[tw5] Set a Table of Contents to show with closed nodes when the tiddler is open

[Pieter-Michiel Geuze]

What:
I would like my sorted selective table of contents to show with all closed nodes when the tiddler is reopened.

Why:
There are many nodes in my starting tiddler and I would like to be able to drill down while explaining why I am drilling down without confusing the audience with additional choices.

Example:

1.  Case Notes
   1.  20 April 2015
      1.  Case Assignment
      2.  HTCS Request
      3.  Evidence Seized Review - 134131
      4.  Search Warrant Review - 14SW0692
      5.  Case Review
      6.  Evidence Collection
      7.  Prepare Workstation
      8.  Wipe System Disk
      9.  Ghost System Drive
   2.  21 April 2015
      1.  External Inspection - Sony VAIO - 134131-1
      2.  Internal Inspection - Sony VAIO - 134131-1
      3.  External Inspection - Toshiba Satellite - 134131-2
      4.  Internal Inspection - Toshiba Satellite - 134131-2
      5.  Power on Inspection - Toshiba Satellite - 134131-2
      6.  Prepare Target Evidence Drive
      7.  Wipe Evidence Drive with TD2
   3.  Image Source Drive - Fujitsu 120GB K427T842N80C
   4.  Virus Scan - Fujitsu 120GB K427T842N80C
   5.  Virus Scan - Seagate 500GB 5VEDRSGV
   6.  22 April 2015
2.  Evidence Items
   1.  Evidence Control Record 134131
      1.  Evidence Seized Review - 134131
      2.  Evidence Collection

To show as:
Case Notes

Hi,

I think an expandable table of contents might give you what you want?

See tiddler:- Example Table of Contents: Selectively Expandable

<div class="tc-table-of-contents">
<<toc-selective-expandable "Contents">>
</div>

Regards,

Richard

Sir,

Thank you, that is the Table of Contents that I am using in the example. The issue is that when I open the tiddler the tree is fully open and I would like to know what the syntax in the code is for it to show with all the nodes closed.

Again thank you for your response.

Hello,

I think you have run into the problem that TiddlyWiki saves the current state every time you do a save. Example when you finish editing a tiddler, whatever the state of the TOC is saved to return the next time it is opened. Most users try to remember to close everything up and do a save before exiting the TiddlyWiki. Then it is in the state they want it to be when it is opened again.

I thought this was addressed sometime ago and finally founded it. Remember to backup your TiddlyWiki before making any changes to the core like this.

Jeremy gave an example of doing this in the thread: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/TiddlyWiki/CgmcRls_mkE

Tobias also has a reference to this in his tb5 — a pocket full of tips at http://tobibeer.github.io/tb5/#States%20And%20Temporary%20Tiddlers

Hope that is what you are looking for.
Greg

Thank you for your answer, and thank you more for the examples for me to review and learn more from.
