TW5: Importing plugins

[Jay Frase]

I just upgraded from Classic to TW5 and I can't figure out how to import plugins from other sites.  What's the trick?

Hi,

TW classic plugins are not compatible with TW5.

To install TW5 plugins, it is enough to drag and drop the corresponding tiddlers to your TW.

There's a plugin at http://bjhacks.tiddlyspot.com/#ExtendableCalendar that I want.  How do I drag it to my wiki?

Drag and drop the link "$:/plugins/bj/Calendar" from bjhacks to your TW5.

Hi

A reminder (I had this wrong when I started out):

-- after dropping the plugin onto your TW5

-- save your TW5

-- then refresh the page in your browser

New plugins do not become activated until loaded into the browser.

Wow...I'm just not grokking this.  when I drag links over and drop them on the file in File Manager it just creates a shortcut to the webpage.  when I drop it on the page of the browser that has my wiki open it just creates a new tiddler with the tittle of "Untittled" and the body of it contains a hyperlirked url text.

what am I missing here?

Hi Ken,

Which TW version do you use?
You can use the <<version>> macro to see the TW version.

It depends on the "type" of links, that you drag and drop. .. If you drag a tiddler, it should create a new tiddler. If you drag content from other web pages, it depends on the type of the content you selected. So it may be a text tiddler, an image link or even the image content.

version is 5.0.13-beta
what I did was grab the link above and drag it around.  I went to the page and it opened up the tiddler.  I grabbed the link under the 'open' tab and pulled it to my tw and it made a new tiddler.  I saved and reloaded but the shortcuts don't work for me because I don't think I actually have the plugin just the tiddler.

any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong?

[Ken Gray]

ok wait I figured it out!  I need to click the link and go to his tw.  then INSIDE his tiddler is the link that I drag.

thanks!

Hi Ken,

The slight confusion is semantic, I think. By "tiddler" we refer to the individual wiki entries, not to the document as a whole. Practically everything in TiddlyWiki is a Tiddler, including plugins.

The easiest place to find all the plugins installed in a particular TW is from the plugins tab of the control panel, from where you can drag them across.

Regards,

Richard
