Is it possible to have a dynamic list of default tiddlers without
modifying the defaulttiddlers code?

for example I was hoping to use <<timeline>> to make my most recently
modified tiddlers when I open my tiddly wiki

any ideas on how to do this?

Daniel,

I use Saq Imtiaz' BetterTimelineMacro - http://tiddlywiki.squize.org/#BetterTimelineMacro

Then you can create a tiddler = e.g. Recent Tiddlers, e.g. with the following content (other parameters available too)
<<timeline better:true maxDays:7>>

Then you can include Recent Tiddlers in DefaultTiddlers

HTH

Awesome, thank you. I was looking for that. the link that I had for
bettertimelinemacro was broken.

when you say "include recent tiddlers in defaulttiddlers" do you mean
just make it open the tiddler recent tiddlers? or that you include its
contents, such that all recent tiddlers will open automatically?

The former, i.e. have Recent Tiddlers be one of the tiddlers that displays when the TW file opens

Darn ok. So for now, that's what I'll do. does anyone have any ideas for the latter?

Thank you :-)

if you add "#recent:N" to the end of the URL for your TW document, it
will *bypass* the DefaultTiddlers definition (without altering it) and
display the "N" most recently modified tiddlers, in reverse
chronological order (newest first).

For example:
http://tiddlywiki.com/#recent:3

will show you the 3 most recently edited tiddlers on TiddlyWiki.com

Note: The "recent" paramifier was originally available only as a
TiddlyTools CoreTweak, but was long-ago added to the TWCore, so NO
plugins are needed to use this feature (unless your document uses a
VERY old version of the TWCore). To confirm, you can open your
document in a plain text editor, and search for
"config.paramifiers.recent". If present, then you are all set.

enjoy,

I handle that by using a tag (e.g. defaultTiddler) and opening all tiddlers with that tag at startup.
