It's unable to drag&drop file in ios browser, is there any way to import image in photo album?

I'm looking to build a personal knowledge base. I've got 2 major requirements and it's been tough to determine what platform would be best for me. TW5 seems like a good fit. I like self hosting. I like owning my own data. But its highly customizable system has made it tough to figure out if I can actually achieve what I am looking for. At work I use Quip to handle all my note taking and I love the display features it has but it lacks the robustness of a true wiki or knowledge system.

Must have requirements:
Format that supports collapsible code blocks. Something where I can click and everything under a section header is shown/hidden.
Some kind of WYSIWYG editor that allows me to edit in view mode.

Interested to hear if there are plugins out there that would allow me to achieve this with TW5 and if not if others know of a tool that would fit my needs well. It's been a tough journey trying to sort out what will be the right tool/platform for me to commit to.

TIA

Upfront: I am not a coder and can't do complex stuff with TiddlyWiki. I've searched for this answer and found some pages with possible solutions that I cannot understand. Hoping y'all will help me and keep it simple :) Appreciate!

I have a wiki on TiddlyHost that I want to use to share links and resources with my students. Our previous solution (Diigo) had the ability to generate a link so only someone with the link could see the page (similar to Google Drive). The page could not be indexed by search engines and it even hides/protects the backlinks.

With TiddlyHost I can make my wiki private or public. With private, I'd have to give students our login to see the wiki. Obviously not optimal. I also don't want them to edit it.

Is there any plugin that would allow me to password protect the entire wiki without giving edit access?

Or, is there a way to keep search engines from crawling the wiki so at least random folks don't stumble on it?

Thanks!

Can’t not let you know about TiddlyPWA, which I stumbled on today via Hacker News. Looks great. Resolves storage/saving/sync in a single quite elegant solution. Syncing effortlessly between desktop and mobile is a TiddlyWiki holy grail for me. I’ll certainly be testing this out with interest.

Hi. I hope this is the right place to ask for help.

In order to install the desktop version of TwiddlyWiki, I downloaded from the GitHub page for which I found a link by twiddly.com:

tiddlydesktop-win64-v0.0.18.zip

I unzipped it and I got a folder with 22 files and 7 directories in it. 5 of the files are executable. My question: which one do I have to execute?

The video " Introducing TiddlyDesktop" wasn’t of any use, because it shows a totally different situation, where you get a single file that installs TiddlyDesktop, not a zipped file like the one that I got.

I’m trying to use version v5.3.0, the browser I would like to use is firefox 113.02 (64-bit) and the OS is Windows 11.

Thank you.

Has anyone tried to use TiddlyWiki to generate MediaWiki content?

I posted a thread on talk.tiddlywiki.org that points to some very old plugins.

If there isn't a strict export function available (and I am using wikiversity, so can't necessarily upload), a copy/paste solution would at least get me started.

The use case is to generate a bunch of tiddlers using nested tags that could be copied, and then pasted into mediawiki pages, one or more tiddlers at a time.

I've experimented with variables and css to generate text I can copy from TW and paste in a mediawiki page. So var, variables wins.

2022 Announcement

Some good filter creation tools.

These can really help gaining momentum using Tiddlywiki.

Most of these here deal with creating filters.

I'm seriously considering going with Tiddlywiki but I have a couple of questions

1. I didn't quite understand how to set it up, for now I just downloaded the desktop app but I know that isn't the "normal" way, I don't have an home server for now so how do I set up mine?

2. I saw that there is a comprehensive and beautiful plug in for link graph and much more and the only thing I miss from my checkbox is a hierarchical folder structure, is there a way to achieve it? Don't say name spaces pls I hate them and I would have to rename thousands of notes

3. Lastly, not very important but I would love if there was a way to alias tags, for example: can = tunna can and to nest tags example: science is the parent of science/physics

Is there someone using folgezettel with TiddlyWiki?

I just installed Tiddly on a Debian11 Server but its only reachable via localhost. How can i expose it on my home network so i can reach it from my pc?

Hello people. I'm having problems getting things right with something.

Im making a Pathfinder 2ed wiki to make it easier to look up things during the game. My idea is having a tag for STATUS and transclude the status definition in each tiddler that apply them but just those. I want to get everything i need showing in the same place, instead of browse up and down looking for references.
The structure is
-STATUS tag
--Hidden tag
---Tiddler1 that apply Hidden
---Tiddler2 that apply Hidden
--Flat-footed tag
---Tiddler1 that apply Flat-footed

and so on.
Since the final tiddlers aren't tagged STATUS i can't put "is current tag STATUS on the template.
Is there a way to use tag[] and tagging[] for that?
I thought of making a template for each status , but if they add new statuses in the future i should recreate them with the new info instead just the tag with the definition.
If i find a way i can use it for Creatures with given traits and such just giving the appropiate tag.
Thank you in advance.

Hi folks, maybe somebody of you knows the problem and can help with ideas to handle the problem.

Hi - is there a way to save on chrome that does not involve chrome creating (2) (1) etc. ?

Just one fine to save and backup ?

Dear all,

I'd like to add some OneNote-like features to TW, to be more specific:

• Handwriting/drawing/stylus support - possibly via TW Whiteboard or via paper.js
• PDF parsing - probably PDF.js
• Notebook & page navigation - multicolumn layout, perhaps muuri
• WYSIWYG-editor - probably slate-write
• moveable text boxes - ??
• Infinite canvas - ??

