Sharing Drift

Drift is now updated to v0.3.0

v0.3.0 - 2020-07-16

Bugfix for lists display when using markdown format

Full change log and demo site https://akhater.github.io/drift/

Already running drift ?? make sure to update to the latest version 

--------------

Just wanted to share "Drift" a place to Collect Organize and Grow your ideas

It has many features but, most important for me, is the "backlinks" or "bidirectional links" 

Needless to say it is inspired by "TiddlyBlink" / "Stroll" just fitted to my own needs and liking 

A demo and more extensive documentation is available at 

https://akhater.github.io/drift/

Hope it will help someone

Hello Tony K,

Nice work. I did nearly exactly the same thing except I used the tabs macro. I like your method as well. With the tabs macro, I had to deal with the state tiddlers and the default tab, but solved that. Your method doesn't need to worry about that. I do like the keywords feature. I might have to think about how I could use that in my TW. Very interesting, indeed.

Damon

[Tony K]

Hello Damon

Thanks for the kind words

I'm totally new to this and I don't even know what tab macro are 😁

Do you share yours somewhere? If so I'd be interested in taking a look

[Petruschka]

Hello TonyK

Thanks for Sharing Drift here.

Some questions:

* Don't we already had backlinks?

* Are you planning to make it a plugin?

* Could you may explain a bit what is so extraordinary for you to have this kind of feature? I am really interested what possibilities are in here that I can't see and that we already have two projects (TiddlyBlink and yours) around this functionality. 

Thanks in advance!

Best wishes

[Tony K]

Hey Petruschk

* Off course we already have backlinks, actually all the featured are already there all I did is organizing them in tabs for ease of access and visibility

* Yes I am planning to package the "inbound links" as a package. actually it is almost done but I wanted to get Drift out there before the weekend that's all

* For me it is the flow of ideas. I've been using "TheBrain" free version for some time and I am not ready to pay for the premium version, and now here comes https://roamresearch.com/ that will also be expensive for me. That's what brought me to TiddlyWiki I need a place to be able to internlink ideas easily (like a Wiki [[Idea1]]) and then, when I review this idea1 I can easily find where i referred to it etc... 

Also I've added some other small touches in Drift (listed in the features list)

For now it works for me but I totally understand it might not for everyone

all the best 

[Petruschka]

Great explanation! Thank you very much for writing me back. I will definitive try it out for myself because of your answer. Starred!

[Tony K]

Glad to help sir

I'd appreciate some feedback when/if you try it

[David Gifford]

Hey TonyK, nice adaptation!

Added it to the toolmap under the linking section and the section on popups.

Hey Tony,

The tabs macro is built into Tiddlywiki so I just used it as is. I just took advantage of it. I borrowed a few things from HCHaase and created some other tiddlers to be used in the tabs macro. Their function is similar to what you've accomplished, just in a different fashion. I don't have a github site or anything so I've just copied the code below. The first snippet is the main tiddler with the tabs macro and tagged ViewTemplate. The other code snippets are each of the tiddlers used in the tab macro.

Here's the main tiddler:

<$list filter="[all[current]tag[Railroads]]" variable="dummy">

<div style="font-size: 0.9em;">

  <<tabs "[[Railroad Footnotes]] [[Railroad Predecessors]] [[Railroad Successors]] [[Railroad Cross-references]] [[Railroad Status Checkboxes]]" "Railroad Footnotes" "$:/state/rrfootertab" "footertabs">>
</div>

</$list>

The Railroad Footnotes tiddler simply contains <<showfnotes>> as I use the RefNotes plugin from Mohammad.

Here is the Railroad Predecessors tiddler:

<!-- below is a modified version of HC Haase TOC generic with his reveal widget replaced with a details widget -->


<!-- tags heading count and toc-->
<$list filter='[tag<currentTiddler>limit[1]]'  variable=null>
<$count filter='[tag<currentTiddler>]'/> Predecessors of: ''<<currentTiddler>>''
<br>
</$list>
<$macrocall $name="toc-selective-expandable" tag=<<currentTiddler>> sort="sort[title]" />

Here is the Railroad Successors tiddler:

<!-- use kin filter to find succession of tags -->
<$list filter='[all[current]title<currentTiddler>kin:tags:from[]!is[system]!title[Railroads]!title<currentTiddler>limit[1]]' variable=null>
Successors to ''<<currentTiddler>>'':
<br>
</$list>
<ul>
  <$list filter="[title<currentTiddler>kin:tags:from[]!is[system]!title[Railroads]!title<currentTiddler>]"> ->
    <$link><$view field="title"/>
    </$link>
  </$list>
</ul>

Railroad Cross-References:

<!-- backlinks heading count and toc-->
<$list filter='[all[current]backlinks[]limit[1]]' variable=null>
<$count filter='[all[current]backlinks[]]'/> Link(s) to ''<<currentTiddler>>''
<br>
</$list>
<ul>
<$list filter="[!is[system]all[current]backlinks[]!tag[hide]!tag[outlines]sort[title]] -[is[current]]">

thank you so much, FYI you are the one who drove me to TW5 in the first place when I was looking for a roam alternative so big thanks for that 

in fact today's update of Drift is "for you" meaning I build it with you in mind since I noticed you are a "light palette" user where I am more on the dark side...

