Hi all,

I want to introduce a new plugin/macro named: "jQSorter" [1], which I
designed for my daily use. It can take lists of tiddlers, and display
them as portlets. Use drag and drop for sorting and the small icons
for saving as a new tiddler.

The portlet has a header (tiddler title) and some content (slice or
section of a tiddler). The list can be sorted manually and saved as a
new tiddler automatically tagged: "story". Which can be used then to
make a presentation or to print it.

I also use it for generating "lessons". eg: Topic (story) is a column,
that contains different pieces of knowledge which are tiddlers. Since
the information section of a tiddler can be loaded into the portlet
you get a very good overview about the structure of a lesson. And it
can be easily changed and saved using grag and drop, not copy paste.
see [3]

At the moment there is the possibility to have up to 10 columns in a
row but no limit of rows.

Have a look and have fun.

regards Mario Pietsch
PS: Since the state of the plugin is near bata, the debug code is
still there but disabled.
PPS: Because this is my first use of jQuery it would be nice if some
geeks could make sugestions to make it better. Tanks!

That's quite brilliant Mario. I love how polished the UI is. I see in
it sprinkling's of ideas that I've tinkered with over the years -
which may be a coincidence - but it's very nice to see it all come
together so nicely.

Just FYI, an alternative approach to overwriting the PresentationIndex
tiddler each time you switch a presentation, is to use
http://svn.tiddlywiki.org/Trunk/contributors/SaqImtiaz/plugins/batchNavigationMacro.js.
It is a quick hack I admit but you can use it to set up multiple
presentations whose "index tiddlers" are using the same tag. (a-
pmStory in your case I believe). The plus side is you never need to
choose a presentation, opening up a tiddler that is part of it will
automatically display the navigation buttons. The negative is things
can get confusing if a tiddler is present in more than one
presentation. May not be thing for you but I figured you may find it
interesting.

Thanks for sharing! Cheers,
Saq

I like this line of code: >>invokeMacro
(place,'navigation',p,wikifier,tiddler);<<
Some days ago I thougt about "it must be possible to call an other
macro", thanks for this.

>(a-pmStory in your case I believe).
I changed it to "story" now, because it should be compatible to Eric
Shulmans "story-plugins". Sice I am also using breadcrumbs and story
saver to generate stories. It is less work to do now :)

That would be cool, but it needs some glue to stick on the storyline.

Looks funny. But gives me a good starting point.
At my "lectures" the last slide of the day is a recap, that can be
used the next day for starting. Thats why very often it is the same
tiddler. I have to go and find the glue.

It is.

Yes it could. But I'am not clear if I should do it.
Aren't ther other tools to do it?

Make some suggestions about what it should do, and why?

I have some questions / ideas in mind:
*add a grabber that gets tiddlers from the sidebar
*switch autoTagging on/off per column / per tiddler?
*changing column keeps the tag or delete it?

regards Mario

I have started a new post, with an introduction of 2 new macros, that
will fit to jQsorter.
