How to publish a plugin?

[Roel Vanhout]

Hi all,

I've gotten my plugin, to show videos in tiddlywiki with extra functionality so that I can use tiddlywiki for video analysis and annotation, working. I've done this by putting my code and assets in tiddlers in a standalone tiddlywiki, which I view through 'timimi' (I used to rename my tiddlywikis to .hta and run them self contained, but I needed a debugger and dom inspector to develop my plugin, and now I've grown to like them in a browser tab).

All information I can find on plugins is when you develop them with a node server. I'm wondering if someone can point me to a way to 'export' the relevant tiddlers in a way so that I can 'import' them into other tiddlywikis. I'm hoping I don't have to manually copy and paste the relevant tiddlers?

cheers,

roel

I am on mobile. But search this group for a plugin called "tinka". It is a plugin that will help you make other plugins

I would really love to test such functionality. Tinka is a good option. Here is the official documents on how to pack a plugin-tiddler in the browser. Once packed, it appears a a plugin in the wiki and can be exported just like any other tiddler.

The poor-mans-plugin-way is to merely give all the relevant tiddlers a common tag. You can then use this tag as a handle to drag'n drop them as a group.

Thanks all. The pointer to the Tinka plugin was especially useful. Although it's maybe telling that I hadn't found that myself, despite literally hours of googling, including (in the beginning) explicitly for 'tiddlywiki plugin tutorial' and variations on that. And if it's linked to from tiddlywiki.com somewhere, I didn't find it. I do have some thoughts (both as a software developer and as a fresh user who's trying to do some what I'd think would be at worst medium hard customizations to fit a specific workflow) on overall usability and documentation, but it seems from the copious other messages on this list that this is actively being addressed and that my notes wouldn't really add any value. And I don't want to come across as ungrateful either - I understand how things got to where they are, but I have good hopes that Tiddlywiki will be a great tool that will do what I want much better than all the other tools I have tried over the years and that some temporary frustration will soon be forgotten. So thanks to the developers (and I don't mean that in a damning with faint praise way :) ).

Anyway, I have my plugin now working and polished enough to be quite satisfactory for my own use. If anyone is interested in trying it, it can be downloaded from https://www.dropbox.com/s/fsrk9ltg3z867x1/%24%20_plugins_rvanhout_videoelement.tid?dl=0 . There is a readme in there that explains how to use the macro it provides, but there is also a button in the editor toolbar to insert a stub macro invocation, much more convenient.

(for completeness and for those who hadn't been reading along - what this plugin does is it provides a way to include videos in your tiddlers, collapsed by default, and it lets you set a starting time stamp in the video; so if you're analyzing video(s), you can keep notes on what happens at various points in time in the video)

cheers

Tinka is a very important part of the Tiddlywiki development flow. However it is also a third party plugin. If someone hypothetically writes a tutorial, will it be accepted to tiddlywiki.com? The underlying question becomes what is the ideal criteria to select tutorials to the Tiddlywiki site? There are lot of third party plugins and it is unfair to accept tutorial about one and not about other.

Roel,

Actually Tinka description and link can be found on tiddlywiki.com But it is always easier if you know that you are searching for ;-)

Riz,

I know it does not help us now, but when Tinka was first created Andreas Hahn had a wiki page collecting tips for tiddlywiki - some of David Giffords creations of the time tutorials and one for Tinka.

Tutorials are always good. But the biggest trouble using Tinka is to get started as I feel it helps us while creating  at least to some degree.

The underlying question becomes what is the ideal criteria to select tutorials to the Tiddlywiki site? There are lot of third party plugins and it is unfair to accept tutorial about one and not about other.

It would not be fair and lots of tutorials are needed for Tiddlywiki.com.

Mahalo (thanks!) for sharing!

It seems you are using the same library as TheDiveO's TwTube plugin. It might be worth comparing how you are both using the library.
