Announcing TiddlyWiki 5.0.15-beta

[Jeremy Ruston]

I'm pleased to announce the release of TiddlyWiki 5.0.15-beta:

http://tiddlywiki.com

Upgrade your existing wikis at http://tiddlywiki.com/upgrade.html - taking care to keep a backup, of course.

* Added the ability to disable plugins

* Added a banner to the edit template of tiddlywiki.com with instructions for submitting documentation improvements via github

* Fixed a layout problem when building on Windows

* Introduced a new refresh button and reverted home button behaviour

As usual, there's many more smaller changes - see http://tiddlywiki.com/#ReleaseHistory for details.

Thanks to everyone for the feedback, and especially @xcazin and @BramChen for their work on the French and Chinese translations.

Best wishes

Jeremy

Hi Jeremy,

Thanks for the upgrade to 5.0.15-beta.
One feature was already very useful: disabling plugins.
After upgrading my 5.0.14 version of TW5 tristate Sidebar [1] the tristate functionality did not work. I thought I had to repack the plugin, but tried to disable (+ save/reload) it first. And yes after enabling (+ save/reload) it did work again. So no repacking needed.

One question (has nothing to do with the upgrade):
I added a 'readme' file to my plugin (it shows up as shadow tiddler) and thought the information should show up when clicking the '>' button next to the plugin. But it only shows 'No information provided'.
Did I miss something?

Cheers,

Ton

Hey Ton,

Glad you started to pack your customizations  into plugins. This is definitively good for several reasons:

You can easily install them.

You can easily remove them.

It is very elegant and nice.

[Ton Gerner]

Hi Danielo,

You are right.

My Bluish theme is already a plugin (longtime ago "hacked" together). I have to make a nice plugin of it.
My readonly plugin was my first real plugin. It did work in TW5.0.13-beta, but now I have problems.Needs time to fix it.
My tristate toggle Sidebar plugin works with TW5.0.15-beta.
Other customizations will follow but first I have to upgrade all my guides to TW5.0.15-beta.

I make my plugins in the browser. I remember you did that in the past as well.

Cheers,

Ton

Hi Ton,

I am also interested in doing a plugin from TiddlyWiki for Scholars, but I thought Java script skills were needed. How do you did your plugins?

Regards,

Alberto

[Ton Gerner]

Hi Alberto,

My Javascript skills are non-existent. A long time ago I did some programming in Basic and lateron Turbo Pascal but I never learned Javascript.

A plugin is nothing more than a set of tiddlers packaged as a plugin.
I do it in a standalone TW according to 'How to create plugins in the browser' (search for it at http://tiddlywiki.com/).

You can also have a look at [1] and [2], the guides where I describe my 2 plugins.
Hope that helps.
If you have any questions, just ask.

Cheers,

Ton

Hello Alberto and Ton.

If you have no JS skills and use the browser to pack plugins you may find this useful:

[Ton Gerner]

Hi Danielo,

Thanks. I'll give it a try.

Hi Danielo,

Cool ! I'll try.

I've incorporated this release into the latest version of Tank:

    https://tank.peermore.com/tanks/docs/TiddlyWiki%20Five 

If you use it please let me know if there are problems by reporting an issue at https://github.com/cdent/tank/issues

Thanks.

[Danielo Rodríguez]

I just registered into your tank application.

Do you have plans to make it work with some offline apps or it will be 100% online?

As things currently stand, from a technology standpoint there's nothing stopping Tank from working with fully offline apps or with apps that are offline just some of the time. The HTTP API[1] in Tank is the TiddlyWeb API so can work well with anything that can do GET and PUT. CORS is supported so the usual problems with cross-domain situations aren't a problem.

Anyone who is registered with Tank can create new compositions[2]. These are a way of packaging up functionality (such as TW5) to work with a collection of tiddlers. The functionality can be pretty much anything. Existing functionality includes: tw5, twc, a bookmarking system and a journalling tool.

Hello Chris,

Good to know. How do you want to get the problem reports? Do you have any specific tank group?

There's a tiddlyweb group[1] and a github repo with issues for tank[2].
For something that is specifically a bug in tank, the github issues
is the way to go.

From tank itself, on the bottom of a lot pages is an "Issues" link
which goes to the github issues page.

If you open tiddlywiki.com on IOS or Android you will get a Javascript error.

At least on Chrome and Safari.

Regards-

[Matthew DeAbreu]

Just opened tiddlywiki.com in safari on my iPhone 4 running iOS 7.1.1 and in chrome 36.0.1985.135 on my Nexus 7 running stock android 4.4.4; it seems to load fine for me with no issues. Could you give some more details about what caused the errors?

[Danielo Rodríguez]

Yes, 

It was some kind of too many levels of transclusions. I can check today. I was on ios 6

[Jeremy Ruston]

I don't have an ios 6 device for testing but would be keen to fix the problem if we can. If anyone has access to a device and can report the exact error message that would be very useful,

Many thanks

Jeremy

Hello ton, on the plugin.info you have to add  "list": "readme"  as a value.

For example:

{

"title": "$:/plugins/danielo515/import-tools",

"description": "patch for more atomic imports",

"author": "DanieloRodrigez",

"version": "0.0.5",

"core-version": ">=5.0.14",

"source": "https://github.com/danielo515/import-tools",

"plugin-type": "plugin",

"list": "readme"

}

[Ton Gerner]

Hi Danielo,

Thanks for answering.
.
I asked the same question in the last hangout and Jeremy answered it.
If I remember correctly, it is not only the list field but also a plugin icon you have to add.

Cheers,

Ton

[Ton Gerner]

Hi Jeremy, Danielo,

I tested with:

• Nexus 7 Chrome on Android 4.4.4 No problem
• iPod with iOS 6 and Safari. Javascript error. RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded

Cheers,

Ton

[Jeremy Ruston]

Hi Ton

The plugin icon is optional; if not provided then a default icon is used.

Best wishes