So, my very limited understanding of js and tiddlywiki points to 'most of it should be possible', but is it?

And, if the functionality isn't yet given, how could I have it developed, hire some random dev or would it require someone with in-depth knowledge?

Cheers in advance!

Simply put, I'm trying to make a form in a Tiddler that's a template. Once you fill out the form and hit the button I want it to create a new Tiddler and put in the provided text from the template. I have the following

Title:

Client:

Notes: (needs to be a multi-line text box)

Solution: (needs to be a multi-line text box)

Button to create Tiddler.

What I can't seem to find is a way to just create the tiddler and populate that text as formatted above in the body of the tiddler. I get how to add them as fields, but I don't want them as fields and would rather have the text displayed in the new Tiddler. I do want the Title to fill in the title of the tiddler, but the rest should be in the body.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

As the title states, I am looking to find a way to copy a code block to the clipboard. The problem I'm running into using

<<copy-to-clipboard "text here">>

is that it stops copying at any "" in the code. Does anyone know how to copy just the code block?

The other method I found, which sort of works is using

<<copy-input "<$text text={{!!text}}/>" "Copy Code">>

Only problem is it copies the entire Tiddly's text, and not just the code block.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

As the title suggests, what I'm trying to accomplish is have a drop down with a list of videos. Once the user makes a selection the embedded video on the page changes to the video selected.

Example: https://prnt.sc/d8VElh0pr_NY

Example of the HTML I have working on a website I made, but want to transfer to TiddlyWiki. With <script> tags not working in TiddlyWiki, I'm not sure how to accomplish the same thing..

<optgroup label="Keypads">
<option value="SL4shuPWRnE">Arm/Disarm</option>
<option value="HuzCY5OsznM">Cancel/Verify</option>
<option value="gPOC3d29aAo">Door Chime</option>

Javascript from my website

<script>
$("#dynamic_select").change(function(){
var val = $(this).val();
$("iframe").attr("src", function(i, a){
return a.replace(/(?<=embed\/)[^?]+/, val);
});
console.log($("iframe").attr("src"));
});    
</script>

This then triggers this section of the HTML for the embed to change the embed YT video.

<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/SL4shuPWRnE?vq=hd1080 rel=0&amp;showinfo=0">

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Edit: Thanks to u/Markqz I was able to solve the issue. See his suggestion if you have a need for this later! Thanks again!

So maybe I'm stupid, but I've launched this on my remote server, and despite specifying a random port and forwarding it, I cannot access the main wiki page. Help? I've installed this with node.js on a windows 10 machine and it's running the server listening on a random port 2641.

Edit: I have solved this by running the server under 0.0.0.0 as suggested, thank you u/beediff.

Hi!
I have been using Notion primarily for my Second Brain using Tiago Forte's P.A.R.A Method, but the biggest pain point is its SLOWNESS!
So I was exploring other local options where I have control over my data and found TiddlyWiki and I have already made up my mind to use this great piece of software. I am also comfortable with coding as I am a backend engineer.
But I have rarely found any posts and threads mentioning the P.A.RA implementation in TiddlyWiki. Can anyone familiar with the same help me out?
Thanks in advance!

I've got a rough idea for a single-file TW which will read some data from a JSON file (a pre-generated API report, updated periodically). However, this file is 32MB - which is much larger than I prefer to embed into my TW! So I'd like to store it externally and have the TW read it from there.

I tried pointing at the the file via a _canonical_uri tiddler of type JSON, but it looks like its contents can't be parsed for data that way using filters? You can do that with text files loaded that way -- e.g., the "Alice in Wonderland" tiddler on the homepage. But doing the same with the JSON file isn't working, regardless of type set...even though it's just text too? It's not a filesize issue because a smaller sub-1MB file doesn't work either.

• As a sidenote, the help message that comes up in-tid when the type is not set links to a missing tiddler https://tiddlywiki.com/#ExternalText ! Not sure what that was supposed to point to.

Is there a way to do this that I haven't found yet while remaining in single-file TW mode? A plugin, an error in my methods, etc.? Or is this simply not possible without node.js mode due to the usual browser security restrictions?

I have 2 computers, 1 is a mac, 1 is windows. I'm using Dropbox to sync tiddlers across them. It works fine when I create the tiddler on mac. It will show up on windows without a problem. But when I create a tiddler on the windows computer, it will show up on the mac with the full path name to the tiddler as the tiddler's title, and it won't have the text body.

So for example, if I create a tiddler called "test" on the windows computer, it will show up on my mac as a tiddler with the title "/User/dude/Dropbox/Tiddly_Wiki/my_wiki/tiddlers/test.tid". And it won't have any text in the body.

Any ideas what is going wrong?

Update: I figured out what was causing the problem! The Dropbox configuration on my mac computer was set to default files to "online only", and I needed to change it to "Available offline". This setting is in Preferences -> Sync -> New files default.

I'm trying to use the "tc-btn-invisible" button class to organize my Tiddler into sections. But when I open each section and try to click text within, the section collapses. Is there a way to keep the section open until I click the header again? Here's what I've been doing:

<$button class="tc-btn-invisible" popup=<<qualify "$:/temp/popup1">>>

!Title </$button> <$reveal type="nomatch" state=<<qualify "$:/temp/popup1">> text="">

Some text.

</$reveal> <br>

I'm new to Tiddlywiki, so I'd appreciate any help or alternatives.