How do I update the theme?

[Tony K]

unfortunately it is not a theme. it is a whole "package" so the only way to update it (for now) is to start fresh and import the older one in it and selecting only the non-system tiddlers

if you need help with that let me know

[Martin Piron]

Excuse my "noobiness", but what is the recommended way to update ?

I guess the zip file "Drift_u_v0.0.10-v0.0.15.zip" is the way to go, importing its content in an existing v0.10 Drift ?

[Tony K]

Hello Martin

depends on which version you are now 

if you are on v0.0.10 yes this is the only file you need

if you are on earlier version you need first to grab the cumulative update and then update from v0.0.10 to 0.015 using Drift_u_v0.0.10-v0.0.15.zip

it is really hard to maintain CU packages in the case of drift, if i figure out a way I will do it 

thank you for trying it 

[Saq Imtiaz]

Hi Tony,

I suggest you package everything that isn't a separate plugin, into a plugin called Drift.

This will allow users to upgrade by just updating the plugins, and I suspect will make your life much easier in terms of maintenance.

Regards,

Saq

[Tony K]

Thank you Saq

I did think about it briefly but the main issue is that this plugin can only be applied on the base of Drift no? does it make sense?

will give it a try and see how far i can go with it 

By the way, I remember you had a 2 columns plug-in am I right? how easy/hard do you think it would be to add it to Drift?

[Saq Imtiaz]

Basically Drift should be an empty TiddlyWiki with a combination of plugins added:

- 3rd party plugins and themes

- your own plugins like cross links

- every other tiddler you need for Drift, packaged into a "Drift" plugin.
an empty Drift file should contain no other tiddler.

Users can then update to the latest version by just dragging and dropping in the latest plugins. No need for any base copy etc.

In the long run it would also be great if you can separate everything purely visual and theme related from the functionality, but I also realize that can get very complicated and may not be easily doable.

The plugin for 2 stories that Stroll uses, assumes the standard page template and theme/CSS for TiddlyWiki and works around that. The problem is that the current TiddlyWiki page template layout is not very flexible. So you can easily add that plugin to Drift, but you will need to customize the CSS extensively and it is complex to wrap your head around at first, since its both responsive and uses macros to account for single story / dual story / no sidebar and sidebar combinations. In essence with some work, you could have that plugin in Drift, with an additional stylesheet to make the CSS work for your layout.

Regards,

Saq

[Tony K]

re 2 columns: wow that sound way out of my league :(

2 things I've never understood CSS and Regex 

thanks for the detailed response

[Julio Peña]

Hello Tony K and all,

@ Tony K: I must say that I really like how your work is progressing with Drift.

Yes, as Saq said, I ran a little experiment the lazy way; just 

threw one tiddlywiki into another (mixing Stroll and Drift) to 

see how the best of both worlds would look like:

When you first open it looks normal:

When on clicks on the redirect(?) button...look below:

But then when you clock on one of the boxes:

Ouch...where did the button go?...see above.

All the best,

Julio

[Saq Imtiaz]

@TonyK If you remind me in 2-3 weeks I may be able to help you with the CSS for integrating 2 stories. 

[Tony K]

if it is not too much to ask I sure will. I have more than enough to keep me busy a couple of weeks

much obliged thank you 

[Mohit Patel]

This looks great Tony. How do I move hundreds of Tiddlers (from my existing TW5 file) to drift?

[Tony K]

Hello Mohit

you can simply drag and drop you current index.html over the browser in which you have drift open and unselect all system tiddlers

but please do take a backup before

Hello, I've pulled in the crosslinks plugin to Stroll as I've already been testing out Stroll, but whenever I try to go to the freelinks tab when there are freelinks available, my tiddlywiki is freezing up and crashes. Do you know what I might need to do to try and solve this? I really liked the idea of freelinks so was excited to try :(

I'm not sure what information would help (sorry, don't know coding at all yet), I'm just using windows 10, google chrome, and pulled your plugins for daily journal and crosslinks into Stroll.

Thank you for your help!

Sarah 

[Tony K]

Hello Sooyoung

Stroll AFAIK has it's own backlink system included in it and it might be why you are having this issue. 

I am sorry but I have not tried TWCrossLinks over Stroll so I am not sure how to help..

