MiniPedia Released

[FLX]

Hey TiddlyWiki community,

I created a Wikipedia clone out of TiddlyWiki. I think it's great to
get a more mediawiki like behavior when it comes to documenting all
kinds of ideas and projects. Please check it out and give me some
feedback, thanks!

Dennis,

It looks good.

I think it can be extended to operate more like the media wiki with a description, contents and insert and display of sections (with and option to edit each section) quite easily.

I few of my own tiddlywiki customisations will help with this so If I get some holidays soon I will try and piece some ideas together.

Good work

TonyM

If you have not found an easy way to do it with TiddlyWiki, you have missed something.

Yup, nice, but why not add a few functions that will make it better?
Maybe I am too much of a nuub, or missed it, but I would like to have
a simple menu or search boxt that would allow me to restrict the
homepage listing to a particular group of entries (via a Tag I
guess). For example, I keep a wiki with list of commands for several
drawing packages I use... it would be really really nice if I could
select on the homepage with a click or entring one key word, only the
tiddly entries that have to do with one design package... Right now I
can do that by editig the homepage and adding a tag to the tiddler
list selection, but it would be nice if that was easier...
Thanks,
Grant

Hi Dennis

Thank you very much for sharing.
It is a very straightforward vertical - you have made some very good
choices and I like it a lot.
For the first time I'm *not* tempted to install YourSearch or
GoToPlugin to enhance searching.
It all feels welltempered and I'm sure newcommers to TiddlyWiki will
be able to use it straight away!
Congratulations with a job well done!

I've been so inspired by it's mere simplicity, that I have translated
it into Danish - and added some more or less radical plugins - to
enhance what I felt was the spirit of MiniPedia ...

I added Tobias Beer's cycleTagsPlugin to be able to toggle between
Featured, sysfile - or none from the toolbar
Eric Shulmanns QuickeditPluginPackage, ImageSizePlugin,
StyleSheetShortcuts, AttachFilePackage, NestedSlidersPlugin,
UnsavedChangesPlugin - Simon Baird's RenameTagsPlugin and BidiX's
UploadPlugin and PasswordOptionPlugin to be able to save MiniPedia
online.

You can see a Danish version of MiniPedia here: http://mmpedia.tiddlyspot.com

Again thanks for sharing.

Btw - It would be great if we could have a plugin for loading
WikiPedia content into this TW on the fly. Run a WikiPedia search
inline, get titles with checkboxes to choose from - for temporary load
- and the ability to save those that are relevant ...
I know that there is a plugin - but it seems not to be working very
well in a standard TW??

Hi again -
I forgot to mention a few minor bugs (however I believe they are bugs
so please bear with me - if they are inot)
In Google Chrome the toolbar wraps into two lines - this is not the
behaviour in FF.
In Google Chrome and in FireFox when in editmode, the editwindow
shrinks and the toolbarbuttons seems to be where a SideBarOptions
element would be - to the right... I believe these settings have to be
set in the StyleSheet tiddler...

Thanks for all the kind words and wow, a Danish version, good work
Måns! Glad to see people like the idea.
For the next version I'm looking into iphone/ipod touch compatibility,
but for that I'll need to find a way to include or exclude content
from the layout based on the browser. Does anyone know a efficient way
of doing this within TiddlyWiki?

Thanks,

Dennis

Create alternative templates and stylesheets as needed for different
platforms.

Then define a set of 'systemTheme'-tagged tiddlers that reference the
appropriate combinations of templates and stylesheets.

Then, create a small 'systemConfig'-tagged tiddler with a little bit
of javascript code, to set the desired theme at startup, like this:

if (... test for a specific browser...)
config.options.txtTheme = "ThisBrowserTheme";
else if (... test for another browser...)
config.options.txtTheme = "OtherBrowserTheme";
else if (... test for yet another browser...)
config.options.txtTheme = "ThirdBrowserTheme";

etc.

enjoy,

Eric, how would you test for a specific browser? Since javascript is
being used you can't simply do it by headers like php. Could you do me
a favor and complete the sample that you've made? It would help me out
a lot.

Thank you in advance.

Dennis
