Suggestions for Learning More

[Michael O'Bryan]

I'm incredibly impressed by what I think is possible but find I am missing some "gap" information that lets me go from a basic understanding of how to make links, tags, etc., to one that I can really use to become dangerous.

For instance:

In many of the examples I see a nested, pull-down menu that I cannot figure out how to add to my TiddlyWiki.

Or where to find plugins and how to add them myself.  In an example I read "just drag this link to the browser window" but several attempts have proved less than successful.

Any support/direction/suggested place to go would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!!

I'm with you on this.  I have all sorts of questions.  The people here are real friendly but are operating at such I high level it is hard to get the gist of stuff from reading the messages.  It is slow going but I am slowly making progress.  I'm sure you will as well.

Alright to add a plugin:

1. Left-mouse select the plugin from the source.
2. Hold down the mouse and drag the pointer to the tab in the browser that contains the Wiki.
3. Move the pointer to the Plugins section and release.
4. It updates!

Note:  Open plugins on your source and destination wiki's first is (I believe) an important step.

Hi Michael,

have a look at this for the menu:

Hi Michael

This applies only to TiddlyWiki5 -- the process differs for TiddlyWiki Classic

1. Left-mouse select the link to the plugin from the source.
2. Hold down the mouse and drag the pointer to the tab in the browser that contains your TiddlyWiki5.
3. Move the pointer to the green target box that opens near the top of the Wiki, and release.
4. Save your Wiki.
5. Refresh the Wiki tab in the browser.
6. Your Wiki is now updated.

• It is often unnecessary to locate the green target, and dropping the link on the sidebar generally works.
  
• Note that for any plugins containing code -- the wiki must be saved and the page refreshed before the code becomes active.

regards

Hi Michael

Here is SOME info, not nearly all, in my unfinished http://giffmex.org/TiddlyQuickly.html

Mario is right - just keep posting questions here. I do it all the time.

As for the nested table of contents, that is pretty new and is not a terribly user-friendly feature at the moment. At the moment,

1. you create a tiddler and at the top of the tiddler you add the following:

\define toc-heading(caption,body)
<$reveal type="nomatch" state=<<qualify "$:/state/toc/$caption$">> text="show">
<$button set=<<qualify "$:/state/toc/$caption$">> setTo="show" class="btn-invisible">{{$:/core/images/right-arrow}} $caption$
</$button>
</$reveal>
<$reveal type="match" state=<<qualify "$:/state/toc/$caption$">> text="show">
<$button set=<<qualify "$:/state/toc/$caption$">> setTo="hide" class="btn-invisible">{{$:/core/images/down-arrow}} $caption$
</$button>
</$reveal>
<$reveal type="match" state=<<qualify "$:/state/toc/$caption$">> text="show" retain="yes" animate="yes">

$body$

</$reveal>
\end

2. The next step is adding your table of contents:

The basic formatting is this:

<div class="tw-table-of-contents">

# Bold category header
## <<toc-heading "First dropdown marker" "
## [[First list item within the dropdown]]
## Second list item within the dropdown
">>

</div>

The div part is a wrapper to indicate to TW what style it is. The middle part is what you need for each category in your table. Compare the tiddler http://tiddlywiki.com/#TableOfContents:TableOfContents in both view and edit mode, and you should get the idea. You can see from what I wrote above, that content in the dropdown can be links or text. I imagine tables and images, too. Haven't played with it enough to say.

Hi David,

I remember this link being very useful. Could you post it again?

Thank you,

Hi Michele

Sorry I missed your post from last August! I only occasionally get on the TW Google Group, and only just happened to see this post as well.

I would prefer to keep TQ off my site now. f you email me at dgif...@crcna.org I will be happy to attach TiddlyQuickly to a reply email.

Blessings
