Slider Plugin: Create trails, guided help, linear sequence of tiddlers for tutorial, lesson, step by step instructions

[Mohammad]

Announcement: Slider Plugin

Date: Jun 15th, 2019

Slider v1.1

Slider is a small plugin to create an ordered set of tiddlers also called Trail.

A trail can be used to create a sequence of selected contents like step by step tutorial, guided help, lessons and similar.

The slider plugin user interface contains three sections

1. A sidebar tab called Trails to manage trails
2. A dashboard for each trail (where trail structure is managed)
3. Tiddlers in a trail, also called slides

Feedback

1. Raise issues and send your questions on GitHub
2. Send your evaluation result here or on the GitHub
3. Send your use case and give link for acknowledgement
4. It is good to star it on GitHub if you like it

Note:

Slider tries to create linear content in the highly nonlinear environment of Tiddlywiki.

1. Slider was designed as side product when I was working with Tiddlyshow
2. Tiddlyshow will have soon a new update
3. See discussion here: Jeremy and Joe
   

Improvement

1. The TW official toc macro does not support exclude filter, this causes to have the footer in the list of tiddler
2. Interested people are invited to create thems
3. Some special TW theme are not recommended to be used with Slider, one can develop code for compatibility
4. Some people may like to have shortcuts, but I did not add this feature to have less overlaps with Tiddlyshow

Best regards

Hi Mohammad,

The link to the demo page no longer seems to work and I can't drag the plug in.

 Jon,

Go to https://github.com/kookma/slider  Find above right Clone or download button. Download zip and unpack it. That is how I got it.

Hi Jon,

You can find it here: https://kookma.github.io/slider/

The page is working now!

By the way the other method is what Birthe described and then you have your own copy or you can fork it!

"Slider" doesn't seem to really capture what it does. Seems more like "Tiddly-Point"

Hello Mohammad

I have installed the Slider Plugin, and it is fantastic. Very practical.

When in use I think it would be a good idea to have a RESET button, to switch states after having pressed the SET FOR PRESENTATION button.

What do you think about that?

The philosophy is to have the footer and navigation bar on the active trail (slider). So, every trail set for presentation its children (slides) will have the footer.

You can add a button for reset! do as below

• create a new tiddler
• put the below code as its content
• <$button style="fill:#8058A5;"

        set="$:/plugins/kookma/slider/state!!current-trail"

        setTo=""

      >

        {{$:/plugins/kookma/slider/images/slide.svg}} Reset presentation

  </$button> 
  
  
• Save and click on Reset presentation

I will manage to have such button in the next release.

Thanks for the promptness!

I adopted the suggestions and it is very functional in my context.

Hey Mohammad,

Thanks for another great plugin. I definitely have plans for this one. May I make a suggestion? Could you modify it such that clicking the arrows in the lower left of each slide would be like your simple navigation in that it closes one tiddler and opens the next one? That would be more in tune with having a slide presentation.

Thanks,

Damon

Hi Damon,

 I have added a ticket here: https://github.com/kookma/slider/issues/2

I will add this to new release, while I need to see how user select between current and new behavior.

By the way for quick solution now

1. use slider in zoonin story view
2. switch to Tiddlyshow (https://github.com/kookma/Tiddlyshow) which is designed for slide show and presentation
