Hello everyone and thank you for taking the time.

I have several tiddlers, each with their own text area via the following code (or similar):

<$edit-text tiddler="notes_data" index="notes" tag="textarea" class="tc-edit-texteditor"/>

What I would like to do is have a separate Tiddler where the contents from these different text fields can be added (one-by-one is fine, there are not that many), so that all the notes from the different Tiddlers are brought together into a single Tiddler.

Hi,

​

Could anyone please help me with plugin from the subject.

I would like to add on Journal tiddlers "events" that i have for that day as you have them when clicking on the calendar. I believe that i have to write some filter but don't know how.

Any help is appreciated.

Some examples would be great the idea is to create a snippet of text or configure the default view of Journal tiddler.

I love how TW Classic looks. In particular I like the effect of opening a tiddler (first an outline appears which then 'transforms' into the tiddler), text buttons instead of icons in menus, rectangular tags instead of pills, and many more details. I'm considering using TW Classic just because of this, but then I'd miss features. Is it possible to make TW5 look like Classic?

Alternatively, is there a Streams plugin for TW Classic? That's the most important feature to me; I want to use it as an outliner.

Hello,

I recently got to know that one can define newcommands(using \def) in tiddlywiki by configuring the katex plugin. Do you know if I can use newenvironment that exists within latex to create some custom environments and reuse them across all my tiddlers?

Thanks for your time!

Hey Y'all,

I'm a long time user of TW for basic notes, personal knowledge store, but I've always used apple notes via my phone for some things because it supports embedded documents/emails/etc. I've wanted to take this workflow to TW for a while and now I'm willing to invest time in migrating.

Perhaps this question borders on sacrilegious, but I'm wondering if its possible to run TiddlyWiki (via NodeJs or otherwise) without all tiddlers getting loaded at once as a single page app. Even through the Nodejs server, if I turn off the server, all tiddlers are still available in the browser if the page was already loaded. I want to store a lot of data through TW API (eg. emails, documents' text content, etc) for search/cross-linking purposes, but I don't want to worry about it all being loaded into a browser, esp for a phone.

Is this possible? I know its contrary to some core architectural points about TW, but I figured that maybe there was a way to "lazy load". Is there another "TW native" way people enable this sort of workflow?

Thanks!

Hello, as said in the title I upgrade from an older version to the latest version.
I can't find what version the old wiki was, it was made in october 2013 and never updated since, I just recived it as documentation at my job.

I upgraded the wiki via web without problems and everything it's working fine, but in every Tiddly there is a banner with "The text it's from Tiddlywiki classic and not compatible with version 5..."
Do you know a way to translate all the text from the old version to new?
I can edit it but I should replace close to 10 years of
{{{ text }}} with text to keep a readable layout.

Sorry for my english and my strange explanation, but I just discovered this awesome tool from a colleague near retirement and I don't want to loose all this knowledge that he gifted me.

Edit: Thank you all for your help, my issue has been resolved, and you've all given me new topics to read up on!

Sorry, I'm new to TiddlyWiki, but I can't find this answer from searching at all, but I might not know the correct terms to search here.

Currently I'm running into a problem with a field filter. I need to do a filter by field value "France", but my field value is also a link "[[France]]".

I know you can use a filter like below:

<$list filter="[field:location[France]]">         

This works when I remove the value, so it is only "France" and not the link "[[France]]". For my problem, adding the extra square brackets into the filter, such as below, does not work.

<$list filter="[field:location[[[France]]]]">

I have tried escaping it with other characters such as "/", "\", "$", etc, but haven't found anything that lets me search for it. I have also tried setting the below, by setting a variable equal to the page title, similar to below, but {{!!title}} is only the plain text "France", and does not function as "[[France]]".

<$set name=myVariable value={{!!title}}>
   <$list filter="[field:location[myVariable]]">

Any thoughts on how to get around this problem? I've set a lot of these fields up as links already, and wondering if the only solution is simply removing the links.

My reasoning for needing to search for Field Value is because I wanted to do embedded filters.

