Lovin' 5.0.09!

[David Gifford]

I just wanted to go on record as saying that while there are a few hiccups that need to get ironed out, I am REALLY liking the new beta version of 5.0.09! Got my productivity TW and my image gallery TW changed over and they are vastly improved. Haven't done my note-taking TW yet, but I foresee improvements there too. Thanks Jeremy and gang!

Maybe we can use this thread to talk about how to take advantage of the new version. For example I have no idea of how add buttons to the new toolbars.

[David Gifford]

Hi Danielo, if you tag a tiddler $:/tags/TopLeftBar, you can add items to the topmenu.

I did add this CSS to my StyleSheet so that the topmenu doesn't overlap the top of the top tiddler:

html body.tw-body .story-river {margin-top:20px;}

I have a couple frequently opened tiddlers in the topmenu, and a tag pill that serves as a dropdown. With tabs in a tiddler you lose a lot of valuable vertical screen space, so replacing key tabs with links in the topmenu, you regain that lost space.

The hiding of the sidebar and the consequent expanding and contracting of tiddlers by clicking on the upper right  'hamburger' icon is great for viewing tiddlers with wide tables, wide images, and multicolumn 'masonry' image galleries, the latter item being one I mentioned in another thread. On tiddlywiki.com see the Articles tiddler to see an example of the masonry on display.

Hiding the sidebar is also nice for publishing materials on the Internet where you don't want to confuse viewers with the sidebar.

At first I was all excited about the advanced searches by filter. But it is not clear to me if you can actually "search" for anything that way, as in narrowing down the list by typing more text in the search window. It seems like just another way to see tags, missing, system, shadow, etc, which is what you see by opening the sidemenu tabs in the 'More' tab. Maybe someone can explain how to use that part of 5.0.09. Is it indeed possible to use those search filters to filter a search as you type?

Well, I need to get to bed, but at least that gives an idea of ways to use 5.0.09. Blessings

Thank you very much David!
I will try all that you explained. Do you have those things already implemented in any public wiki? I didn't get at all the feature present on the articles tiddler. I will check it twice.

Regards

[David Gifford]

Hi Danielo,

No, I won't be doing adaptations for TiddlyWiki until it gets out of beta. Too much hassle to try to maintain until I know it is going to be relatively stable.

What I wanted you to see in the articles tiddler is not the information but the format: those are tiddlers that are viewable in two columns of 'mini-tiddlers'. A list of tiddlers that display the title, subtitle and content, and surrounded by a border, and arranged in a format called masonry. I hacked the CSS for that to remove the border, whitespace, title and subtitle, so that my masonry only shows the tiddler content, and by clicking on the content one is taken to the tiddler. Then I used it to create a photo gallery: each tiddler has an image as its content, and is tagged, and in a gallery tiddler I have a two or three column list based on that tag that shows only the content of those tiddlers, so, only the images as a sort of thumbnail gallery. See here for my explanation https://groups.google.com/d/msg/tiddlywiki/kyO9VbH51e0/Dn_OFalc9KgJ

The idea of the filter tag is to perform several roles:

* to provide an environment for learning and experimenting with filter syntax

* a place for the core to provide less common lists than the ones in the sidebar

* as way to store custom searches by adding them to the dropdown (there should be a "+" button to do that)

Best wishes

Hi

Great release -- with the new hamburger button, printing is now no problem -- TW5 can now be used for reporting \o/

A question: does anyone know how to force a page feed when printing (print to pdf from the browser.) Currently I have to place a fenced block of blank lines, but the number of lines must be adjusted to match the content.

regards

[Jeremy Ruston]

Hi Matabele

You may be able to use the CSS property "page-break-before" to control page breaks:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/page-break-before

This works for me in Chrome:

<div style="page-break-before: always;"></div>

Maybe put that text in a tiddler called "pagebreak", then you can just use this:

{{pagebreak}}

Best wishes

Jeremy.

Hi

Thanks for that -- works like a charm (Chromium on Ubuntu) :-)

Hi

When printing, the hamburger icon remains visible on the pdf (all other control buttons on the tiddlers disappear.)

Question: how can the hamburger icon be changed? My though was to exchange this icon for a watermark logo - this would then appear in the top RH corner of the pdf in place of the hamburger.

Tags also appear on the pdf as text -- before printing it is necessary, therefore, to delete all tags. 

Question: is there a way to suppress the tags when printing to pdf?

regards

Hi

It would also be handy if, when switching to hamburger mode, in place of the '6 days ago' - this label displayed the date. A printed report showing '6 days ago' doesn't make much sense :-)

Is there a way to do this?

regards

Some CSS @media print { .tw-topbar { display:none; } } should take care of it. As far a s the switching, that's an idea, but I think I'd rather see a noprint or printonly class solution to that, where the html contained both, but one only shows up on print and the other everywhere else. Also, if you print with headers (sometimes you don't want to) it usually contains the current date and time.

You can of course customise the date format by modifying the shadow tiddler $:/core/ui/ViewTemplate/subtitle. We should make the date format be configurable, not least so that translations can provide a locale-specific format. I've created a ticket here:

https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/issues/571

Good thinking. I've updated the existing print stylesheet here:

Hi Jeremy

When I opened the shadow tiddlers in order to edit the stylesheet accordingly, I noticed this bug (only for long lists requiring a slider) -- makes accessing the slider difficult.

[Jeremy Ruston]

Hi Matabele

There is a ticket for the hamburger/scrollbar overlap problem:

https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/issues/561

Hi Arien

Many thanks -- fixes the display of the hamburger icon. Is it possible to erase the tag pills as well?

Hi

How can I modify the date formats for the ViewWidget? I have changed the format from 'relativedate' to 'date' -- but wanted 'DDth MMM YYYY'

17th April 2014

regards

[Matabele]

Hi

Silly me -- the whole report can be transcluded through a standard template for printing which itself has no tags.

Thanks everyone for your help.

regards

[Jeremy Ruston]

Hi Matabele

You need the "template" attribute. For example:

<$view format="date" template="DDth MMM YYYY"/>

I've just realised that the format strings aren't documented in TW5 yet; they are the same as in TWC, though:

http://classic.tiddlywiki.com/#%5B%5BDate%20Formats%5D%5D

I'll add documentation for TW5,

Best wishes

Jeremy

[Matabele]

Hi

Many thanks -- I was a TWC user but never saw the need to tinker with the code as there were numerous community TW versions and plugins to choose from. 

regards

[Danielo Rodríguez]

I just tried the paste from html and it is awesome!! This turns tiddlywiky in some kind of hackable Evernote. OK, the text is not very clean, but it is functional and very and identical to the original.

Keep up the good work!

[Matabele]

Hi Danielo

A couple of addons that I find useful for cleaning up and clipping HTML into TW:

* Evernote Clearly -- available for Firefox and Chrome 

* Copy HTML -- available only for Firefox

regards

[Danielo Rodríguez]

Hi Matabele,

I already know about Clearly, but I never thought about using it that way.

I don't know copy HTML but I don't use firefox.

Thank you for your suggestions!
