TW as a personal Database (my example)
Mike
student)
I think it is an example of how I use most of my TW's - a database of
information
could easily be adapted for wine, food, movies or any other personal
interest
I am pretty sure everything works (always open to improvement), tested
in FF3.5,

Not much to say, it's GREAT. I like the layout aaaand the data. The
only litte thing i noticed is: If you close the About tiddler, it is
hard to find the downloadbutton again.
Do you have such a detailed wine list too? :))
Quick load from file and save one tiddler with:
FF 3.6 - OK
Safari 4.0.3 - OK - no rounded cornes
Crome 4.0.249 - OK - no rounded cornes

about . . . (how did I miss that?)
I am working on a wine list, but not near as complete, especially
since my wife and haven't been drinking much wine since our baby was
born (almost 2 now)
If I ever get it a little farther I will post it also :P
My wife also suggested making a cookbook. . . same concept, might be a
while on that one though

Maybe you should consider doing some googling for any public databases
out there, e.g in excell form and then use one of the ELS import
plugins to convert to tiddlers?

I like the new color scheme for the books. The only thing I would add
is a way for a user to see all of the books in a single table. (Am I
missing something?)
I am trying my hand at writing a manual for TW. Something more
extensive than the existing documents and more integrated than the
tiddlywiki.org. I think your Cigar database is an excellent example of
what a TW database can be like. It's exotic - that makes it appeal to
the imagination, and its simple - that makes it a great basic example.
I hope you keep the site online so that I can link to it from my
manual (if you don't mind).
Kudos,
Xen.

thanks for the feedback, going to spend a few weeks working through
any bugs - then my sister will start adding books and maintaining that
TW.
As for the book list, initially I had that, but when you get over 100
entries the table takes a while to load, and it starts to get a little
overwhelming.
So I have opted to seggregate via personal rating (slider in menu on
left)
No plans of taking down my webserver :)
Have a good Day !

content over multiple tiddlers but seeing this is a table, you'd have
to split the table and keep some of the header and footer text
intact... perhaps the data plugins that were mentioned in the other
thread have a way of doing that.
Although, since every table row is on a newline, you could easily just
randomly split the tiddler and keep the rest of the data in memory,
but you'd have to first obtain all of the results and then pass this
content onto yourself with a call to <<tiddler self with: {{content}}
>>, but this wouldn't speed anything up and you would have to call the
macro from javascript (is that even easy to do?).
I would be interested to see if a transcluded tiddler can tranclude
itself, that is, if you could open the tiddler with (or without) some
parameters and that tiddler would then recursively refresh its own
display with new contents through the <<tiddler>> macro.
A data plugin should be able to refresh its grid control without
opening any new tiddlers.
You could also simply limit the display to the first 30 entries. It's
odd to have a database that you cannot browse, but that will change as
you populate it ;).

By am I glad to hear that. I'd be willing to pay for one.
