Announcing the TOC Counting plugin!

Today is my birthday so this is my birthday present to you.


Sometimes TW can feel like a black box, I made this plugin to get a better feel of my table of contents / index tiddlers at a glance.


The TOC counting plugin adds a count of child tiddlers to the right of each entry in the TOC(s). No count will be shown if there isn't any child tiddlers (e.g. no 0).


I hope you find it useful.



I don't know if I did this in the most optimal way, I am particular thinking if it has any impact on performance?? (not that I have noticed any). please enlighten me. I have modified the TOC macro and added to this to the view


<$list filter='[tag<currentTiddler>limit[1]]'  variable=null>(<$count filter="[all[current]tagging[]]"/>)</$list>

Ciao HC Haase

Very simply useful I think.

Lets pretend a use case. You have a large complex structured hierarchy.

Its great how simple "Level One" gets accurate numbers.

What I'm wondering is whether that can be iterated for all sub-levels?

Best wishes
Josiah

I added this to the toolmap. I had to add a new category, "Counting tiddlers". https://dynalist.io/d/zUP-nIWu2FFoXH-oM7L7d9DM#z=0LNnGpudtrfJybqFdBbkGbwL

yes! I wonder that myself. I have it on my to-do. But I for now I must admit I don't have the skills. I haven't figured out the TW filtering. I guess it have to be recursive. I would think that the TOC macro itself is filtering through all sub-levels but I right now I dont know how to use that for counting.

Maybe some TWissards in the group can help :)

Maybe not a question for You, but how would I go about to apply this counting to the tocP-macro?

Announcement: TOC counting v 2.2 Big update
Date: 2020/03/11
Release: 2.2.0


OK this is a big update, I am really satisfied now, except for one issue.

I am happy that

I have implemented what others asked for:
  • integration with bimlas locator plugin
  • integration with P marios tocP plugin

I have done what I wanted in the roadmap
  • added the counting in lists
  • counting of tiddlers in all sub-levels (see warning)

added new cool stuff

  • counting of both tagged and backlinks (toggable)
  • a nicer toggle button in the page toolbar
warning: I am not so happy that
  • when counting all sub-leves with the kin filter it is very slow
  • performance is not great (added toggle off button)
I hope you will enjoy it

2.2.0

  • [new] added counting for all sub-levels of tags (kin- filter). WARNING: this is very slow.
  • [new] added button in page toolbar with 3 modes. 1level count/all level count/turn off
  • [new] added count of links or tag/links (and tag). toggle by pressing the number (3 views)
  • [new] added support for list-links, list-links-draggable and list-tag-draggable
  • [new] moved code to a macro that is used in the plugin, and can be used with the syntax <<toc_counting>> (not used in tocp)
  • [fix] removed counting of 0 zero in the locator and tocp plugins
  • [fix] removed the double "tags" tab form the sidebar. $:/plugins/HCHaase/toc_counting/more/tag_org still had sidebar tag.
