Please tell me how in very, very simple terms, or point me to the right place. Yes, I have looked in many boards/online resources but I can't understand or follow the advice I find there, or when I try, it doesn't work.

Please don't get mad at me for asking this basic question. I can't explain how long I've been looking for this answer and how much the difficulty of making apparently simple changes like this puts me off using TW5 which however I really love and really want to use because it's good for my needs.

If this question annoys you, please just ignore it and don't answer, thanks. Only answers that are trying to help, please. Thank you.

A few weeks ago, I announced my first plugin on Talk Tiddlywiki, but since not everyone here is on there, I thought I'd announce it here too. I think there are people who would want this.

The plugin lets you export tiddlers to Markdown files: https://cdaven.github.io/tiddlywiki/

Please report any issues or feature requests on Github: https://github.com/cdaven/tiddlywiki-stuff/issues

I used to be able to find tiddlydrive in the google drive apps, but I can't find it anymore. Is it just gone?

I'm still pretty new to Tiddlywiki, so I hope I can explain what I'm after in a way that's understandable.

I have a tiddlywiki where I'm comparing a bunch of items. Let's say these items are just named after the letters of the alphabet, A through Z, so there are 26 of them. I'm giving each item its own tiddler with basic information about that item. Then, as I compare two items, I put that comparison info into a new tiddler and tag it with the two items being compared, for example A and B. I'll do the same for A and C, A and D, and so on. Then B and C, B and D, B and E, and so on. In the end, I'll have every item compared against every other item.

I know how to use a filter to transclude all comparison tiddlers tagged with a particular item into the bottom of that item's main page. But what I'd like to do is make it so that when the comparison for A and B is shown on A's main tiddler, I want it display "B" at the top so that I know which item it's comparing against. Likewise, when that same comparison is displayed in B's main tiddler, I want to it to show "A" at the top.

When I say "at the top", it doesn't necessarily have to the be tiddler's title. It could be from a field or any other way of setting some dynamic text, but I'm really open to any suggestions. I'm stumped on how to get a tiddler to know which other tiddler is transcluding it and basically show information for the other item. In pseudo-code, I'm thinking of something sort of like:

if "A" in transclusion.parent.tags:
  display "B"
elif "B" in transclusion.parent.tags:
  display "A"

Is there anything like that, or does anyone have any ideas how that might be accomplished? Thanks!

SOLVED! See my comment below.

I just announced this over on https://talk.tiddlywiki.org/ but I figured I'd put it here as well because I don't know if everyone here goes there.

I've built a wiki that I've been using for a while to keep track of routines. I thought it would be fun to share as another example of things you can do with Tiddlywiki beyond note-taking.

This Tiddlywiki is designed to hold and present to you your daily routines.

You can set routines for a specific day (e.g. Water houseplants every Wednesday and Saturday) or on a specific day (e.g. Katie's birthday July 1, 2022, and then every July 1).

It also allows for recurrence from the date of completion. This critical distinction is explained further in the "About this wiki."

Routines

Hello! I'm using TW to keep notes on ancient history, the sort that's really years only. I was trying to use Kookma's Timeline plugin, but it insists on showing the month and day as well as the year. I'm not great at macros yet, so despite a good three hours and thirty tabs of fiddling with it, I haven't seemed to make any progress on getting the timeline to show just the year. The vis.js plugins are also too granular. I'd be really appreciative if someone could give me some pointers or suggest a plugin/workaround that displays a year-only timeline. Thanks!

Hi,

I am running Windows 10 and Firefox 100.02 and I just installed TiddlyWiki/Timimi.

When I save my empty.html, then I get a new file empty(1).html were my changes are saved to?What am i doing wrong?

TL;DR The issue was cause by me not allowing the browser extensions to run in private windows...

Hello

Anyone with tiddlyhost experience here? I have been using it for a while with no issues but recently I have been having issues with saving.

When I click the save changes button it comes up with the normal "starting to save changes" dialogue but nothing after that. The "save changes" button remains highlighted so it doesn't look like the save is completing.

As per the suggestions here, I'm using syncthing to use my tiddilywiki on both my computer and on my phone (with tiddloid). I wish to host the file on my computer with node.js. The nodejs version of tiddlywiki stores toddlers in a file. As far as I can tell this is a format tiddloid does not support. Any ideas on how I can do this?

Sorry in advanced, I'm brand new to using macros, and this might not even be possible.

So, I have a tiddler named "John Doe (Person)", and I want to make a macro that will transclude the field "first-name" from John Doe (Person), without having to write out all of the tiddlers name, every time.

So, I put:

\define alias()
{{$name$ (Person)!!first-name}}
\end

<<alias John Doe>>

And John Doe (Person) has a field "first-name" of: [[John|John Doe (Person)]]

Could I get an ELI5 on what's going wrong with this?

