Tiddlers as Bookmarklets!!!

[Arlen Beiler]

Hey!!! Just made a discovery. You can drag a link to a Tiddler into your bookmarks as a bookmarklet and then drag it into another Tiddlywiki to import the tiddler. 

Hot off the press,

Well that's blindingly obvious.  I guess I must be blind!

Good spot, Arlen!

I think that this could be useful for storing bookmarklets to help with getting new systems set up.

Right.  Ad hoc "bundles".  Cool.

,Nice discovery, may even be a reason to use FireFoxe's side bar, allowing drag left and drop, and the side bar stays open while navigating TiddlyWikis on the righ.

I wonder how much I will use it

Arlen,

In tiddlyserver is it possible to add to the types in the settings.json file? It did not work for me

    "types":{
        "htmlfile": ["htm", "html"]
    },

    "types":{
        "htmlfile": ["htm", "html"]
        "jsonfile": ["json"]
        "tidfile": ["tid"]
    },

The answer to this may help me extend the trick you just shared!

Thanks
Tony

So that one can browse to a folder containing these?

[Arlen Beiler]

Any folder may contain any file types and you can open any of them. The only purpose the types object serves is to determine the icon used in the directory listing. The icons are found in assets/icons/files. Also, you cannot specify a property with the same name twice in a JSON object. Just include the new types object containing all the data in one object.

Hope that helps,

Arlen

Arlen,

My mistake, a typo fooled me, however I  currently map a network location \\studio8d\intranet\TW5 Intranet, to the I: drive

The Settings.json file reads
        "C:": "C:\\",
        "I:": "I:\\",

Is there away to specify the network share directly?

So, My Idea was to open a TiddlyServer address in an iframe and use the items there to drag and drop items into my current wiki,

however your tip

You can drag a link to a Tiddler into your bookmarks as a bookmarklet and then drag it into another Tiddlywiki to import the tiddler.

does not apply to items in the tiddly server file and folder list, and sadly not even an iframe with file:///i://

In fact dragging from / to bookmarks is only giving me a link to the file, not the contents..

I mistakenly Attributed the tip also to tiddly server - oops.

Regards
Tony

Apparently, Node doesn't support UNC paths (windows network paths). You can either specify another drive letter, or you can just load the file into the iframe using a file URL. If you paste the network path into your browser's address bar it will give you the file URL for the path. You might be able to just paste it into the iframe src attribute directly, I don't know.

Hope that helps,

Arlen

Thank you! I used to move tabs into new windows to do the same sort of stuff.

This should be written down somewhere!!! Like in the tiddlywiki site, or maybe tobias has a list of workflows, there.
Because I remember having to figure out workflows while using tiddlywiki in the beginning.

Is this proof that no one here has had a brain for a LONG time? :-) Lol!

I know.  Can't believe I didn't think of that. It's just so bloody obvious!

:)

[Arlen Beiler]

My thought process went something like this:

• TiddlyServer almost didn't support single file saving because the put saver didn't work quite right.
• [Remembers that dragging tiddlers from one wiki to another works because the tiddler data is encoded in the link]
• I could have just made the saver, then copy the tiddler link and paste it into the directory index in TiddlyServer. That would make it easier for people to install it in their TiddlyWikis. And then, just like I did with the "Fix put saver" bookmarklet, I would tell people to bookmark it --
• HEY!!! BOOKMARKS ARE LINKS!!! I SHOULD BE ABLE TO BOOKMARK A TIDDLER!!! AND IMPORT A BOOKMARK!!!

So you see, the thought process was natural. But someone had to think it.

Maybe i should not admit it, but I have used this for a long time now. I had absolutely no thought process. I have an inbuild keyboard mouse working terribly and one day dragging the link to a tiddler to another TW it just slipped in my bookmarks. Shortly after the browser went down and I had to restart. I still wanted the tiddler, så I just tried if it would work - and it did. ;-)
