[For Beginners] Setting up Tiddlymap to view all maps

[Reet Pandher]

EDIT: Title correction - Setting up Tiddlymap to view all **tiddlers**

First off let me say please don't ask me any technical questions. I learned all of this by spending too much time on google. I don't know what any of those code snippets mean. The intent of the post is to make sure no other new users have to waste their time.

Second, it's just sad that for a community so active we have so little to offer in terms of clearly written easy-to-follow-guides for beginners. I hope that changes.

Here is how to setup tiddlymap to view all tiddlers:

1. In your tiddly map click on the 3 horizontal bars on the right of the view tab.
2. Create new view
3. Enter the following code and hit OK :

<$tmap view="All" editor="advanced" ></$tmap>

4. Click on the bars again and rename the view to All
5. Click on the bars and Configure View.
6. Paste the following code in the Node Filter column under Edit Filters tab:

[!is[system]]
+[limit[100]]

NOTE: you can delete the +[limit[100]] line if you like.

7. Select Floating Nodes under Layouts tab and hit OK.
8. Go back to the configure view and uncheck Floating Nodes Layout.

Hello Reet

thank you for sharing this, It seems we both are working on the same thing. actually I was trying to accomplish this yesterday and I ended up doing exactly the same than what you did just without the limit[100] i'm returning all tiddlers

my issue now is the "navigation" I don't find a smooth way to switch from one node to another and letting the other become active

were you able to do that?

Hi Tony,

I just gave up after figuring this out. lol.

I've just added live view as a separate tab and work with that.
