Hello guys,

I started integrating Tiddlymap inside Drift and I think I need help (if you want to) testing it.

Attaching the an empty version here for you to play with and test

please DO NOT put any data here without backup first I do not want to be responsible for any potential data loss for whatever reason

Please DO  load your data (after backup) play with it and tell me how it behaves

it should be able now to handle all features of TWCrossLinks

  • Backlinks
  • Freelinks
  • Keywords
  • Tags
Thank you

My two pence worth: Do be wary of feature creep and keep TiddlyMap an optional part of Drift.

Tony K,

I seem to have trouble reading warnings....;-D I went ahead and dropped all my tiddlers into it. And it does find the tiddlers and the connections. It looks great. Nice job.
On my screen I have a large map and a very pressed tiddler to the right. That is just my screen, but still it does not feel handy to have the pagecontrols so far away in the left corner now.

I could get used to tiddlymap working like this.

Personally tiddly map was not useful for me but this solves a problem i had with TWcrosslinks of not able to see what text is freelinked (like freelinked text is highlighted in freelinks plugin). Also for which i was using both plugins at same time but now i dont need to use it. 

Tested it. Works as it should, just the sidebar glitches when map is loading data, it moves back n forth a little.

I hope you make it a plugin like TWcrosslinks or a addon for TiddlyMap

Hello Saq

your input is always appreciated and yes it will be a optional add-on

Hello Brithe

thanks for the feedback and I am glad you didn't lose data (yet) but I know you made a few backups before :D

 That is just my screen, but still it does not feel handy to have the pagecontrols so far away in the left corner now.

can you please clarify a bit more this? maybe a screenshot would help

thanks

Hello SizzlinSJ

Tested it. Works as it should, just the sidebar glitches when map is loading data, it moves back n forth a little.

any chance u can share a video of that? it doesn't happen here so I am wondering

I hope you make it a plugin like TWcrosslinks or a addon for TiddlyMap

Next phase is to have it in Drift, but it might be possible to do it independently didn't think a lot about it yet

Cheers

Tony K,

I only meant, that it was a long way to go with the mouse, to save, create new tiddler and all that.

Sorry Tony M,

I am an IDIOT. I can just set the sidebar width for a more balanced view.

I did test it again but I think it was scroll bar of side bar which at specific size of browser window appears and disappears rapidly. But now i am not able to find the exact size it happens.

optional addon on TWcrosslinks page would be great.

Hi Tony,

The map lacks display options for other views. I cannot switch between live view and custom view.

Thanks

大家好,

我开始将Tiddlymap集成到Drift中,我想我需要帮助(如果您想测试)。

在此处附加一个空版本,供您使用和测试

不要在没有备份的情况下先将任何数据放在这里我不希望由于任何原因对任何潜在的数据丢失负责

务必   加载您的数据(备份后),并告诉我它的行为

它现在应该能够处理TWCrossLinks的所有功能

@Tony K: This was very useful, thank you for trying this out. As a newbie, I wasn’t able to get the TiddlyMap layout to work with Drift on my own.

I loved the half-screen mode — it fixes some of the vertical scrollbar issues that tend to show when you hover on buttons.

I’m curious if you made any more progress here, or if you’re not pursuing the map integration any further? I didn’t see any mention of this alpha on the main site/Todo/changelog etc.