Maybe you can try TWCrossLinks on a blank version of TW5 and/or simply download the latest version of Drift and test and let me know if you still face the problem? I would be intrested to know if there is something freezing it up (maybe the size of your TW5) or simply an incompatibility between Stroll and TWCrossLinks

[Sooyoung Cho]

I'm also having trouble making only one of the backlinks show up in stroll, and I can't find a 'plugin' for how stroll is showing its backlinks.

My tiddlers now show both the plugin from Drift, as well as how Stroll shows backlinks, below the horizontal line. How could I disable Stroll's backlinks?

[Sooyoung Cho]

Thanks for such a quick reply! I tried importing it into the intro tiddlywiki page, and even with 50 freelinks, it does work there, so I guess it's not fully compatible with Stroll :(

[Birthe C]

It is not a plugin, it is a couple of tiddlers, Look for tiddlers called something giffmex and ViewTemplate and be careful.

Start with a backup of your TW. Mind you, I have not tried it.

[Tony K]

Since you are using my plugins why not using drift instead of stroll ?

I am really sorry but I don't know how to help since I never tried my plugins on top of stroll

however, if you want, you can email me a copy of your TW and I can give it a try 

[Sooyoung Cho]

I did consider trying Drift and importing stuff from my Stroll instead, but unfortunately I couldn't get some of the features I like from Stroll to work on Drift (e.g. Story view with 2 columns for tiddlers). 

Thanks for offering to give it a try! For now I'll stick with the default features in Stroll for now as I learn my ways around TW some more and maybe some basic coding to help me understand all of this better!

[Tony K]

yep I hear you, the 2 columns view in Strolll is, indeed, a winner :) too bad it is above my skill level

sorry again for not being able to help on this one

[Saq Imtiaz]

@Sooyoung

Try the following.

Make a backup.

In Stroll delete the following tiddlers:

$:/.giffmex/ViewTemplate/refscontext
$:/.giffmex/ViewTemplate/refshidden
$:/.giffmex/ViewTemplate/refslinks
$:/.giffmex/ViewTemplate/refstranscludeclean
$:/.giffmex/ViewTemplate/refstranscludecollapse
$:/.giffmex/sidebar/tabs/strollcontrols

This code should create a button that deletes these tiddlers for you.

<$button>delete references<$action-deletetiddler $filter="$:/.giffmex/ViewTemplate/refscontext $:/.giffmex/ViewTemplate/refshidden $:/.giffmex/ViewTemplate/refslinks $:/.giffmex/ViewTemplate/refstranscludeclean $:/.giffmex/ViewTemplate/refstranscludecollapse $:/.giffmex/sidebar/tabs/strollcontrols"/></$button>

Then install Tony's plugin.

Cross your fingers and reload. :)
Hope this helps,

Saq

[Sooyoung Cho]

not at all, thank you for trying to help!

[Sooyoung Cho]

Thank you, that definitely helped so that it just shows the crosslinks plugin!

Unfortunately there still seems to be compatibility issues as when there are freelinks available for a tiddler, it will crash when I try to go to it; no issue with clicking on the freelinks tab when there aren't any freelinks available. If you have any idea as to what might help with this, I'd really appreciate it!

But thank you even with your help to solve the issue with the double backlinks! That was great!

[Saq Imtiaz]

@Sooyoung I don't think I can help more without looking at your file. If there is no sensitive data in it, feel free to reply to me privately and send me the file.

Otherwise, try making a copy of your TW and in the copy, delete everything with the tag stroll, and add the cross links plugin, to make sure it works with your data without Stroll. That way we can know for sure that the issue is incompatibility with stroll.

<$button>delete stroll<$action-deletetiddler $filter="[tag[stroll]]"/></$button>

[Saq Imtiaz]

@Tony K:

I had a chance to look at Sooyoung's file. Even after removing everything related to stroll, the freelinks tab still freezes the browser but only on certain tiddlers. 

@Sooyoung: Would it be OK if I send your modified file to Tony so he can try to figure out where the problem arises?

[David Gifford]

Tony,

No need to say that 2 columns are above your skill level. They are just Saq's Stories plugin. You can just import it from Stroll. https://giffmex.org/stroll/stroll.html#%24%3A%2Fplugins%2Fsq%2FStories.

Enjoy.

[Sooyoung Cho]

yes of course!

Hey Tony,

started using Drift a week ago and I am loving it. I'm on v0.0.16 still, what's the best way to upgrade? Just importing the plugins or downloading an empty and then importing my notes?

[Tony K]

Hello selfire

if you already running v0.0.16 then all you need to do it

• Go to TWCrossLinks page and drag/drop to update your plugin
• Go to Daily Notes page and drag/drop to update your plugin
• Go to Changelog page drag drop the 2 macros [Spoiler & cross-list-draggable] (if you want them)
• Go to control pannel -> Appearance -> Mono Tweaks -> and add the Daily Notes button to the top bar

Cheers

[selfire]

Thanks, all updated now!

