Force only one tiddler open at once

[Kalcifer Kandari]

TLDR: Is there any way to ensure that there is only one tiddler open at once?

My wiki has quite a lot of tiddlers, nearly 500 right now, and I've found the longer it's open, the slower it gets. Then I realised it's because all the open tiddlers were never closing. I use the zoomin story view so it wasn't obvious it would make a difference, considering the entire site is loaded anyway, but there must be some extra resource usage having so many tiddlers open.

I'm aware of the close all other tiddlers button, but visitors won't necessarily know about it, and as you follow links, tiddlers are getting opened all the time, so you would need to be pressing that constantly.

Would the zoomin view do the job?
Settings / apperance/ story view

I mentioned that I'm using it. It doesn't close tiddlers, it just doesn't show them.

So you did... I can read.. Honest... :)

Hi Kalcifer,

Jeremy and al. have been working for a while on a new storyview mode that will address some of the issues left with zoomin, but there are a few questions remaining, so this PR has not been merged yet : https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/pull/3412.

Ah, very interesting. I'll have to wait for this to get added then.

If you make your own contents lists or navigation inside your tiddlers you can have links (using the linkcatcher) or buttons that open the next tiddler and close the current one.

Zoom in is the display only one story, but you can choose to provide a navigation of your own that does what you want.

Ask if you want more info.

Would not the links in the sidebar be unaffected?

Kalcifer

[TonyM]

You can make your own sidebars that do this. Hide the existing ones or edit the existing ones to close the current one, or if there the current one is unknown close all before opening the next.

You can do anything in tiddlywiki and most of the time without java script.

True. I do know how to do that, just try to avoid overwriting tiddlers because it makes updating harder, as you need to check them all. It is a good option though.

Kalcifer

[TonyM]

Don't overwrite them clone them, change them choose what the user sees, provide a restore default behaviour button.
