Hello,

Do you know if there is a plugin to create a lots of tiddlers by
importing the data from a text file ?

Regards.

Didier,

If you head over to TiddlyTools.com, you will find Eric has a pluging that makes tiddlers from CSV files

I've played with adding large chunks of text by making CSV files from them in excel.
In the end i found it easier to do it by hand. copy the whole lot into a tiddler, then copy and paste from the master into small tiddler chunks

I've used a combination of Eric's FileDrop and SplitTiddler plugins.

If you have a userspace at tiddlyspace.com, you can include
createtiddlersfromcsv

http://createtiddlersfromcsv.tiddlyspace.com/

Mario (pmario) has been so kind to make it work on TiddlySpace

Hi Måns

I saw how pmario modded createtiddlersfromcsv.
That post started out with a question about TiddlerTweakerPlugin and I would like to use that on tiddlyspace to make bulk changes to tags. Do you know how to mod TiddlerTweakerPlugin to make it work with tiddlyspace? Or does pmario? Or perhaps Eric S. the author of the plugin?

Hi Daniel
TiddlerTweaker *does* work with TiddlySpace already.
Tweaker works on files already created so there's no need for any
changes...
All you have to do is to remember to click "save changes".

I've added the <<saveChanges>> to the TiddlyTweaker shadowtiddler - it
helps me remember to save changes when I'm done editing tags via
TiddlyTweaker.

Hi Daniel,
I did create 2 plugins lately [1], that may be of interest. The
strategie to select tiddlers is quite different to TweakTiddler.

There are 3 new toolbar commands, that need to be included into
ToolbarCommands tiddler (see docu)

tagOthers / untagOthers
If you click "tagOthers" button, all other actually viewed tiddlers,
will be tagged with "this" tiddler title. Where "this" is the tiddler
that contains the button. "untagOthers" is the "undo".

tagWithStory
Tags a tiddler with the titles of all other viewed tiddlers, which is
quite handy, if one tiddler needs several titles at once.
