Looking for plugin/macro--Have tiddler automatically list all tiddlers linking to it.

[yalb...@gmail.com]

Well, my subject basically shows what I'm looking for. Put simply, I
want a plugin I can install, and/or a simple macro I can place down,
which causes the tiddler in question to give me an automatically
updating list of all the pages which link to it.

So for instance, if I have five pages in an address-book-tiddlywiki,
and the first four all link to, say...The name of a city these people
are in, I'd like to have a macro I can put in that causes those four
pages to automatically get listed on the city page.

Does that make sense? Should I just go with tags for this, or is there
a way to make it as efficient as I desire?

Also, a way to automatically make any word which already has a page
automatically get linkified.

This does what you want:
http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#ShowReferences
(requires InlineJavascriptPlugin)

If the tiddler title is a WikiWord, it will automatically be linked.
Otherwise, you have to use [[...]] surrounding the text to explicitly
make it a link. There is also AutoWeavePlugin (see http://weave.tiddlyspot.com),
but I haven't used it myself, so I can't say how well it works...

Thanks, dude. :) It works like a charm.

Though, assuming you're the actual owner of TiddlyTools, is there any
way you could create a basic page to get to the same pages? All the
cool effects on the thing are cool, but they also slow down one of my
browsers and crash another, so they might not be the best things to
have stuck on.

yup. owner and author... except for a handful of 3rd-party plugins,
everything in that document was written by me...

Which browsers, on what platform(s)? I'm especially concerned about
any that are crashing when loading TiddlyTools!

As far as slow downs are concerned:

The animations are asynchronously driven by setTimeout() processing,
and will omit animation 'ticks' as needed to ensure that the effect is
completed at the end of the specified duration, regardless of the
speed of your system or browser.

While this shouldn't slow down your browser too much, there ARE a lot
of simultaneous animation timers running during the TiddlyTools
opening sequence, so it is possible that the animations could
overwhelm *some* browser/platform combinations. Of course, the
overall speed of your CPU will have a great deal to do with it. In
addition, older browsers, such as IE6 and FF1.x are *much* slower in
handling the animations.

To address this, you can disable the animations effects to eliminate
the processing overhead entirely. On TiddlyTools, this option is set
by a checkbox located in the right sidebar, under "options>display".
(click the < in the upper right to open the sidebar)

It is also available as a "TiddlyWiklet" -- a small onclick/
bookmarklet link that toggles animations on/off with a single click.
To add the TiddlyWikilet to your browser's toolbar, go to:
http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#InstantBookmarklets
and then drag the "toggle animation effects" link directly to your
browser's toolbar.

The newly created toolbar button can then be used to toggle animation
effects on ANY TiddlyWiki document (including TiddlyTools, of course)
Also, once created, you can then copy/paste the generated
TiddlyWikilet URI to add it to your other browsers without having to
revisit TiddlyTools to do so.

AutoWeavePlugin works pretty well. Only don't use it on tiddlers with
macros, or for example NestedSliders, because it adds
[[...]] also in them and thereby they are not working anymore.

It was Safari on OSX that crashed. Version 2.0.4, to be precise. Hope
that helps.

I've tested with Safari v3.0.4 on OSX 10.4.11 running on an older
PowerPC MacBook at 1.67Ghz.... and it doesn't crash... in fact, it
gets pretty smooth performance.

hmm...

Well, I'm running on an intel here. Admittedly, it could just be that
my Safari is an old version. I'll poke around a bit and see if I can't
fix the issue on my end.
