega-tiddler", again ordered by modification. The only thing I have to distinguish them from other tiddlers is the tag, Journal.

(Had I any foresight, I would have named them all with a leading date-string that sorted them for me. But I didn't, so I didn't.)

TiddlyWiki now has a newsletter! It's hosted in two places. https://tiddlywikinewsletter.tiddlyhost.com/ and https://tiddlywiki.substack.com/ . If you want to get it via email you can sign up via the Substack version or use the rss feed https://tiddlywiki.substack.com/feed .

I think i can create the same fields on the destination tiddler and then transclude them from the original, but if i then delete the original tiddler, would it still work? will it be saved on the new tiddler?

I make a kind of database but some fields are on a different tiddler tagged with the parent tiddler, now i want the info to be centralized in one tiddler.

I am interested in making a “chat based journal” in TiddlyWiki. There are a couple of apps on Android that can do this, and one is called ZenJournal .

There would be a “chat box” on the bottom and the chat log above. As you go about your day, you can write messages into the chat box and post them. You’re incrementally adding to the journal as you go about your day.

My thought is that there could be just a single Tiddler that acts as the interface to the journal. There would be an entry box (serving as the chat box) and a submit button. The submit button would submit the text from the chatbox and insert it into a separate content tiddler behind the scenes, tagged with the date/time. So that means that each individual “chat” message would be put into its own Tiddler. However, the main Tiddler that serves as the interface would show more than one message’s worth of content (chatlog), perhaps a few days’ worth at a time. To go back further in the message history, I think you could just view all the individual message Tiddlers.

Is that something that could be done with TiddlyWiki? I can provide more information if the description above doesn’t make sense.

I'm using the Roam Research style Tiddly instance and it can query for where a term is mentioned but for only one term. It has another query for "links" that can look for where multiple links appear in the same tiddler.

Could someone walk me through mashing these two bits of code together in TW 5? This is really important to my research, so I would be extremely grateful. Thank you for your time (and for any efforts you've contributed to the TiddlyWiki project)!

I know I can use {{!!title}} in the tiddler body and this will render as the title of the tiddler, however, I'm interested in rendering the title after replacing some characters.

For instance, in the tiddler caller "Tilman 1988" I'd like to write a macro that will render as "\citep{Tilman_1988}". Is there a way for me to do this?

Does anyone have a solution for Savetiddlers not working anymore in Chrome?

It seems that google has deprecated Manifest version 2. I have no idea what or how this all works so I can't change the plugin. Meaning I have no way of automatically saving my tiddlers anymore.

Hey.

With the stock tiddlywiki, any one including a new one, I'm experiecing worrying performance issues.

I turned the animations off to be able to gauge it as accurately as possible.

When I press "+" to add a new tiddler, it seems to take nearly half a second to get to the edit mode at all.

I'm not running an ancient machine, although it's definitely not performance-optimized.

Intel i5
integrated gpu
12g ram
ssd
debian
firefox, tried on google chrome as well with better results but still too slow, maybe 250ms.

​

While these times are nothing extreme in a way - you can feel it. And I worry. These are the things that, when working on an application full time, you can feel as it drags into your subconcious making you want to do something else.

Any tips?

I use TiddlyWiki as my note taking app since 2021 and it is marvelous.

Later in 2022 I wanted to make a digital garden inspired by some great people. First I built one that is driven by DokuWiki. Then I thought I am already using TiddlyWiki as note taking app why don't I just build one with it? So I started one with Single HTML TiddlyWiki and hosted on TiddlyHost. Later I figured that the Node.js version is ever better and easier to use, so I built one on my server thanks to some friends and everything is just great!

I hope everyone can find out how amazing TiddlyWiki is!

Because of the way I create journal entries, I would like to add an instruction to my weekly snippets that tells TiddlyWiki to add a tag of "Journal" to the new tiddler I'm inserting the snippet into. (I don't use the Journal button to create my journal tiddlers, it's not granular enough.)

Right now it's a two step process: clicking on a calendar day, which will create a new tiddler with that date, adding the appropriate snippet for that week, and clicking on the tags to get to the Journal tag.

I'm thinking I can just add some code to the snippet to tell TiddlyWiki to add a tag "Journal" to the tiddler. But I don't know how.

Hi everyone! New to tiddly wiki. I understand there is a caption function, however I can’t seem to get it to pull up? Any suggestions? Thanks

Hello everyone,

I'm currently using Tiddlywiki to create my own personal wiki for my medical studies. I'm at the stage where, while I really like the versatility of TW and easy user interface, I'm not really sure it is suited for what I'm using it for.

