see how effectively I can use it in other scenarios
<$button tooltip="A small informational piece of text" class="tc-btn-invisible">
{{$:/core/images/info-button}}
</$button>
I see that the user needs to realise how comprehensive your solution is then use their imagination to explore the possibilities, not to mention use it to explore the Wiki it is installed on.
- Is the video silent?
- "Locator" works, but something like "Content Locatorer" "Content Explorer" would be more meaningful.
- One way to help with this is to include along with the name a short descriptor
- eg; Locator, your whole of Wiki content locator.
- There is something upside down about the interface in the tab, I see why, but I have a hunch there is another way
- Also this is so powerful at least on a desktop you could have an open in story, open in new window or modal then you would not need to be so minimalist
- Having a more verbose interface available, may make it easier to learn to use the sidebar locator once someone has learned how to use it
I think all you need to make it perfect is a little more of an intuitive interface, perhaps with the use of some appropriate key terms, and info icons. Another effective way is to find an appropriate metaphor, perhaps one that relates to content.Here is a simple info Icon I use often
<$button tooltip="A small informational piece of text" class="tc-btn-invisible">

I pushed an update of TW-Scripts with Locator plugin!
But I don't know how effectively one can use Locator with TW-Scripts.
<$wikify name=keys text="""<$list filter="[all[tiddlers]each[keywords]get[keywords]]"><<currentTiddler>> </$list>""">
''Total keywords: <$count filter="[enlist<keys>]"/>''<br>
<ol><$list filter="[enlist<keys>sort[]]"><li><$text text=<<currentTiddler>>/></li></$list></ol>
</$wikift>
- I clicked on responder in keywords tree
- I selected then (by clicking on x) bimlas, TonyM
- at the bottom of tree I see many tiddlers while onle one of them has a field: responder with value: bimlas, TonyM
It seems that 2020 will be the year of renewal of the table of contents, as many of you present new, innovative solutions in this area. Here's mine.
Dear all,It seems that 2020 will be the year of renewal of the table of contents, as many of you present new, innovative solutions in this area. Here's mine.
One comment is when you click a title (entry) from TOC it get highlighted so in reading long text one can find where he/she has started and continue.
One minor comment: how can I filter tiddlers have responder as Mrxsal OR bimlas
This is not crucial but may be interesting
- you clicked on an entry, it gets highlighted in the TOC
- then you clicked a link in the open tiddler which navigate to an item it is again an entry in the TOC
- do you think it worth TOC smartly scroll to that item?
- please keep simplicity the first priority
- a button to expand all
- a button to close all
The video helps a lot. Thanks for taking the time to make it.
- colors. if you use a bit darker themes the text is hard to read some palces ( see screenshot). if you (and every plugin) could choose colors that follows the theme (like primary, links etc) instad of hardcoding the colors, it would be great.
- maybe I did something wrong but I get a limitd search result in locator. how come (see screenshot)?
- context settings/show fields/transclusion etc. is not that usefull if you have a narrow sidebar. maybe you could make a button to pup out the view in a tiddler in the story river or something
- you write you can use it to "Create mindmaps". That sound exiting but I dont realy understand how. could you maybe give sime examples?
At some point, maybe we should make an effort to combine different plugins / find duplicates / consider if some plugin features could be included in the core??
the TOC counting l plugin adds a counter to the $:/core/macros/toc macro.
For example, the arrow next to 'Table of contents' doesn't do anything when pressed. Nor do the two middle icons to the right of 'Filter by fields'.
At first I missed the link to the tutorial because it was right above the video surrouned by bold text. There is a LOT of bold text, which is "noisy". Maybe you could separate the link to the tutorial visually from the rest so it stands out.
I am not clear on what the following means: "This sidebar is hidden when the focus is on the search entry to increase responsiveness - see Locator view for the code." What sidebar are you referring to?
Anyway, those are not criticisms, but meant to help.
Mohammad,One minor comment: how can I filter tiddlers have responder as Mrxsal OR bimlasSorry, but I just noticed this message.There is no "OR" connection and although I feel its lack, this would complicate the interface: probably I would have to put a drop down menu where we can select the type of connection ("AND", "OR"). It could be solved by using Shift + click as an "OR" connection, but that wouldn't work on the phone, so I'm not thinking about it.

I'll see if it's feasible, but if the ToC is so long that it's not visible on one screen, you might need to split it into several sections (drag-n-drop works in Locator). But I understand the essence of the need and try to fulfill it.
- a button to expand all
- a button to close all
I do not understand. Do you imagine, as in classic ToC, that you open all branches at once? The Locator only shows a single level of a single branch because it practically works like a ListWidget.
a button to expand alla button to close all
I have updated my TOC counting plugin to function with this wonderful plugin
HC Haase,I have updated my TOC counting plugin to function with this wonderful pluginI'm glad you like it and thank you for paying attention when developing your own plugin.What does $:/plugins/HCHaase/toc_counting/bimlas/locator/field-templates/link_org do? As I see, it only contains the link, not the counter. I think this can be deleted if it is not needed for your plugin to work.
In my opinion, change the caption of the $:/plugins/HCHaase/toc_counting/bimlas/locator/field-templates/link_count template template to "Link (with counter)", for example, because it is not clear how it differs from the original "Link" template.The "Enable counting of sub-tiddlers in Locator TOC" option is superfluous because the counter will work without any configuration if this template is selected for display in the Locator - it's missing from the documentation.
HC Haase,OK, I've got the idea. I've tried out on Locator demo, it's working fine. Please update the link in the OP, because it points to the old place of the plugin!
- Write short, easy-to-understand examples where I do not explain in detail how things work, but just show how the feature works basically. It's even better and easier to understand if I make short videos instead of a description.
- The Family Tree of Ford illustrates the plugin better, I use it to explain it.
- Use less bold text in the tutorial :)
- Find a more talkative name for the plugin (think "GraphicalListWidget" or similar would be appropriate)
- The sidebar can also be opened in the story river because of the context item templates
- Get more help with the user interface itself ("info buttons")
- Refine the text color, "Filter by fields" is not always readable
- Explain the mindmap features better
A minor comment (update the change log and put a transcluded tiddler show the latest change)
I could not find examples!
Mohammad,A minor comment (update the change log and put a transcluded tiddler show the latest change)What do you mean by a transcluded tiddler?
I could not find examples!Examples of what? The changes? Sorry, but I don't understand. If you're curious about the changes: https://gitlab.com/bimlas/tw5-locator/compare/master...dev
I mean to display the latest changes on the landing page like {{latestChange}}
