Hide certain tiddlers...just from the "recent" sidebar?

[shaw.m...@gmail.com]

Morning, All :)

 

I'm using the BottomTabs plugin (http://bottomtabs.tiddlyspot.com/) and it's working brilliantly. My only issue is that notes and comments (which are basically new tiddlers) are shoing up under the "Recent" tab in the sidebar as well as displaying under the tiddler to which they're attached.

 

 

I had a look in the archives regarding this but all I can find is an idea for a button that saves the wiki at a state which doesn't include the "hidden" tiddlers...which doesn't help me when I do actually need to see the atatched notes/comments.

 

Does anyone know if there a tag or filter I can use to ensure they dont appear under "Recent"?

 

Cheers,

-S

Hi Shaw,

If you want tiddlers to be hidden in standard filters you just need to prefix their name with a $:/ 
That's the marker for system tiddlers. I did a short test, and this mechanism works with bottom tabs. The plugin seems to show all tiddlers, that are assigned with it.

hope this helps

---------------- remark

The point that I don't understand is, that you actually want to hide them. .. If something is important enough to show up as a comment, imo it's worth to show up in the recent tab also.
If not. ... Why do you care to write it down, if it's hard to find afterwards?

But that's just my thoughts.

have fun!

Thanks :)

 

Personally, I'm with you on this one but Bossman only wants to see the comments in the context of their original tiddler, not listed in the sidebar.  I'd have thought using the sidebar to jump to a particular comment, rather than scrolling through however many are attached to a tiddler, would have been useful but, alas, that's not to be...until we get to the stage at which he can't find a comment and insists they go back on the sidebar, lol :)

OK .. I see :)

There's probably a better possibility. .... I had a second look at the plugins. ... it already uses a system tag: $:/type/comment to identify eg: comments. So you can easily modify the "recent tab" filter to filter the "unwanted" content. So in the future it would be easy to pull them back in again ;)

The responsible macro for rendering is the <<timeline>> macro http://tiddlywiki.com/#timeline%20Macro  .... You don't need to change it. Just have a look at the "subfilter" parameter.

You may add your subfilter params here: http://bottomtabs.tiddlyspot.com/#%24%3A%2Fcore%2Fui%2FMoreSideBar%2FRecent:%24%3A%2Fcore%2Fui%2FMoreSideBar%2FRecent%20%24%3A%2Fcore%2Fui%2FSideBar%2FRecent

If you just change it at: http://bottomtabs.tiddlyspot.com/#%24%3A%2Fcore%2Fui%2FSideBar%2FRecent  like so

<$macrocall $name="timeline" format={{$:/language/RecentChanges/DateFormat}} subfilter="!tag[$:/type/comment]!tag[$:/other/things/toHide]"/>

The More:Recent tab still shows the comments. So you can have the "best of both worlds" :)

have fun!

Oh, sweet! that works perfectly - I've edited it to leave out the notes and ideas too. 

 

Thanks very much :)
