Transcluding all slides into one tiddler (tiddlyshow)

[Andrew Lister]

I'd like to make a single tiddler out of a set of slide-tiddlers, so I could print a PDF for students or copy-and-paste one formatted tiddler into our school's LMS; I'm using the Tiddlyshow plugin.

This sort of works, but I'm not sure what the variable would be for sorting, to make them come out in order:

<$list filter="[tag[PUT TITLE OF SLIDE SHOW HERE]!tag[thumbnails]sort[ ???? ]]">

<br/>

<h2><$link><$transclude field="title" mode="block"/></$link></h2>

<$transclude field="text" mode="block"/>

<br/>

<hr/>

</$list>

Thanks,

Andrew

Hi Andrew

The slides will be in the order you created them unless you have sorted them using drag and drop, in that case you can find the order in the list field of Slide Manager.

Right, but what I'm trying do here is to put the contents of all the slides into one tiddler, in order, that I can then export as a pdf or copy and paste to html for my students.

I could just open each slide in order and then hit "print...". I can also do it manually by creating a tiddler with:

{{title of first slide}}

{{title of second slide}}

etc.

I was trying to be clever and use the list widget to generate this content automatically. The problem is that I don't what to sort by; the slides don't seem to have a count variable, at least not one that appears in the tiddler tags or fields.

Hm, would you not be able to use?

<$list filter="[enlist{title of slidehow!!list}]">

<h2><$link><$transclude field="title" mode="block"/></$link></h2>
<$transclude field="text" mode="block"/>
<br/>
<hr/>
</$list>

Hi Andrew,

 I personally use the printriver by BTC https://github.com/kookma/Tiddlyshow/invitations

It lets you to customize your printing change the order and so on!

Printing is one of the area Tiddlywiki needs improvement.

Good luck

Mohammad

[Andrew Lister]

Yes, that works, thanks.

Thanks Mohammad, but the link below goes to a 404 page. Is this a plugin?

Andrew,

• If the tiddlers have being ordered using drag and drop the trick is not to use the sort[] operator.
• I have done a lot on printing recently so have you some outstanding desires?. I have tackled the page breaks and tables (Very easy with a trick) across multiple pages.
• I like to make a print output to be contained inside a single tiddler (using list and more). What you see is what you get (almost), you then use open in new window and crtl-P to print just that tiddler.
• I print to a PDF printer (Foxit Reader) and can set headings and margins there if desired - however I prefer to prepare the pages breaks etc inside the printable tiddler so that they are recognised once printing.

Regards

Tony