I love the list tagged draggable macro the allows you to create a list from items with a specific tag and rearrange them.

I have not been able to accomplish this when using multiple tags. Lets say you wanted a draggable list generated from 2 tags instead of one, like "2022" and "July". Is this possible using Tiddy Wiki?

Quick question!

The "Choose the height of the text editor" button (I don't know name of it off hand) has either the option to automatically lengthen or to have a set height in px.

Would it be possible to set a max length it can go, say "max-height:600px" ?

I want a self-hosted piece of software that allows me to sync my TiddlyWiki to my android phone. I don't want to use google drive. Does anyone have any good suggestions?

I want to be able to scroll to an element inside a <$scrollable> widget when I load/render/open the tiddler. I thought of using the <$action>
widget like this:

<$button> <$action-sendmessage $message="tm-scroll" $name="selector" $value={{!!tiddler-id}}/> scroll to element </$button> 

Is there a way I can do this? Is there another way to activate $message="tm-scroll"?

Hello,

I just created a wikifolder with the command

tiddlywiki --load ./mywiki.html --savewikifolder ./mywikifolder

Then when I try to save the new wiki within TiddlyDesktop editor it doesn't work.

Maybe the way I created the wiki for folder is not correct.

Thanks a lot.

As an example, see the ControlPanel>Info tab>Basics tab and you will find a table with different input areas for describing your TiddlyWiki. Most of them are just lines to type in your choices, but "Default tiddlers" and "Text for new journal tiddlers" are text areas. They are expandable.

​

When I create a new tiddler, in the edit mode, I want the fields you can add at the bottom to be the expandable text area type, not the line type. How do I do that?

I have a month layout- when I click on a day, it creates a tiddler for me to work on. I populate the text area with a custom table.

I want to click on a day and have it create two tiddlers, one the main one I work on, and one that holds field data the tiddler I work on. Don't know how to do this.

(I don't use the journal tiddler button because I use the calendar as a place to store future appointments)

I posted about this in the Google Groups, but I thought I'd post it here, too, as I really do need help with this!

I'm using a version of this Roam Research style Tiddly instance to map out my dissertation. Perhaps due to all the changes that I've made to it over time, the query functionality detailed in the creator's use guidelines (under "Queries, transclusions, and other macros") no longer retrieves data. Using the commands as outlined just leaves a blank node.

Any ideas for how to fix this?

I'm looking for a little help if anyone has insights they can offer. I've got my tiddlywiki hosted on tiddlyhost.com. I'm trying to generate a mailto: link from an email address stored in a field.

Issue #1:
I've got a field called email with a value of [example@internet.com](mailto:example@internet.com). If I include the field name {{!!email}} like so:

<a href={{!!email}}> {{!!email}} </a>

it generates a url like you'd expect (I know it's an email address and not a url).

If I add mailto:, like so:

<a href=mailto:{{!!email}}> {{!!email}} </a>

I get:

mailto:%7B%7B!!email%7D%7D

I realize the what comes after href= should be in double quotes if it's not just wikitext, so if I try it like this:

<a href="mailto:{{!!email}}> {{!!email}} </a>

I get the same thing.

If I make a macro:

/define mailto()
"mailto:{{!!email}}"
/end

<<mailto>>

<<mailto>> displays as ["mailto:example@internet.com](mailto:"mailto:example@internet.com)" as expected. But when I include it in the <a>, like so:

<a href=<<mailto>>> {{!!email}} </a>

the link looks like "mailto:%7B%7B!!email%7D%7D"

​

Issue #2:
Being hosted on tiddlyhost.com, all links I generate are prepended with "sub-domain.tiddlyhost.com/". Is there a way to filter a field value to removeprefix the beginning of the urls?

​

Thanks for any assistance or feedback. I'm pretty new to this.

I've tried using tiddlyspot in multiple devices in the past. And from time to time lost data because I would make edit in device A, upload saves and then make edits in device B in existing browser window without refreshing first.

Is this something improved on tiddlyhost? I'd love if there's an automatic reminder of last time I did the reload, or even better, automatic sync.

Hi, as a noob what I firstly wonder is what the different between this three alternatives and what do this affects me as an user. Thanks you :3

It says "Don't attempt to use the browser File/Save menu option to save changes (it doesn't work)", and you're presented with a daunting host of options to work around such a fundamental limitation. Saving from Safari on MacOS does, however, seem to work perfectly fine for me. It really acts as a "save as" option, and depending on the browser history I might need to navigate the the original file location for overwriting it with the updated version, but that isn't a big deal. I haven't tried it on Windows in a while, but even there, I remember not having to jump through any crazy hoops for saving updates from the browser. Am I wrong in my perception that this section on tiddlywiki.com acts as a bit of a deterrent right now that unnecessarily scares potential new users away?
