How to use
The Favorites plugin adds the button to the tiddler view Toolbar and also the
Favorites
tab to the sidebar.The button becomes
red
when selected and then the tiddler appears in the list on theFavorites
tab. The list can be sorted using drag and drop of items.A tiddler can be removed from the
Favorites
tab by either
- opening it and clicking again on the button. or
- click on remove button in
Favorites
list on the sidebarCredits
All credits goes to Andrew Harrison who originally developed the favorites plugin
- Packaged plugin
- Drag and drop $:/plugins/kookma/favorites into your wiki
- Save and reload your wiki
- Client-Server installation (separate files)
- For Node.js (server version) download the favorites folder from source folder and paste in your Tiddlywiki plugins folder
- For local installation put the favorites folder into your local plugins folder under your wiki folder
- Demo: https://kookma.github.io/TW-Favorites/
- Code: https://github.com/kookma/TW-Favorites
It is highly recommended to backup your data before trying any new plugin! Do it before installing Favorites
Thanks for iterating this key plugin.
Can I ask if you can tell me what the difference is if rather using the folder version I drop the single file plugin on a node hosted wiki? I am sure I should already understand the full consequences how ever I think if we present alternative distributions we should explain the pros and cons of each.
thanks and love your work

Thanks for your quick response but I still do not understand the difference between dropping a single tiddler plugin on a file wiki and dropping it on a node which would save it as a tiddler file anyway and the package dropped in the file system unless that is a shared plugin folder such as on bob?
Basicaly why bother with the underlying file system when a running tiddlywiki file or server will include a dropped plugin as needed.
Please forgive my ignorance on this detail.

I did not want to high Jack the thread. But I thought this info important for mohammadss different releases. I understand this may have a reason but surely we could get dropped plugins to be saved into the node required locations to bring these behaviors inline. It seems an unnesasary complication. I did not notice so much because I tend to install my own macros a lot. It seems a bridge too far for a user moving to a folder wiki.
This possibly explains some odd behavior I have experienced with no messages.
I will revisit this for myself but can we build a solution to bring them inline?
Regards
Tony
Ciao MohammadVery nice to be reminded you did this evolution of Harrison's original!
Just FYI, I thought it worth mentioning Thomas Elmiger's variant on "bookmarks" which uses a "side marker" in an interesting way ...His approach is to integrate it into his "MyStory" plugin which makes sense since bookmarks (& favourites) are part of "bespoke navigation."Just thought you might be interested to see it.
Thanks for that. I understand on a team or public server that prohibiting plugin installation makes sense. However we often use server implementations for saving. Could we have an overide for this for local access situations?
I will add this to my related thread.

Hi Mohammad and Josiah,It helps me a lot to sharpen my ideas, when I look at similar solutions from other authors. So here are some inputs from my experience and thinking from the development of my own plugin.
- Icons: I like the heart, but the difference between active and passive might be too subtle (think of "colorblind" people or people with low vision who need high contrast). Idea: filled hart for active state.
- Icons: A close icon comes with the core ($:/core/images/close-button), why does the plugin use it’s own times.svg?
- Removing items: Why is removing in the sidebar for deleted tiddlers only?
- Documentation: this behaviour is not clear from the readme
- License: A bit short ;-)
Nice things:
- sortable favorites list
- use caption, show title on hover (my plugin does the same)
- simple and small footprint
All the best,Thomas

Hi Mohammad,It's probably caused by me copying your source folder to my original favorite plugin folder (I'm using Node.js). Some files therefore may not be deleted.Now I deleted the whole folder first and copy the new version and everything is good now.
