Hi

When I open a tiddler for editing, the pink banner "Can you help us improve this documentation? Find out how to edit this tiddler on GitHub" also appears. Is there a way to turn this off?

Hi Steve,

If you download an 'empty' version the banner is not there.
If you download a 'full' version the banner is there. I think it is a bug; I'll create a ticket.

To get rid of the banner:

Find $:/editions/tw5.com/EditTemplate/Sources and delete it.
Now the banner is gone.

Cheers,

Ton

Hi Steve,
This banner is only there at tiddlywiki.com if you download an empty version, there is no banner.

Thanks. Problem solved!
BTW: I did download the full version in order to get the additional documentation.

Hi,

In the meantime something has changed.
Just delete $:/ContributionBanner

Hi All
I’m a newbie
I too am having the banner problem.

I deleted $:/ContributionBanner
But I cannot find $:/editions/tw5.com/EditTemplate/Sources at all.
Banner still present.

Would anyone have any ideas please?
Thank you all so much for your work and this terrific tool.
Best wishes
Stuart

Hi Stuart,

Create a tiddler containing:

!!! Shadow tiddlers + 'normal' tiddlers
<<list-links filter:"[all[shadows+tiddlers]tag[$:/tags/EditTemplate]]">>

<hr>

!!! Shadow tiddlers incl. overridden shadow tiddlers
<<list-links filter:"[all[shadows]tag[$:/tags/EditTemplate]]">>

For a fresh downloaded empty.html you get with this filter tiddler:

Shadow tiddlers + 'normal' tiddlers

  • $:/core/ui/EditTemplate/controls
  • $:/core/ui/EditTemplate/title
  • $:/core/ui/EditTemplate/tags
  • $:/core/ui/EditTemplate/shadow
  • $:/core/ui/ViewTemplate/classic
  • $:/core/ui/EditTemplate/body
  • $:/core/ui/EditTemplate/type
  • $:/core/ui/EditTemplate/fields

Shadow tiddlers incl. overridden shadow tiddlers

  • $:/core/ui/EditTemplate/controls
  • $:/core/ui/EditTemplate/title
  • $:/core/ui/EditTemplate/tags
  • $:/core/ui/EditTemplate/shadow
  • $:/core/ui/ViewTemplate/classic
  • $:/core/ui/EditTemplate/body
  • $:/core/ui/EditTemplate/type
  • $:/core/ui/EditTemplate/fields

It gives all 8 tiddlers that create the Edit template.

The same filter tiddler in your wiki will list the same tiddlers + an extra tiddler containing the pink banner "Can you help us improve this documentation? ...

If this extra tiddler is in the first list it is a normal tiddler:
  1. Click the link of that extra tiddler
  2. Check it is the pink banner tiddler
  3. Delete that extra tiddler

If this extra tiddler is in both lists it is a shadow tiddler. A shadow tiddler cannot be deleted but can be overridden:
  1. Click the link of that extra tiddler
  2. Check it is the pink banner tiddler
  3. Open the tiddler
  4. Delete the tag $:/tags/EditTemplate
  5. Save the tiddler

That's it.
Hope that helps.

Cheers,

Ton