Another question: I have been trying to use the relink feature to update the title of a tiddler that is being linked to. That created a new Tiddler with the renamed name but doesn't change the original link. Any idea on what might cause the issue?

[Tony K]

when you try to rename it, if it cannot it shld show you a "warning" telling you that it won't be rename in the following tiddlers 

do you have this?

There is a more advanced relink plugin at https://github.com/flibbles/tw5-relink but I didn't add it to Drift (yet?) you might want to take a look at it, I guess it will solve your issue

[selfire]

I looked a bit closer and indeed a prompt shows up. Before switching to Drift I used Blink and got very used to the automatic re-name. I will have a look at that plugin, thank you for sharing. I think including the advanced relinking might be a helpful functionality to have included in Drift, but your call. Thanks for the help!

Will sure look at it, it is on my todo list

The core of this update is that now Drift is packaged as a plugin, meaning that it will be easier for you to upgrade from here on 

To update to v0.1.0 (from whatever version you have)  please read https://akhater.github.io/drift/#FAQ

[Saq Imtiaz]

Regarding updating from the pre-plugin versions:

Maybe provide the code for a button that deletes all prefix $:/ak/drift - tiddlers before installing the plugin?
You just need a button and an action-deletetiddler widget. The latter accepts a filter to determine what to delete (use the prefix operator).

[Tony K]

I didn't think about that :S

[Tony K]

For anyone who didn't upgrade yet this is what Saq suggested

<$list filter="[prefix[$:/ak/drift/]]" />

<$button>

<$action-deletetiddler $filter="[prefix[$:/ak/drift/]]" />

Delete All

Hey Tony.

Loving the plugin. I ran into one issue though I wondered if I could get help with. 

When using the markdown file type, the bulleted items are off by a large amount. They appear nicely when using the standard tiddly format. Is there any way to resolve this easily?

[john roland]

Hi Casey,

I found that this helped me with bullet spacing issues for the markdown plugin in recent versions of TiddlyWiki, and I think it must address the issue you’re seeing too in Drift because markdown bullet lists appear fine for me: https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/issues/4592

Hope it helps!

Hello Casey, 

I think i've managed to fix this please allow me some time and I will release an update 

[Tony K]

Update released, v0.3.0 should fix it

I would appreciate your feedback after testing it

[casey.d...@gmail.com]

John, 

Your fix ended up working beautifully for me. 

Tony, I will download the update and give a test for you as well though this weekend.

Thank you all for the quick responses.

Tony,

Kind of a dumb question. How do I update?

Hello Casey

which version of drift are you currently running? if you are on v0.1.0 or later drift now is a plugin and you update it just like any other plugin or by downloading and installing https://github.com/akhater/akhater.github.io/blob/master/drift/%24__ak_drift.json directly on your TW

JD has just posted an update to the mono theme for compatibility with the Stories plugin:

Hello Tony, I noticed that the site is really responsive on mobile.
What did you change from the original mono theme to make it look good on mobile??

Hi there,

I'm a new tiddlywiki user trying to make sense of Drift. How do I add backlinks? Clicking on edit seems to show a field called "tmap.id", but where do I get this ID from in order to specify the backlinks? Sorry if this is a really silly question.

Hey Petruschk

* Off course we already have backlinks, actually all the featured are already there all I did is organizing them in tabs for ease of access and visibility

* Yes I am planning to package the "inbound links" as a package. actually it is almost done but I wanted to get Drift out there before the weekend that's all

* For me it is the flow of ideas. I've been using "TheBrain" free version for some time and I am not ready to pay for the premium version, and now here comes https://roamresearch.com/ that will also be expensive for me. That's what brought me to TiddlyWiki I need a place to be able to internlink ideas easily (like a Wiki [[Idea1]]) and then, when I review this idea1 I can easily find where i referred to it etc... 

Also I've added some other small touches in Drift (listed in the features list)

For now it works for me but I totally understand it might not for everyone

all the best

Hello TonyK

Thanks for Sharing Drift here.

Some questions:

* Don't we already had backlinks?

* Are you planning to make it a plugin?

* Could you may explain a bit what is so extraordinary for you to have this kind of feature? I am really interested what possibilities are in here that I can't see and that we already have two projects (TiddlyBlink and yours) around this functionality. 

Thanks in advance!

Best wishes

Hi navee...

You add links to tiddlers to other tiddlers. They show up as backlinks to the former tiddlers within the latter tiddlers.

So you don't add backlinks in Drift. They automatically get added as you create links in the tiddlers.

Hello Tony K,

Thank you for your great work!

But it seems that there is a little bug about UTF8 character or other reason I dont know.

Like this:

If I use a tiddler title in Chinese, then it can be searched by "references" but cannot be shown in "freelink"(just one "backlink").
