Tiddlywiki 5: Adding Plugins

[Ross Jacobs]

Hi all,

I've been having difficulty adding plugins in version 5. I was able to do it in TW classic, but I prefer v5 for the new updated look. 

I've tried all sorts of guides, and from what I understand, I need to give the plugin tiddler a title, tag it with "systemConfig", and the body of the tiddler must contain the concomitant source code. Additionally, I would need to redownload this new updated tiddlywiki and relaunch back into my browser to save the settings. However, when I look at $:/ControlPanel after doing this, I never see any added plugins. Is there something basic I'm missing here? Thanks!

Hi Ross
Importing a plugin is so much easier in TW5. Drag the link to the plugin you want to your own TiddlyWiki, drop it, and you will see an import tiddler. Import, save your wiki. You have to refresh before being able to use the plugin.

Hi Ross,
The systemConfig tag was needed for TiddlyWiki-classic. ...  This doesn't work anymore. The plugin mechanism in TW is different now. As Brithe wrote, dragging a plugin from one TW to the other should work now.

Saving and reloading is still needed.

Have a look at: http://tiddlywiki.com/#Plugins too.

have fun!

I forgot to mention, that TWc plugins don't work with TW5.

That's probably my problem. I've been trying to install classic plugins to TW5. How can you tell whether they are classic or not by looking at the source code?

And also, where can I find a collection of TW5 plugins (tiddlywiki valut seems to be mostly classic) ?.

There is no such collection like Eric's tiddlytools for TW5 (yet).

If you need to find something specific - ask on the group

Or browse through the group if you're just intereseted in what people deveoped.

Have a look at: http://tiddlywiki.com/#Community:Community%20Plugins

That's probably all at the moment.
