Hi,

Did any one know or come across any tiddly wiki template which follows the navigation pattern? 

I need your kind suggestion on it. I thought of creating a tiddly wii with navigation pattern with all the articles in ONE HTML...

But not sure how to create one like any one of the below..it follows navigation pattern


I'm looking for a good navigation pattern in tiddly wiki as above.

Please advise

Thanks.

You've used the phrase "navigation pattern" in all four sentences of your message, and you linked to three apps, each of which shows screenshots for some kind of a catalog for accessing a collection of articles, 
but you don't actually describe the navigation pattern in any detail.  If you provide a more specific explanation of what you are trying to achieve, you might get a better response.

May be navigation would be a different meaning...As you said kind of a catalog tiddly wiki to categorize and accessing collection of articles

But not like a tree view but like a navigation view...

Tiddly wiki is very faster and all can be done in one html....However all the above apps are just uses the webui...Internally the APK inside they have only HTML files with one index file refers to several index files.

I'm looking for several navigation as like in the html or in the app for easy reading, search and navigate. Something similar or near to it in Tiddly wiki would be awesome...

Thanks

javaDev,

I think your question is still too abstract or unclear for us to help.

Arguably TiddlyWiki is all About navigating your content contained in your tiddlers. 

We know so many ways and I expect can "emulate any other way of navigating content" within tiddlywiki, the question you ask seems incomplete.

Are you actually referring to the links? eg;  ?id=message.of.the.hour

If so this is simple to reproduce with tiddlywiki.

Hi TW Jones,

I'm referring to the link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=message.qna where you can see the navigation and looking for a similar pattern in tiddly wiki.

Tiddlywiki - We need to see how we can show up the whole page with the navigation pattern. 

Thanks

By "navigation pattern", do you mean the bar near the top of that page that has Categories, Home, etc? Or are you specifically thinking of the Dropdown menu for Categories? Or do you want the search bar above a top menu? Or is there something you want from the card/entry, like the reviews or the install button? Like I said when you wrote me by email, and as others have said here already, you need to be more specific in what you want to do.

#1 - Search Bar on top to search for any keyword inside the content
#2 - Yes various categories ..Not a drop down...On click - it goes to the next level - multi-level - sub-level cateagories - finally content will be rendered
#3 - All the categories are non-collapsable menu - fixed 
#4 - This pattern is useful assume

Assume - A Single book has 2 main section -> 10 sub-sections -> 10 chapters in each sub-section -> Each Chapter would have 30 paragraphs -> Text would be rendered at last

Assume A Single book has 2 main section -> 10 sub-sections -> 10 chapters in each sub-section -> Text would be rendered on clicking the chapters if there are no paragrapahs

Like breadcrum model - faster and easy navigation......

The simple answer is yes you can do all of this in TiddlyWiki.

Your question as I understand it is too broad, and the answer too big please start by learning about the following
  • There is a core plugin you can add for building menus as seen on https://tiddlywiki.com
  • Review the use of the different table of contents macros as they demonstrate different navigation models.
  • Although aging now I did a menu plugin years ago but you can see how I made smart menu items https://tiddlywiki.psat.com.au/mymenus/
  • You can learn about popups and drop downs (there is a dropdown menu on tags you can customise with $:/tags/TagDropdown)
  • There is now a mechaisium for selectable layouts
  • There are special tags for the placement of content on different parts of the page eg $:/tags/TopLeftBar
Best of luck, do ask more questions as needed but we did find it difficult to answer this time. I think you may need to do a little more to illustrate what you are after. An annotated image, or list of elements are always helpful. Also if your questions are too big, and too uncertian, but have complex answers people may find it hard to find time to answer, and thus don't answer.

Regards
Tones

Hi Java

Here is a link to several "breadcrumb" plugins. Try those first. https://dynalist.io/d/zUP-nIWu2FFoXH-oM7L7d9DM#z=KCURrGnrBRPp0Ff8Vi7aKvWw

Enjoy!

Ton Gerners Tiddlersbar plugin is shown in the latest version. Ton Gerner has many wikis and always explaining very well how to do. So much to learn from them.

You will find many links to interesting but older plugins. Some works with the latest version - some not. Just drag and drop the plugin to your own wiki and test if it works. If it doesn't - you can try to ask the original author.

Java,

I suggest you decide what Toc suits you from here https://tiddlywiki.com/#Table-of-Contents%20Macros

My huge lot of options may seem confusing, the idea is to present the answers to your question, and of course you had no idea what my answer would be. The trick is when you get a comprehensive answer is to capture it and work through it when you have time or think it may contain an answer. We also write answers for others who may find your question in the future. 

My answers are the keys to possibilities, it is you who needs to choose which key you will try now, and it is worth documenting the keys until one day you discover which doors to open. In some ways it was your question that caused the number of answers, if you can ask more focused questions you will get more focused answers. Confusion is just knowledge you have not digested yet.
