Some Plugins for the new Editor Toolbar

[Stephen Kimmel]

In keeping with the general spirit of the TiddlyWiki community, ie, you develop something useful and/or potentially interesting you share it with others, I'm sharing some of the plugins I've developed to go with the new Editor Toolbar. You'll find them and a more extensive discussion of what each does at http://skplugins.tiddlyspot.com/

I start developing these functions when I was working on my own toolbar and many of them I've been using for quite some time. Even so, you should use them with caution. As the developer, there is always the risk that I simply avoid the traps and pitfalls and am simply blind to some bugs. Accordingly, please let me know if you find something or have suggestions for improvements. I've tried all of them with various TW 5.12 preleases and so far they seem to be working well.

The plug-ins related to the Editor Toolbar include:

1. TableHelper - Converts blocks of comma separated or tab separated data into TiddlyWiki Tables
2. TableCols - Adjusts the alignment of a user specified column to Centered, Left or Right justified as well as adding or deleting columns
3. FindReplace - Adds Find and Replace capability to the Editor.
4. Transclude - Marks a text selection as a transclusion
5. Links - Marks a text selection as a link
6. Indent - Indents a selected block of text
7. BalanceCheck - detects and locates mis-matched parenthesis, braces, brackets and TiddlyWiki formatting marks
8. Fancy Quotes - Changes the typography of a text selection to standard typgraphic marks
9. Color - Adds text color or background highlighting color to a specified block of text
10. Email Convert - Revises blocks of text to change characters that would be misinterpreted by TiddlyWiki such as > and < to their html equivalents. Also adds spacing and converts bullets to TiddlyWiki equivalents.
11. HTML Convert - Converts an imported to the TiddlyWiki equivalent.

Plug-ins not directly related to the Editor Toolbar:

1. SidebarHelp - Adds a tab to the sidebar area where help tiddlers can be displayed.
2. WhiteList - Allows a user selected group of words that TiddlyWiki would normally treat as CamelCase words that will be considered ordinary words.
3. MathCell - Allows math operations within tiddlers

I would like to request a plugin for an undo function for the editor toolbar.

Hi Stephen

Congratulations, these are great enhancements, and very well packaged and presented. Really excellent stuff. I’ve added a link for 5.1.12:

Just an FYI pending better solutions ...

So long as you do NOT navigate away from being in the editor (i.e. a "textarea") you CAN undo some previous edits in steps via the standrad undo "Ctrl+Z" (in latest Firefox on a PC.)
Its not the best, but it works. It did it for me.

HOORAY for fellow STEPHEN!!!

Thank you so much for this (and that's quite a lot!!) - and for setting a good example of the TW spirit!

This is really an incredible community we have!

<:-)

[TiddlyWiker]

Many thanks to Stephen Kimmel for all the plugins!

prog...@assays.tv

I have also found in addition to control-z for undo,control-y for redo. Both work fine in the firefox browser and google chrome for me using a computer. I don't have the possibility of testing it with a mobile.

Hello Stephen,
thanks for these great enhancments, they really are what I needed for long.
Do you have to Install or change a formatting Tiddler to install them?
I installed $:/plugins/sk/FindReplace and $:/plugins/sk/Transclude but they do not appear in the controlPanel yet...

Thanks for the plugins and the help
Jan

Jan,

You mentioned that they don't appear in the Control Panel. They should be on the Control Panel under Appearance - Toolbars - Editor Toolbar (not Edit Toolbar) at the bottom of the list.

You haven't quite given me enough to work on to figure out exactly what went wrong for you (for example, you didn't say whether they appear on the Editor Toolbar or not) so I'm going to try several possibilities.

1. The plugins only work with TW 5.1.12 which is only available in pre-release at the moment. If you are working with a copy of TiddlyWiki that you got from the regular site, your version will be 5.1.11 or earlier. (If you are working with a TiddlyWiki Classic, then the toolbar functions won't work but many similar functions are available from Eric's TiddlyTools (http://www.tiddlytools.com/#QuickEditPlugin ) The editor toolbar hadn't been developed by version 5.1.11 and so modifications to the editor toolbar won't work. To check the version of TiddlyWiki you have, click on the gear shaped icon near the top of the sidebar under your wiki's title and subtitle. Under the Basics tab under the Info tab you'll find an entry labelled "TiddlyWiki Version." If that entry says anything other than 5.1.12-prerelease or 5.1.12 then you have an earlier version.  TW 5.1.12 should be available vary soon but if you don't want to wait you can download it from this link: http://tiddlywiki.com/prerelease/

2. Assuming you are working with 5.1.12, it is possible that what you downloaded wasn't the plug-in but the tiddler that describes the plugin. If you find a tiddler called FindReplace in your recent tiddlers list, there's a good chance that you downloaded the documentation rather than the plugin. The plugin will have a name like $:/plugins/sk/FindReplace which won't appear on the Recent list. If you do an advanced search of System tiddlers for $:/plugins/sk then it should appear on the list if you downloaded the correct tiddler.

3. When you download a plugin in tiddler, a prompt should appear at the top of the screen reminding you to save and reload to allow changes in plugins to take effect. Since the plugins are integrated into the system files, they won't have any impact until you reload. I tend to discount this possibility since you would have to ignore the prompt and leave you wiki running all the time for that to be true.

So, to further diagnose the issue, check the version of TiddlyWiki you are using and check that the tiddlers $:/plugins/sk/FindReplace and $:/plugins/sk/Transclude are in the System tiddlers list.

[Jan]

Hi Stephen,
I guess it was your first assumption: I used the wrong version of TW.
After I imported my own TW into the download of http://skplugins.tiddlyspot.com/ everything worked fine...
Thanks a lot
Jan

From Newbie to Newbie:

1. Stephen Kimmel has provided a whole pack of editor buttons which improve productivity dramatically. You find them here: http://skplugins.tiddlyspot.com/ I use them in all my TWs.

2. At the same place you find some plugins for the handling of tables and also for dealing with xls - files, which allow some really dramatic (at least from my humble point of view)  things in terms of converting data.

From Newbie to Stephan: The editor buttons come one button in one plugin. I personally think they are so valuable that I would like to have all of them in one plugin - because I use them everywhere.It would make import quicker.

Of course - A library for ALL-YOUR-STUFF would be ideal.

Stephan, thank you again for your great work and effort to the benefit of us all.

Kind regards

Pit.W

Ciao Pit W,

So, Stephen, BUNDLE all the editing controls into one package? :-)

I think it would be a good idea.

Any you didn't need you could disable or delete.

Best wishes
Josiah

[Lost Admin]

I like that as long as there is a settings pages where I can go in and disable them.

[Sergey Shishkin]

Great! I will try!

[Danielo Rodríguez]

 

I would like to request a plugin for an undo function for the editor toolbar.

There are undo and redo buttons on Stephen's plugins

[Andrew]

I would like to see undo and redo brought back in future editions.
