I am busy writing an article using tiddlywiki and I need to place a
todo in a tiddler, for instance "do a google search..."
Then when I have done a number of tiddlers this way, marking them here
and there with things still to apply/lookup etc. I need a list of all
the todo's(markings) in the various tiddlers with a link to the
tiddler from where the todo originates.

Is there a handy plugin for this or a combination of plugins with
which to achieve this?

Thanks in advance for any help. BTW I am using the NoteStorm tiddly
adaption

Hi Heller

You can write this in a tiddler
<<tiddler TopicsTemplate2>>
then you'll get all subtopics in a Tree for this tiddler.

Or for more elaborate use:

First create a new tiddler (call it TreeView)
Write this:
<<forEachTiddler where 'tiddler.tags.contains("$1")' write
'"[[$1]]<<tiddler TopicsTemplate1 with: [["+tiddler.title+"]]$))"'>>

Put this in your toDo-tiddler:
<<tiddler TreeView with: {{tiddler.title}}>> You'll get almost the
same result as first option: (<<tiddler TopicsTemplate2>>)

Defining more trees referring to other toDo-lists:
Using the first template (TreeView)
You can make a list of todo tiddlers and their children in one main
tiddler like this:
<<tiddler TreeView with: [[ToDo#1]]>>
<<tiddler TreeView with: [[ToDo#2]]>>
etc etc

Mans,

I don't quite get it...

Here is what I mean...

Tiddler1
blah blah blah TODO:Search...

Tiddler2
blahdieblah TODO:Insert... blah blah

Tiddler3
Yak yak yak TODO:Verify... yaketieyay

ToDoList
Search... Tiddler1
Insert... Tiddler2
Verify... Tiddler3

Sort of like entering reminders into your tiddlers as you go along and
then having all the reminders showing up in a list with reference to
the tiddler they are put in...

When you tag your tiddlers with Search, Insert or Verify - they will
show up in the ToDoList (you must refresh the tiddler though)

You don't have to do any of the things I've suggested as NoteStorm is
"born" with the TreeView in the MainMenu (Open it to see)

You can have it all directly in the MainMenu if you wish:

If you make a MasterTopic called ToDoList and a subTopic for each of
these actions: Search, Insert or Verify - then any tiddler tagged with
one of these will show beneath the TodoList [+] in the MainMenu.
The mainmenu is automatically refreshed, when you add subtopics to
either a MasterTopic or a MasterTopics subTopic

Hope this explains it better...
I will make an example - one moment please..

Here's an example of the ToDoList in the MainMenu :

Ps
In a moment there's also a ToDoList#2 with the former (more advanced
TreeView setup)

If you want a simple projectmanager and treeview "out of the box" -
and beautifully designed I will recommend Morris Grays
http://twt-treeview.tiddlyspot.com/

I've added Morris' ProjectManager to a strippeddown version of Daves
NoteStorm here:http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1064531/screendmp/empty/
NoteStormProject.html
And added Search, Verify and Insert to status options..

Please forget everything I wrote about writing a new template
"TreeView" in NoteStorm in earlier post ... I just remembered that I
*did* make it work in the MainMenu (supporting Dave Gifford) -
Therefore it's already there!

Just write <<tiddler TopicsTemplate1 with: [[tiddlertitle]]>>
and you'll get a nice tree anywhere in NoteStorm...

Sorry about all the fuzz - However Morris' ProjectManager works very
well in NoteStorm and is a very simple way to manage all kinds of
projects..

Please check it out: http://tinyurl.com/yhtdqlh

I will try to put the monkeytagging of status in a custom template for
projects and clean up the newproject tiddler template...

Mans,

Thanks very much for your efforts and I understand how you
are using tagglytagging and treeview to display and manage
the various items..

...but I was really looking for something much simpler and
have reverted to the ReminderMacro http://remindermacros.tiddlyspot.com/

So now when i am setting up an article and want to enter
a reminder to insert say an explanatory image, right there
where I want to insert the image i say
<<reminder day:1 title:"Insert a image here explaining how this
works">>

I then just create a tiddler called Reminders and put
<<showReminders>>
in it and it shows me all my reminders and provides a link to the
tiddler
for example where I need to insert that image. Once I have inserted
the
image I just remove the <<reminder......>>
