@TonGerner: Great plugins for top menu & other things! A few questions...

[stevesuny]

@TonGerner: Great plugins in http://tongerner.tiddlyspot.com/. 

I'm using many of them (including your color scheme!) in a wiki I'm using for a presentation tomorrow at a conference. 

I have a few questions about how to change things in my wiki --  TiddlyWiki for Web Archivists.

(1) How would I put the title of the wiki in the top right bar (I have no buttons there anymore).

(2) How do I control the sort order of tiddlers tagged to elements in topmenu? (tiddler: 

$:/plugins/tongerner/topmenu/topmenu)

(3) Any thoughts about how to manage the CSS in https://designwritestudio.updog.co/projects/resaw-iipc/tiddlywiki-for-webarchivists.html#Hypertext%20%26%20TiddlyWiki?

Thanks!

That's great, I feel honoured.

You can tag $:/SiteTitle with $:/tags/TopRightBar
If you want a bigger font use something like:

@@font-size: 2em;TiddlyWiki for Web Archivists@@

(2) How do I manage the sort order of tiddlers tagged to elements in topmenu? (tiddler: 

$:/plugins/tongerner/topmenu/topmenu)

 

I think you mean the order of the menu items.
At the moment the menu items are sorted alphabetically.
You can change this as follows:
Open $:/plugins/tongerner/topmenu/menu-template
Change the line

<$list filter="[all[current]tagging[]]" template="$:/core/ui/ListItemTemplate"/>

to

<$list filter="[all[current]tagging[]sort[order]]" template="$:/core/ui/ListItemTemplate"/>

and add to all menu item tiddlers a field 'order' containing the item position. The the menu items are then sorted according to the number in the order field.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,

Ton

Thanks!!! I can't tell you how much I appreciate that, and how much your plugins have helped me reconceptualize the way a tiddlywiki can look and feel. I'm optimistic this approach will help my audience consider using it for their projects (which is, of course, the purpose of the talk...). //steve.

Hi Steve,

One correction:

<$list filter="[all[current]tagging[]sort[order]]" template="$:/core/ui/ListItemTemplate"/>

must be (note nsort):

<$list filter="[all[current]tagging[]nsort[order]]" template="$:/core/ui/ListItemTemplate"/>

Cheers,

Ton

Hi Steve,

Lateron I thought the new drag & drop must be possible for the menu items
As a quick fix you can replace the contents of $:/plugins/tongerner/topmenu/menu-template by the contents of $:/core/ui/TagTemplate which adds the drag & drop possibility.

Cheers,

Ton
