[Plugin] Dropboard 1.0.0 — Kanban like organization in the style of Trello using boards, lists, and cards.

[Reid Gould]

Dropboard 1.0.0

Dropboard version 1 has arrived! It is now safe, stable, and ready for use as a permanent installation in your wikis.

See the source on GitHub:

https://github.com/reidgould/tiddlywiki-dropboard

Learn from the examples and documentation in the User Guide:

http://reidgould.github.io/tiddlywiki-dropboard

Here's a quick overview of the major features.

Kanban like organization in the style of Trello using boards, lists, and cards... But better! 

Dropboard has:

• Full integration with TiddlyWiki. Drag any tiddler into a board.
  
• Collapsible lists that you can still drag cards into.
• Lots of features to improve workflow and setup the view of your board to be just right for the task at hand.

View and edit a huge amount of data at once using window mode and scaling down your font size.

A full Trello style palette for TiddlyWiki called TWello!

Dropboard has been made completely by myself on my own time, and it's taken quite a lot of it! The reason I spent the time to complete this project is to be a key part of my design portfolio as I transition my career into Software Engineering. 

I have a list of features that I would love to add to create a Dropboard version 2.0.0, but unfortunately this is all the time I can spend on this project for free. If you're interested in supporting the next version of this plugin you can support me on Patreon.

Reid,

Thanks so much for this seriously valuable solution. Thanks also for inviting feedback and responding. I see specifically it is working with Generic "lists" as a result it is all the more powerful.

As you suggested with the TableOfContents I have also dropped

$:/tags/ViewTemplate

on a board as a list to reorder the way a tiddler is displayed with my viewtemplate addons

I can also build a board from existing tags and what they tag

I will keep learning, thanks so much.

Tony

Hi Reid,

Thanks for sharing this great tool.

The switch between the two styles is miraculous.
The whole concept of the drag-and-drop GUI is fantastic. 
Bringing the kanban concept to TW is great.

I think you are now a hot candidate for a "TW-Oscar-2017" (that would be a tiny statue of a cat, standing on a green ball)

Thank You again.

Pit

PS: and of course, thanks to the owner of the cat.

Hi Reid,
Can you help me get started with this? When I click on http://reidgould.github.io/tiddlywiki-dropboard it just brings me to the github page. Ie. Not a tiddlywiki???
Thanks
Peter

[Yang Wen-Ming]

I suffered the same situation, too.

Hi Peter and Yang,

Thanks for alerting me to the problem. I made a mistake with my DNS settings this weekend. The issue should be fixed now, please clear your browser cache and try again.

If it still doesn't work or if you have any other questions to get started, let me know.

Only the best for you and your wikis,

Thanks Reid,  I did ipconfig /flushdns. But it is still not working for me. I am now up and running with DropBoard in my personal wiki, and I have the user manual working via nodejs. But it would be nice to have a hard-link to the usermanual.

One additional question. Is there a way to use a caption as the display name for list titles rather than the full name of the tiddler? The traditional caption attibute didn't seem to work for me.

[Reid Gould]

Peter,

There was also an HTTP redirect involved which could have been cached by the browser. It's now working on my devices. If anyone else is reading, can we get another party to confirm?

I ultimately decided not to use "caption" in favor of a new field "shorttext", which is one of the text fields seen in the card edit template. The main TiddlyWiki docs describe "caption" as "The text to be displayed on a tab or button." On a conceptual level, "shorttext" is a second field of content where "caption" is more like metadata. In practice, cards tend to have more text than would make sense by the above description, and the final straw was the decision to support inline wiki styles which wouldn't be appropriate to store in "caption" at all. 

In a future version, I would consider adding display of "caption" to the card, but it would be along side the current way "shorttext" display takes priority over "title". Feel free to open a GitHub issue if you like.

If you want to hack in something to use for yourself, overriding "$:/plugins/reidgould/dpbd/templates/view/CardMacros" is the place to start.

You can find more information about "shorttext" in the User Guide.

ah yep. Got it. This is thoroughly excellent by the way.

[Reid Gould]

Release 1.0.1 is live. 

It fixes an issue ( https://github.com/reidgould/tiddlywiki-dropboard/issues/3 ) seen in TiddlyDesktop where cards overlap in lists that are long enough to scroll.

Hi!  I recently gave DropBoard a try.  Very Clever!  

I posted the question to the group regarding the Fold/Unfold borders on your demo's tiddlers.  Would you mind sharing how that is done?  Your site is the only example I've seen of it.

I incorporated Dropboard with as many useful plugins I could find, as experiment to learn and see how stable customizing TiddlyWiki is in doing so.  

One "incompatibility" I came across is with TiddlyMap's plugins.  The TopStoryRiver plugin seems to affect Dropboard and cause a JavaScript error (took a little narrowing down).  Although, now I have TopStoryView disabled and both appear to be functioning (today).  Prior tests disabled resulted in TiddlyMap's live view displaying blank.  Enabled TopStoryView, DropBoard manipulation would result in a JavaScript error.

Otherwise, I can confirm there's no issue with virtually anything else (and I installed alot of 'em! haha..impractical for everyday use).

Heh...nevermind - I found the fold-bar in the control panel!

Release 1.0.2

Fixed a display error when using fixed-fluid layout where cards are too wide.

Hello Reid

I seek desperately help with the installation of your plugin under node.js.

I installed node on an ArchLinux machine. On top of node.js tiddlywiki is working fine including the plugin tiddlymap.

However, I don't manage to follow your brief instructions in your github repo. I would therefore appreciate you could point out instructions for someone who just managed to installed tiddlywiki under node.

Which folder do I have to `sudo clone https://github.com/reidgould/tiddlywiki-dropboard.git` into?

When I `cd` into that folder and try to `npm install` I only get error messages. Therefore I cannot continue with `npm run` either.

My questions might sound clumsy to you. But my knowledge is limited regarding node and running tiddlywiki under node. I would really appreciate some guidance.

Kind regards

Dominik

It says 4 ways. ... Only 1 is needed. ... -> IMO you should go with the 2nd.

OMG, Thank you!

Good evening Mario

Thank you very much for your swift reply. My intention is to make one copy of the plugin available trough node for all my tiddlywikis and to overcome updating each tiddlywiki one by one. For tiddlymap I followed the second option in these instructions: https://github.com/felixhayashi/TW5-TiddlyMap#Installation.

Do you know of a way for me to do that with the plugin of dropboard?

Best regards

Dominik

Reid,

Love your work and thanks for the update. 

I noticed the alert when a Tiddler is already in the story river, I would love to see this as an independent plugin or incorporated into the core.

I will revisit your DropBooard soon in detail. I will also promote its features again, I recall how you responded to my feedback in the past, thanks.

• Initial feedback, On selecting the TWello style, I got quite a fright, perhaps it needs to go into a single tiddler mode or something

I plan to contribute something to you for your work, patreon is normally regular donations, do you have an opportunity for one off donations? I find it hard to monitor outgoings with regular payments, its easier to do an annual donation.

Regards

Tony
