Hello!

I'm a newbie in tiddlywiki so I have some questions.

1) Can I get AdvancedSearch history in any way? Maybe some plugin to highlight latest N search queries and M most used ones.

2) Can I get arbitrary field showed as AdvancedSearch result instead of titles? Maybe with a plugin like this one (http://www.tiddlytools.com/#SearchOptionsPlugin)

3) Don't classic plugins work with TW5 at all? Some exceptions maybe?

4) Are there any plans to add features for notes connections and graphical implementation of that like in PersonalBrain? Maybe in future?

5) Earlier I've found a dido project quite interesting (http://projects.csail.mit.edu/exhibit/Dido/Download/dido-full.html). Is there anything similar to that?

6) Is there an ability to show some fields of tiddlers in view mode? I.e. if field[MyType]='Thought', then I need feild[source] of that tiddler to be shown.

Hi, here is an answer from a newbie. I can't answer all your questions, but I'm sure there are plenty of others here who can help out. For your Q4 about PersonalBrain, do have a look at TiddlyMap Plugin by Felix Küppers. I haven't implemented it yet myself, but I am intending to. An earlier version of the personal knowledgebase wiki I'm now building in TiddlyWiki used to be in PersonalBrain format.

Hi Barter,

... and welcome!

Classic plugins don't work with TW5 and there are no exceptions.

A lot of TW people are looking for a replacement for Personal Brain and similar. I came to TW after using Brain, Vue, Inspiration and various others. I've stuck with TW after I understood a bit about the technology underpinning it and coming into contact with the community of user which has grown up around the tool.

TiddlyMap is the closest to the brain, and in my opinion many many times superior. One reason it exists in a rapidly expanding ecosystem of compatible code. If you wanted a timeline in your concept map, you can do this quite simply, KiXam's timeline [1] uses the same library as Felix's TiddlyMap

I'm a newbie in tiddlywiki so I have some questions.

Welcome Barter!
 

1) Can I get AdvancedSearch history in any way? Maybe some plugin to highlight latest N search queries and M most used ones.

I'm not aware of such a plugin but that does sound useful!
 

2) Can I get arbitrary field showed as AdvancedSearch result instead of titles? Maybe with a plugin like this one (http://www.tiddlytools.com/#SearchOptionsPlugin)

I would like that too! To get Foo!!Bar insted of just Foo as a search result. Further, I don't thing search searches through fields other than the text field (or does advanced search do this?)



5) Earlier I've found a dido project quite interesting (http://projects.csail.mit.edu/exhibit/Dido/Download/dido-full.html). Is there anything similar to that?

What does "similar" mean?
 
6) Is there an ability to show some fields of tiddlers in view mode? I.e. if field[MyType]='Thought', then I need feild[source] of that tiddler to be shown.

Maybe this (haven't tested it)

<$list filter="[<current>field[mytype]mytype[Thought]]">
{{!!source}}
</$list>

<:-)

From Newbie to Newbie:

I found it rewarding to use TiddlyMap together with tidgraph and recently with vis.js Timeline. That gives me a MS-Project-like funtionality, but instead of Bill Gates and his Cloud I get Jeremy Ruston and his motly crew. A choice like between Leprosis and a Havanna cigar :)

I do the data input with tiddlyclip - beats Onenote.

I have implemented the CognyWiki concept (thats from TWC) on my own, and I have improved it for my own needs with custom-made cognitve processes.

The advantage of TW5 over TWC is: TW5 is not so mature and many things are still under development - that offers an ideal opportunity for a newbie like me to witness (in this newsgroup) the gurus when they do the heavy lifting, and learn from them. They even respond to questions from newbies like us.

I'd forgotten about CognyWiki [1], I must say, I miss those animations which zoom from the link to the tiddler


@Pit, I am interested in what you call custom-made cognitve processes.. 



I wonder if this quote could find its way onto TiddlyWiki.com?

Dear Alex,

thanks for taking interest...

find attached a template which is still under development. You will find it rather simple, I promise: i have not introduced any kind of sofware innovation. Much of it was inspired by Giffmex and TiddlyWiki for Scholars  http://tw5.scholars.tiddlyspot.com The rest I just copy / pasted from TiddlyWiki.com.

I use this as a starting point when tackling a topic/issue/problem I do not understand.

It tries to combine cognywiki with tidgraph, tiddlymap, timeline amd some tools I call IrapEus and workflow and a very modest scenario simulation. (And a little GUI functionality for different footers).
My main TWs run on node.js, where I have a GUI functionality which connects cognywiki and a virtual file management closer to the workflow;


Pit.W.

Thanks @Jermolene and All for 5.1.10
scenario template demo - with IrapEus.html

Thanks Pit.w

It's interesting to hear how people think about the interface between mind and wiki
