STROLL UPDATE 12-31-2020

[David Gifford]

Hi everyone

I updated the Stroll site, and the empty Stroll site, to TiddlyWiki version 5.1.23, and added the following:

I updated the Relinks and link-to-tabs plugins for both.

I fixed the problem with the close and delete buttons not working.

I originally was going to kill the functionality that created missing tiddlers when saving changes after editing tiddlers. I changed my mind and updated it so it is still there.

I also added the editor-autolists plugin and a new way to view references: as vertical tabs.

After you have upgraded your Stroll site to TW v 5.1.23, please go to https://giffmex.org/stroll/stroll.html#Welcome%20to%20Stroll and drag the tag pill there to your file and save changes and reload. That should be all you need.

Happy New Year to everyone! Enjoy your updated and enhanced Stroll.

Dave Gifford

P.S. One problem I still have is that the Close others and Fold others buttons in the more menu do nothing. After poking around, I have no idea what is causing that. Would anyone here be willing to have a look?

Hey Dave: You work fast, man!  So: i took the yellow pill as recommended -this time it took awhile to do its thing- saved, rebooted... But i'm not seeing any diffs.

Am not sure what diffs i should see, since i already did the incremental fix you provided for the Edit form... But, for one thing, the list of "How to view References" is unchanged, i.e.

Choose how to view references:

 Full text
 Full text under sliders
 Hidden
 Highlights in context
 Simple links

... So if there's supposed to be a new "vertical tabs" view, then shall i take it to mean that my upgrade didn't work?

NB:  i'm using TiddlyDesktop version 0.0.13 to manage this index.html file... And, via this interface, i don't see any "Close others" / "Fold others' options.  In fact if i those buttons were ever there, i would not have noticed, because i have not used nor ever sought such functions (ignorance is bliss in this case :-)

Hi ludwa

I just downloaded an empty TW from https://tiddlywiki.com/empty.html, dragged the tag pill into it, and saved changes and refreshed. It works fine.

I don't know if TiddlyDesktop interferes, I haven't worked with that at all. Maybe try a browser for this?

[ludwa6]

To be sure, Dave: i just did the Stroll upgrade (yellow pill in content area of this page, right?) in my browser (latest Chrome: Version 87.0.4280.88 (Official Build) (x86_64) on Mac), and everything still looks the same -i.e. the options under pink eyeball icon are still:

Choose how to view references:

 Full text
 Full text under sliders
 Hidden
 Highlights in context
 Simple links

Is this a definitive proof that the upgrade didn't work? Is there some other test i can try?

Yours, Walt

Been using this update for some weeks now, and really enjoying the experience, except for this one little hair in the soup -i.e.:

> I originally was going to kill the functionality that created missing tiddlers when saving changes after editing tiddlers. I changed my mind and updated it so it is still there.

I respect your choice about this, @davegifford -but it is problematic for me, because i tend to pepper my notes with CamelCase refs for ideas i'm not ready to develop in the moment -which i can later retrieve via the "Missing" tab nested under "More" tab in the toolbar... But the way Stroll works now, i don't have any easy way to pull those "missing tiddlers" up. 

So: i'm looking for some way to override that function, without breaking anything or going off on what would be in effect a code branch i'm gonna have to maintain myself.  Is there something simple i might do to fix this?

Hello Walt,

For the time being, would it help to create a tiddler with a filtered list of all your tiddlers that have empty text fields? You could even add it as a tab next to "Missing".

Best,

Chris

Hi Walt

Delete

$:/config/ui/EditTemplate

and it will revert to default.

Then when updating Stroll at some later point, uncheck that tiddler when importing.

Ah, that's got it:

Thanks, @Dave!    /walt

Problem is now solved going forward, quick fix courtesy of @davegifford -but now to clean up all those blank tiddlers that resulted from the Stroll default prior to override, this idea:

> For the time being, would it help to create a tiddler with a filtered list of all your tiddlers that have empty text fields? You could even add it as a tab next to "Missing".

--prompted me to run " [field:text[]]" as Advanced Search, and there's the whole list of items i need to address.  Thanks @Chris !