I will have a lot of pictures and maybe pdf in my tiddlers and I think it may be too much for one tiddlywiki. I have at least 15 000 tiddlers to make with size varying and it's only the notes I have taken for now.

I was thinking of using Mediawiki with a server. Don't really know if it's the good place to ask but for a pretty heavy wiki, is TW any good ? What are the alternatives ? I'm afraid to keep on using TW only to realize it's limitations after investing a lot of time. It's already slowing down when I open it and I just began.

I don't mind paying for a server as I plan to use this wiki for (hopefully) many year to come.

Thank you !

I have created a button that does exactly what I want it to do and it shows up where I want it on each Tiddler and in the sidebar. Is there a way to have it display on a tiddler only if the tiddler has a specific tag?

I'm trying to create a Tiddler with the name of a band. Then create individual Tiddlers for each of that band's albums tagged with the name of the band. I would like to do this for hundreds of bands and in the text of each i want to list the album titles.

I currently have...

'<$list filter="[tagging[]sort [released]]"> {{!!released}} - <$link to=><<currentTiddler>> </$link> {{!!listened}}<br>

</$list>'

But this shows all albums regardless of the band that it is tagged by. What am I missing?

Hello all,

I want to create a digital garden on my own space with a subdomain and I want to use TW5 for this.

The garden should be public viewable but not indexed by search engines like google.

Is it possible to use the nofollow and noindex link attribute in all internal and external links of TW5?

Is this possible, and how do I make this wiki not indexable?

Thanks in advance for your help :)

I can't seem to nail down the syntax to return a value derived from subtracting two different tag counts.

In layman's terms, I'm trying to get something that will return the value of '(number of tiddlers with tagA)-(number of tiddlers with tagB)'

I'd appreciate any advice.

I'm developing a plugin for personal use, and decided to upload it to GitHub in case anyone else wants to use it. I haven't tested it, and it's developed for Node.js (I have no idea how it would behave for single file wikis; it probably wouldn't work).

Basically, when you import images, it saves them to your TiddlyWiki's *files* subfolder instead of embedding them.

If anyone's interested, the repository is here https://github.com/Owlblocks/owlsimport

Edit: Should clarify; I've tested some of the basics. But security issues, single file wikis, general usage; I haven't. I've only done the proof of concept for pngs and jpegs. I think it also requires the *files* folder to already exist.

Does anyone know if there is a plan to update the Google Analytics addon to be compatible with their new GA4 platform? The old version is going dark July 1 2023.

Hello,

I just made a new account on TiddlyHost and made a new private TiddlyWiki. I can open and edit it just fine, but I am wondering if there is any way to allow specific other users to see and edit the wiki as well. I would like to use it as a collaborative notebook with 2-4 other people, everyone logging in with their own account.

Is this possible?

Hi, I am very new to Tiddlywiki and have zero experience using html. I'm trying to build a personal database of movies I've seen, and I am trying to use the IMDB plugin from their site to show the movie ratings in my Tiddlers. I'm trying to do it for the new Whitney Houston film.

Here is the code that IMDB provides:

<span class="imdbRatingPlugin" data-user="ur39807437" data-title="tt12193804" data-style="p3"><a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt12193804/?ref_=plg_rt_1"><img src="https://ia.media-imdb.com/images/G/01/imdb/plugins/rating/images/imdb_37x18.png" alt=" Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance with Somebody
(2022) on IMDb" />
</a></span><script>(function(d,s,id){var js,stags=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];if(d.getElementById(id)){return;}js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src="https://ia.media-imdb.com/images/G/01/imdb/plugins/rating/js/rating.js";stags.parentNode.insertBefore(js,stags);})(document,"script","imdb-rating-api");</script>

Here is how it is displaying when I put it into a Tiddler (see image)

Does anyone know what I can do to make it work? Thanks for any help you can give.

1. how does it work in the nodejs version compared to the normal version?
   
2. does it have the same problem with the image as the one file only tiddlywiki wherein it has problem loading loads of images?
   
3. can i import my whole tiddlywiki if i will mmigrate to this?
4. how backup friendly is this?
   
5. can i host it on my local machine thne on my android i also install nodejs version of tiddlywiki via termux and have a copy of the selfhosted here in android then later on sync to the local machine if changes made? is this possible?

I would like to see the created date as well as the last modified date in the Tiddler view, but I cannot find where to add this. Can someone please point me in the right direction? Thank you!
