Idea: Log tiddlers

[Mohammad]

In Tiddler Commander, when working with tiddlers (rename, delete, add/remove fields), it creates a log tiddler on any

operation. A log tiddler here is a conventional tiller has special tag and title and includes a timestamp and list of tiddlers

undergone an operation (like delete). The problem here is the WIKI soon or late will have a lot of log -tiddlers,

So, I need a mechanism to overcome this issue, I thought, when Commander needs to create a new log tiddler, it can

• Count the log tiddlers
• Solution I: Delete the last one if number of log tiddlers exceeds certain max-limit and then create a new log tiddler
• Solution II: Delete all previous log tiddlers and start again

I appreciate to give me your idea, comment on this

Mohammad,

I built a log system using a single data tiddler. Would you like me to share that as an alternate method?

Tony

[Mohammad]

Sure, please!

I really eager to know how we can do this with minimum consequences on the whole Wiki.

Mohammad,

Install attached in a Wiki and have a look.

The key trick was putting more data in the value and keeping the key as the data time stamp. See log here to see how the details of the log entry carry links to tiddlers.

PS,

I have asked Joshua of JSON fame, to have a look at my suggestion to pack and unpack multiple tiddlers in a single json tiddler, because I think this can also help here. You could store before tiddlers in a permanent or temp location as well as drive copies of whole tiddlers into a log. (In the Trash Bin Idea)

Regards

Its excellent.

It brings up what a log is FOR?

Is it for "information" only? 

Or can I choose an item from the log to re-populate TC again with those options?

For instance ... "sfx-added" doesn't indicate WHAT was added, only the target that was added to.

Just a thought

Hello Josih,

 At the moment is only for information. But it is in the wish list

to save batch operations to repeat! It is not very difficult but needs coding!

Mohammad,

You are a windmill of great things!

Grazie, J.

[Mohammad]

That is very kind of you Josiah!

Actually I learn and get ideas from great people like you in this forum.

Mohammad, 

This is another great idea! I'd just like to mention that VC control systems have this concept of a log also built in! With this idea and your other fantastic trash can idea, all towards an UNDO mechanism, your building the major parts of a serious VC system and I applaud you!
