Hello,

I'm happily using Mocha theme since yesterday and made a few minor
color and layout changes.

One thing I'd like to modify still is out of my little knowledge.

Instead of being displayed in a column on the right side of the
tiddler, I'd rather see the tags in a row starting from the upper left
corner of the tiddler (above its title).
I've seen this arrangement somewhere but can't recall it (a Tiddlywiki
mod ? a plugin ?).

Please how to set them this way ?

It looks like TagglyTaggingPlugin has to do with the tags arrangement
but importing it (then save & reload) doesn't help.

Any idea ?

http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#FAQ_RepositionTagDisplay

The instructions in this FAQ article tell you how to modify the
ViewTemplate to put the tags on a row *below the tiddler content*. To
place them *above the tiddler title*, you will need to reposition the
"<div class='tagged'... " line accordingly.

Thank you, Eric.

I do not have a ViewTemplate tiddler but a PageTemplate one. I guess
they act the same so I'll aplly the modifications into it.

ViewTemplate and PageTemplate are *not* the same:
* PageTemplate defines the layout of the whole TW page.
* ViewTemplate defines the layout of each individual tiddler within
the 'story column'

... and you *do* have a ViewTemplate... every TW document has one...

Look in the More>Shadowed tab in the sidebar to find the built-in
default ViewTemplate. Then open and modify that tiddler. When you
press 'done', a "real" tiddler called ViewTemplate will then exist,
containing the customized template definition.

enjoy,

Great, I followed your instructions and just had to add a <br> so the
title starts wedged on the left.

TiddlyWiki is terrific and so you are, as all the other cool and
helpful people around here!


A (very) minor cosmetic annoyance around tags yet that I can live with
and failed to correct :
I'd like to get rid of the "tags:" mention opening each row of tags. I
mean I know words there are tags :)

Create a new tiddler called [[ConfigTweaks]], tagged with
'systemConfig' (i.e., make it a plugin tiddler), containing this one
line of javascript code:

config.views.wikified.tag.labelTags="";

Save-and-reload your document (so the code above can be applied). The
"tags: " text should be gone.

Thanks again.