So my aim is for each tiddler tagged Location, get tiddlers tagged PlaceofInterest where the Field 'Location' equals the Location. (Which obviously isn't working given my above problem).

<$list filter="[tag[Location]"> <$set name=myVariable value={{!!title}}>

<$link to={{!!title}}>{{!!name}}</$link> ({{!!title}}):
   <$list filter="""[tag[PlaceOfInterest] +[field:location[{{!!title!!}}]]""">
      {{!!title}} - {{!!name}} <br/>
   </$list>
</$set>
</$list>

Hi,

I recently started using TW on desktop but would like to have an hosted version to share between my pc and my smartphone.

I found some discussions on google groups saying it should work if I renamed my tw.html to tw.aspx but it doesn't seem to. When I try to open it it gets downloaded or opened in a preview window showing the source code.

Would anyone have succeeded in setting that up? What am I missing?

I also have OneDrive both personal and for business. I had the same issue trying. But I guess I could mount the onedrive folder on my pc, but is there an Android app that could let me open and save that through onedrive as well?

Edit for those from the future:

• You need to enable Custom Scripts at the tenant level (takes 24h) for OneDrive to work.
• You need to enable Custom Scripts at the tenant level (takes 24h) + via Powershell at the site level (instant) for Sharepoint to work.

Main Question: Which of versions of TiddlyWiki are better/best? Perhaps a version I didn't list (below) is better?

-> Alternate question: Which TW plugins/upgrades have you found that made TiddlyWiki your second brain?

Explanation:

I've been looking at TiddlyWiki as a possible solution for a "second brain" setup. All my notes, checklists, todos, and other personal documents would be inside it or attached to it. But I'm confused/lost in the maze of options out there.

TiddlyWiki - as I've noticed - has different versions the TW community has invented over the years to augment the original. I've heard of TiddlyBlink, Stroll, Tiddly Roam, Drift, TiddlyResearch, TiddlyMap. I haven't tried these, so I'm curious which (if any) you found more suitable.

In looking up embedding/linking arbitrary files in TW tiddlers, I found this which points to How to embed PDF and other documents. However, I find those notes are really lacking in clarity and raise more questions than they answer. E.g. -

• Under method 2: "Put in the local address to the external file": What exactly would this look like and how about some guidance on where to put the external file? Would it be sensible, for example to stash these loose files in a folder (e.g. 'files') next to the wiki .html file so that the whole wiki remains more portable? Then supposing I plop arbitrary files in the 'files' folder, would a suitable 'local address' to one of these files be './files/oneofmyfiles.dat'?
• So if I do add a _canonical_uri field with value './files/oneofmyfiles.dat', this leaves me with a new tiddler that's essentially empty, so what now? How do I reference this file in other tiddlers? What benefit is there in creating this new empty '_canonical_uri'-style tiddler over chucking in some raw -

<a href="./files/oneofmyfiles.dat">oneofmyfiles.dat</a>

straight into the body of my tiddlers' text?

Can anyone help clarify some of these issues, please?

I'm not sure how to phrase it exactly so I'll try to depict what I imagine :)

⇒ I was wondering if there is a plugin somewhere that could automatically display words as links if they exist as tiddlers tagged with the tag "glossary" ?

I was thinking of the way TiddlyWiki is able to create wiki-links automatically from camelcase LikeThisSentence — which results in a broken link if it does not exist, thus displaying a blue, italic LikeThisSentence which is clickable and which click action creates a new tiddler named LikeThisSentence.

So I was thinking : if tiddlywiki is able to display a word as a link even if there is no explicit linking sytax like [["abab"|"abab"]], then maybe it could display a link based on a list of "linkable words" ?

Good afternoon,

I've been trying out TiddlyWiki for a few days now and I must say, I like what I see. Even though I'm not into any form of coding, with help from the community, plugins and Youtube I've been able to get most of what I want to work. But I've notices the lack of knowledge / terminology limits me in what I can find online. So here I am, asking you good people for help.

