Ressources for plugin development?

[enno.w...@gmail.com]

Hi, I'm looking to develop a plugin but it's difficult to find documentation for this.

So far I have found

  - http://tiddlywiki.com/static/PluginMechanism.html
  - https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/blob/master/editions/dev/tiddlers/from%20tw5.com/Developing%20plugins%20using%20Node.js%20and%20GitHub.tid

and mostly the code.

As for an actual question:

'Developing plugins using Node.js and GitHub' says that you should put plugins in './plugins/vendor/name' and the actual tiddlywiki repo indicates this.
But the way I read the code (https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/blob/v5.1.9/boot/boot.js#L1656) it doesn't look for sub-directories and looks for 'plugin.info' in './plugins/vendor'.
At the least that's what's happening when I get this error: 'Error: ENOENT, no such file or directory '/home/enno/dev/tiddlywiki-matth/plugins/ennoweichert/plugin.info''

I feel this information is so basic, it should be much more accessible. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me to pester you with these questions (and pester myself with the waiting time).

Hi Enno,
are you able to build any of the tiddlywiki standard plugins?

Enno - check out Andreas Hahns Tinka Plugin Packer. Links found here!

Please keep on asking if you need more help. Not that I necessarily can help you myself, but I just think we should do what we can to help people who want to get into delevlopment of TW and plugins.

We don't have much in the way of documentation on any of this. Maybe you could keep notes and make something?

The plugin.info files have paths like this: '/home/inmysocks/TiddlyWiki519/plugins/inmysocks/pluginname/plugin.info'

Every time I have gotten an error like that it is because the file isn't formatted correctly.

The thing that helped me the most when developing my Checklist Plugin was the TiddlyWiki Dev page. Learning about how the internals of TiddlyWiki worked gave me the background necessary to make sense of the code I was reading from other plugin developers and the core code.

Thanks for the replies and links.

I'm sorry for the dupe but I thought I had searched the messages beforehand.
