My project is to use the terrific TiddlyScholar by Alberto Molina Pérez, and convert it to use it for architecture. Alberto has already made this tool for litterature, and philosophy.  I already tried to contact the author of this site but he hasn't been active in the community for a few years now. I'm showing what i've already done to the community in hope that some friendly tiddlywikiers will give me a hand with the stuff i'm stuck with.

Here's the website: Archi-Wiki
Tell me what you think and if you can help with anything in the list below, I would be immensley grateful.

First Concern:
In the menus underneath each tiddler, my aim is to show linked tiddlers. This is already the function of these tabs in tiddlyscholar but I wish to to so through the forms and without adding tags (since it works by taggig for now). I wish to be able to categorize these links through the form. For example: for an architect tiddler, I wish to see "mentor" and "students" categories (that already exist in my forms) appear in it's architects tab.

(tiddler definining the contents of these tabs: $:/plugins/amp/MagicTabs/macros/mt-tab-contents ; $:/plugins/amp/MagicTabs/tabs/architects )
(tiddler defining tags: $:/plugins/amp/MagicTabs/ViewTemplate/tags )

Main Concerns:

- Concerning  Tiddlers:
Photo and text should be side by side instead of having one over the other
- Concerning the search function in the sidebar:
Names poping up in the search should be underneath their pictures
(tiddler defining the parameters of the photos: $:/plugins/amp/MagicTabs/css/image/person )
- Concerning the ADD buttons from the sidebar:
Need to find a way to display them vertically in order to not have them on two lines
- Concerning the menus underneath each tiddler:
Show links in info panel rather than as tags.
- Concerning forms:
Show elements in a certain order instead of it being alphabetical
- Concerning plugins:
Add tiddlymap functionnality to better see links between tiddlers. (I have already added the plugin, just need to automate the creation to fit the system used in tiddlyscholar)



Minor Concerns:
- Hide the slash ("-") seperating birth and death dates if death date or both dates are left empty

(parameter tiddler : $:/plugins/amp/MagicTabs/ViewTemplate/subtitle )


If you have any suggestions, i'd love to hear them
