problems with macros/plugins

[Orion]

Hi, am completely new to Tiddlywiki but found it an excellent way to
update a website in an easy and structured way so I have set it up at
www.orionweb.info

However, I can't get some macros/plugins to work. EmailLink is one as
can be easily seen, another one is "table of contents". I am lost as to
what I am doing wrong or leaving out.

Any help appreciated!

Welcome aboard.
 

I think you want to use the tag "systemConfig" for your plugins.  Not "SystemConfig" -- don't use an initial capital S.

 

Cheers

Hi Daniel,
I tried that but no success whatsoever. Am uploading the new version though to see that it really stays "nonworking".

After uploading and emptying of browser cache "voila!" it works.
thanks a lot Daniel!

Cool.. I was just loading up the MonkeyPirate site to find out what auto pre formatting was supposed to do :)  One of these days I'll buy that mug with the MonkeyPirate logo.  And (if I may presume to speak on behalf of Jeremy and the TiddlyWiki community) thank *you* for choosing TiddlyWiki.

 

Can I suggest you take the line break out of your SiteTitle?  If it's all on one line like this:

..then the text will follow the image nicely.  I always thought "Orion" would be a cool name for an IT company.  Very recognisable constellation.

 

 

Cheers

Thanks for the tip, will do! Myself I have no clue as to what the auto
pre formatting script does... yet. Now I have a new problem; I get an
error message re. Table of Contents when I load the site or make a
Search... so help again please!

the name is derived from my Scandinavian name Orjan (or Örjan if you
can read umlauts) that everyone here pronounced "sort of" Orion. Then
had a designing friend to do the logo.

Cheers,
Orion

AutoPreFormatting is a 'retired' plugin. You don't really need it
anymore. It's purpose was to make formatting of plugin code easier by
permitting use of {{{ and }}} within systemConfig (i.e.,
code-containing) tiddlers without adversely affecting the javascript
code they contain.

However, additions to the TW core formatting rules now provide built-in
parsing sequences: //{{{ and //}}}, that can be used format javascript
code for display while still being treated as simple comments by the
javascript interpreter

You need to get a newer version of TableOfContentsPlugin. The version
you are using is very out-of-date, and contains code that is obsolete
(specifically, the 'notification' mechanism was completely changed in
1.2.33, which is why the references to 'blanketNotification' create
errors)

Actually AutoPreformatting predated the //{{{ wikifier additions. It was a plugin that would do the following for tiddlers tagged with stylesheet, css, systemConfig or others (configurable).

 

        var realText = store.getTiddlerText(title);
        var tweakedText = "{{{\n" + realText + "\n}}}\n";
        tiddler.text = tweakedText;
        createTiddlerViewer_orig_mptw_autopre(title,highlightText,highlightCaseSensitive);
        tiddler.text = realText;
 

It is retired because now because you can use the new /*{{{*/ and //{{{ and it's better to have embedded comments that are wikified.

 

In the more general case, it's still a useful concept: different rendering of a tiddler based on it's tags (or even it's name), and perhaps can be done with tag-based template selection in future.

Thanks Eric (and others) for assistance and explanations! Makes me feel I did the right choice when moving to TW for the site!
My aim will be very much to keep the file small in size given that I am myself (and many of my business contacts) in areas where bandwidth is a huge problem.

I borrowed the StyleSheet from TiddlyWikiTips btw and it looks a bit different in IE than in FF for some reason. Any ideas anyone?

Cheers,
Orion

 The problem come from IE putting the styles in the body rather than the head element. This is fixed in 2.0 Beta.

Elise, if you're reading this thread, your site suffers from this pretty badly too.

To back port the fix into your current TW see here: http://groups.googlegroups.com/group/TiddlyWikiDev/browse_thread/thread/dc8ca0885012ba4a/5813fb519e69efd9#5813fb519e69efd9

Clint,
thanx for that. I am too new to this and too busy with other stuff at the moment to want to start using a beta so I think I will either just wait it out or try your fix if I can figure out how to get it done.

Cheers,
Orion

Thanks, Clint!

I've added this fix to my SystemTweaks plugin (for 1.2.39). Get it
here:
http://www.elsdesign.com/tiddlywiki/#SystemTweaks

Jeremy: I'd love to all (or most) of these system tweaks rolled into
the core code so I can retire the plugin...

[O. Sinclair]

Thanks Eric, that sorted the problem with IE for sure! Opera however now looks like crap? Sidebars covering half the Titlebar!! Until I close Opera and then open again, it then loads from cache and looks fine with the exception that it does not load the "get firefox"-button. Oh well I think that is a minor bug and very likely to be in Opera 8 rather than TW.

Support your suggestion!.

Yup, they've been on my list for a while (you've added more!), and
will try to get them into 2.0.

Cheers
