NoteStormTW official home

[David Gifford]

Hello everyone,

http://notestorm.giffmex.org/ is now the official home for NoteStormTW. There is also a link there to an example file. I spent hours trying in vain to do an adequate tutorial video. I have discovered that is not one of my strengths. :-) So just play with NoteStormTW. I would love your feedback here.

Once TW 5.0.17 is released, I will upgrade the file, since there will be a breaking change (the StyleSheet tag). After that, NoteStormTW should be good to go.

Eventually I hope that NoteStormTW will become an official edition for TiddlyWiki, also available via GitHub. For now it is an 'unofficial user adaptation.'

Blessings,

Dave

NoteStormTW is now upgraded to 5.0.17. It should be good to use. Blessings!

I like it!

Lots of potential for multiple uses...

Hi Dave,

Really fantastic. I really liked the concept of this.

I would like to understand a few tricks though. I really liked having all the tiddlers listed in for a particular tag in the same tiddler. I was looking for this a long time. Can you please help me on this. Thanks!

Hi Shash

I use a list filter in $:/_aa/ViewTemplate/NoteList which is tagged with $:/tags/ViewTemplate so it will be appended to each the tiddler.

That way the tiddlers tagged with a tiddler's title and also tagged $:/Note appear in the notelist section at the bottom of the tiddler.

Each note is wrapped with textboxwhite CSS which is in my Stylesheet tiddler.

Hope that explanation helps.

Hi Dave,

Worked like a charm. One question however. Instead of transcluding the entire tiddler, is there anyway to transclude only 4-5 lines. 

Regards

Not a clue. Good question for a new thread.

Dave,

I see so many possibilities where this could be used!

One question - how can the sort order of the tiddler titles shown in 'Contents' be changed?  Seems to sort chronologically by created date. Cold that be changed to sort alphabetically by title? That would be helpful if using this as a client list, or any list where tiddler titles were more relevant than creation date.

Thanks 

Rick

Hi RickL

Change the sort order of any tiddler by creating a list field, and adding the tiddlers in the order you wish for them to be sorted.

I did not follow the thread, but this is a trick with which one can transclude the first 100 words of a tiddler.

Don't know whether it's useful for anyone.

<$list filter="[list[HelloThere!!text]limit[100]]"><<currentTiddler>> </$list>

Replace "HelloThere" with the tiddlername of your choice.

Replace "100" with the number of "words" you want transcluded.

Hello Dave,

Adding this to Notestrom has some great effects. You can limit the size of the transcluded tiddler. A big thanks to Euclay J for suggesting this. I would suggest you to test it.

<$list filter="[is[current]tagging[]tag[#ABC]sort[modified]]"><span class="textboxwhite"> <b>{{!!title}} </b>
    <div style="max-height:150px; overflow: hidden;">
        <$transclude/>
    </div>

<div class="alignright"><$link field="title"> &#10152;</$link></div></span></$list>

Regards

Hi Shash

Yes, that works nicely for what you want from it. Two comments:

1. My thinking for Notestorm was that the notes were for short items - quotes, one or two line ideas, etc. The notes are like the equivalent, in my mind, to bulleted lists. For longer items like articles I create a new regular tiddler in the next level down, rather than use notes for that.

2. In the snippet you gave me, the title appears above the content and the arrow appears below the content. This is somewhat redundant. It would be better to either remove the title part, paste any desired titles within the note tiddler content, and use the arrow if you need to navigate to the tiddler (that is how I use it), OR, remove the arrow part and reconfigure the title so it is a link. Either of those options would be more economical. I use the former option. The idea of the date and time stamp in the title bar is to save the user from having to think of a title for notes. Just paste content and save. And if your content has a title, you just add it at the top of the content and it shows. But the arrow at the bottom still gives you a way to get to the note in case you need to edit it.

Hope these observations are helpful in some way. At any rate, glad you are finding NoteStorm useful and that you have found a way to customize it for your needs.

Shash, here is an example of what I mean

http://recursos.giffmex.org/ester.html#Aspectos%20literarios%20de%20Ester

The first two notes are notes. The third 'note' just contains a link to a longer article which is also a tiddler tagged with "Aspectos literarios de Ester", but is not a note.