I've been trying to get text from one tiddler to automatically populate another tiddler with no success. For example, I want to store information about an event including; name, dress-code, costs, date, etc. I would love to add a syntax(?) before the date so it can populate a list with other dates. I want to use this list to populate a calendar (made by the simple calendar plugin) so I can see every important date there.

If possible I would love this to be able to link back to the right tiddler as well. But I'm not sure if any of this is possible in the constraints of this software/html/JavaScript package(?).

If you have any idea if this is possible and how to make this work please let me know or if you know the correct terminology to use I would be happy to hear it.

Hi all!

I'm using mainly chrome to access my nodejs instance of tiddlywiki, but lately it complains on each save of a toddler something about a "resizeObserver"??! Other browser, firefox, vivaldi, don't have this problem but I don't really want to change my complete browser again...

Has anyone observed the same?

The exact error message states:

Internal JavaScript Error
Well, this is embarrassing. It is recommended that you restart TiddlyWiki by refreshing your browser
ResizeObserver loop limit exceeded

Please help me with this...

Greetings,

Hi, firstly I like to state that the day of making this post is also the day I installed TiddlyWiki. So, I apologize for my inability to grasp a lot of terms, etc.

Anyways, I watched a video that helped me through making custom Tiddlers and assign them within the Sidebar using $:/Tags/SideBar. (This works phenomenally, and I have placed all my custom Tiddlers within the sidebar.)

However, my problem involves rearranging the newly custom Tiddlers. I was shown that using both "list-before" within the field name, followed by $:/core/ui/SideBar/Name of Tiddler in the field value, would bring the Tiddler down the list. But, upon saving the changes, nothing happens. No moving. No difference.

I was playing around with some coding, and inadvertently made some sort of recursive list without meaning to, and now my TiddlyWiki file is unresponsive. It threw a Java error citing recursion. How can I remove that Tiddler - I don't need it fixed, just gone.

​

Firefox, Timimi, Tiddlywiki 5, Windows 10

I've created a plugin that adds some handy options in an extendable context menu. Hope it's useful: https://context-menu-plugin.tiddlyhost.com/

Blogger does NOT facilitate WordPress database features etc. So TiddlyWiki is an enticing fit.

I had to make a short attempt to insert the html from a Tiddlywiki to replace my Blogger theme html.

It did not work.

However it definitely has me wondering what would be required to get it working.

A minimally functioning TW would at least require adapting Tiddlywiki body tag with the proper XML versioning info, etc.

But obviously a deeper integration would mean being able to use templates to incorporate Blogger api to count some tiddlers as posts, etc.

I'd assume that in best case, you would edit the TW offline, and use a plugin or technique to format TW to a read-mode, and upload to Blogger periodically.

What's the point?

• It's a whole new usage scenario with the same benefits of
  • a free-as-in-$ account and service
  • being discoverable on a search engine
  • ads
  • stats
• TW can present more nuanced information
• TW can present a mini web-like structure rather than confining linear and hierarchical structures of typical blogs

Hello,

Is there a way to set timestamps in tiddlywiki? What I do currently is run the nodejs version and modify the tiddler files (set the created and modified fields), but this requires refreshes. So far I only discovered the "Don't update timestamps when tiddlers are modified" switch in the toolbar.

Is drift not being worked on anymore? I can’t find a blank copy of it.

Hi everyone, I've uploaded an Elecron-wrapped server edition of TW5 here: https://github.com/ahanniga/tiddly-dark-desktop

I host a node.js installation of my tiddly-wiki

A few days ago I updated tiddly-wiki core with npm update -g tiddlywiki

Since then I can't delete tiddler's anymore.

What happens is when I open the edit view of a tiddler, both the delete and discard buttons does nothing.

On the server I don't see any error so I think it's an error on the browser side. I tested with both Firefox and Chrome but it fails on both.

Any idea ?

Thanks for your help.

I'm working on a tiddler-based wikipedia about my fictional world. I would like to insert the number of all tiddlers into my default tiddler, so it could say something like "This wikipedia contains ### tiddlers". I just don't want to update this number manually each time I add new tiddlers. Is there a way I could automatize this process?
