(TWC) Treeview menu in updated NoteStorm

[KML]

I'm a new poster seeking a classic TW adaptation similar to NoteStorm or maybe just a tweak to NoteStorm 1.0.1.

I've used NoteStorm 1.0 (based on TW version 2.5.3) in Firefox for a few years and would like to update since various backstage parts including SaveAs and Import stopped working at some point. NoteStorm 1.0 appealed to me because of it's simplified formatting and the multi-level, hierarchical Treeview left-hand menu. Dave Gifford updated NoteStorm to version 1.0.1 (based on TW version 2.8.0) but that version appears to no longer offer the Treeview menu.

Do any of you have suggestions on how to simply recover the Treeview lefthand menu in NoteStorm 1.0.1?

Alternatively, is it reasonable to import all of tiddlers that make up NoteStorm 1.0 onto the latest TW core? I've never done something this ambitious in TW and would welcome guidance if that approach is recommended.

Just for context, I made minor formatting tweaks to the first version of NoteStorm to make it easier to read on an Android phone using AndTidWiki and hope to do the same for an updated version. I have looked at TWT-Notes but it is based on an older version of TW (2.4.3) and also seems to have import issues.  Lastly, I need something stable and plan to import abegoExtensions such as DataTiddlerPlugin, so I'm hesitant to jump to TW5 beta right now.

Thanks,

Kevin

Hi Kevin,

Glad to hear you have gotten good use out of an old project of mine. I grew disenchanted with the treeview function for some reason, and changed NoteStorm around at that point. But it is still a nice feature.

First, for you or for anyone helping you, here is a new address for the treeview version: http://www.giffmex.org/NoteStorm(oldtreeviewversion).html

Second, here are a couple other old treeview alternatives on TW Classic

I would try doing as you say, Kevin, transferring tiddlers from any of the three options above to the latest version of TWC and see how it goes. Let us know how you go. I am really busy for the next few days, but if it doesn't work for you, I am willing to give it a try for you when I get caught up. Post as a reply on this thread and I will see it as an email.

By the way, if anyone wants to take ANY of my old TW classic resources to host and keep them updated to the new version, or alternatively, update them and send them to me to upload to my site, please feel free to do so. I have totally invested in TW5 and have no plans to keep up the TWC resources. But I can always upload them if someone upgrades a copy. And I am also not protective of these resources. They are for the TW community to do as it wishes with them.

Blessings,

Dave

Dave,

Thanks for your advice and posting the address for the treeview version of NoteStorm. The import of 139 tiddlers (without SiteTitle and SiteSubtitle) from it into TWC v. 2.8.1 was successful. I was then able to import other plugins including the DataTiddlerPlugin, so that is all looking positive. Only minor item I've noticed so far is that the backstage saveAs option generates a permission error in Firefox (although I have the TiddlyFox add-in), but I can easily save the file via the Firefox menu. In fact, I see that saveAs doesn't appear in the backstage of the 2.8.1 core.

Just need to do a little reformatting (narrowing sidebars) and compacting of buttons to better fit my Android phone screen and I'll be done.

Thanks again for your help and all you've contributed to TiddlyWiki.
