Announcement

Date: Jan 17th, 2017

Scripts in TW is a resource for Tiddlywikians contains
  1.  Solutions to selected questions raised in TW Google group (Forum)
  2.  Links to selected wikis, tips, codes, macros, ... created for/by Tiddlywiki
  3. Some tutorials, examples, demo,...


  • It uses the Solution Resource plugin to create new solutions to questions in forum. see: https://kookma.github.io/Solution/
  • It uses Tobias Beer search in fields to look into keywords, responder, ...
  • If you like to contribute, download and create solution tiddlers and then send exported tiddlers to me to be added. You may fork and add on your own and then share


Note:
  1. There is only 160 solutions in TW-Script. I will try to update on a bi-weekly basis
  2. I selected those solution, I am interested and understand to be able to implement them in TW
  3. This may acts as complement to David Gifford Toolmap. This wiki actually implements the solution rather than gives a link.



Cheers
Mohammad

Great initiative. If it grows large, may be it could split off scripts of the largest category to separate editions. This could be a community edition of "Inside Tiddlywiki - The missing manual".

I put this in the "General reference and tutorials" section of the toolmap, with this text

Scripts in TW - you would think with the name 'Scripts' that this would be for advanced users. But check out the 'Solutions' tab in the sidebar and you will discover that this site has a vast index of solutions for all levels of TiddlyWiki users.

Thanks David. That's great.
I am sure if people help this can be a useful resource for Two.

@admls @Riz, @TonyM, @Watt

Thank you for your kind words. I hope I can update it on a timely manner. 
I will keep it simple and mostly I collect those solutions can be implemented by
TW standard syntax e.g. widgets, macros, and like that.

I would highly appreciate contributions by anybody interested in this forum.

Cheers

TW-Scripts Updated
Jan 19, 2019


Now you can directly search Dave Gifford Tiddlywiki Toolmap from inside TW-Scripts.

Thanks to S.S for his great solution for online lookup.

I am thinking interested people when propose a solution on this forum can share it as a tiddler(s) attachment  
to be directly imported into TW-Script.

TW-Scripts selectively (due lack of time and contributors) collect solution from this forum and document them for later references.


Cheers

Amazing Mohammad.  I shall attach tid's to some posts I have planned like you suggest-- in fact, check my post about external content-- I have the tid I copied and pasted and I'll add it to the post as a test.

You are welcome Mario.

I hope I can document those solutions in the group I understand them.
I see many great solutions were buried in this forum and I hope
I can collect and publish them in TW-Scripts.

I hope superusers, expert people have a look and let me know where the solutions can be improved or there is better solution.

I think TW-Scripts can play role in TW community as a learn through examples resource.


Best wishes
Mohammad

Incredibly useful! The search script for Gifford's TiddlyWiki Toolmap is exactly what is needed to begin to bring a search interface of all vital resources together.

I was wondering if you might want to provide a similar tool so we could search YOUR collation of scripts? Meaning a search tiddler I could easily put in my TW to search TW-scripts? Hope this is clear!

Many thanks!
Josiah

I wanted to add that I am actively using your resource. 

I am not a programmer but having quick access to good examples that persist is invaluable. Especially to a user like me.

In practical use, for me, this IS documentation. It illustrates strongly that the Google Group for TW produces excellent solutions. 

What we needed was a way to sift the central solution from the surrounding discussion. Your solution does that. Your route is definitely needed.

Just FYI, I learned a lot from it about searching the web from TW in an easy way. It has enabled me to begin create precise search tools I need.

Best wishes
Josiah

Many thanks Josiah!

Actually it would be great if we could search these stuff from tiddlywiki.com.
When we make a search in tiddlywiki.com it can show results in two colors: for example black for those found in tiddlywiki.com itself and blue for those are found in external resources. What I did for Dave Gifford Toolmap can be done in Tiddlywiki.com.

By the way I am happy you found this resource useful. As you said there are very clever solutions buried in this forum.
I am still wondering if there is a way to let people have write access so they can contribute. 

Regarding your question in the first pots, I hope I can create one to be able to search this resource from your own wiki.

Finally credits of that TW-Scripts are belong to the great people in this forum. I tried to give a link with name of responder, developer, or contributor.
I used the same name as people use in this forum (if I don't know their real name).

Thank you all.

Thank you, Mohammad, great job!

Did you already submit your site to include in resources on tiddlywiki.com?

Kind regards,
Thomas

You would write a tiddler like e.g. this https://tiddlywiki.com/#%22TiddlyWiki%20Toolmap%22%20by%20David%20Gifford – see more examples via the next link – and submit it either as a pull request on github or as an attachment to a post here in the group (in hope for help from e Github pro).

When it has been accepted (and tiddlywiki.com has been updated) it will be available on https://tiddlywiki.com/#Resources

Good luck!
Thomas

New Update: TW-Scripts

Github: https://github.com/kookma/TW-Scripts



Now from inside TW-Scripts you can directly search tiddlywiki.com and get the link to
open the result right away. 

Take a look at the new release. Now you can search

- TW-scripts itself
- Tiddlywiki toolmap
- Tiddlywiki.com

For the last two only links are shown and clicking take you to the result page.

Cheers
Mohammad Rahmani

Excellent!

Can we have a self-contained tiddler that we can drag n' drop that similarly searches TW-Scripts?

The only limitation I can see with it is if you searched for ...

$:/core

... it reverts to the local wiki, not TiddlyWiki.com

Its likely an edge case but perhaps worth looking into a bit?

Best wishes
Josiah

Hello Josiah,
 Do you search in title? or all fields?

It uses the standard TW 5.1.18 search operator e.g

[!is[system]search:*[keyword]]


and 

[!is[system]search:title[keyword]]


I will take a look to see what is the problem!

Cheers

Josiah,
 I got the problem. It is because of wikification! 

I correct it within  few minutes.

Hello Josiah,
 Corrected! Now you can search for tiddler name and exclude or include the system tiddlers.

Have a look and let me your opinion.

I think yes. It is similar to search in tiddlywiki.com
I will make one in new update

Excellent!

Now it copes much better with both ordinary users and developers (who understand "$:/").
