Packaging a Plugin on Node

[admls]

Hi Folks,

I've put together a few plugins. They are basically done, they just need packaged up. And for some reason, I can't figure out how to do it. In particular, I need one plugin to overwrite a couple tiddlers from the core. I cannot figure out how I would do that. I realize it's bad practice to overwrite core tiddlers, but I can't find any other way to solve this particular issue.

Best wishes,

admls

admls,

I am no node expert, but what about the tinker plugin? and/or save as a standalone wiki and do it there?

In part I only raise alternatives, the original questions should still be answered.

Hi admls

There are some brief docs on plugins under Node.js here:

https://tiddlywiki.com/#PluginFolders

You can see plenty of examples in the core repo:

Best wishes

Jeremy

I'll add a short how-to list:

• make a plugin-folder anywhere
• add a "plugin.info" file in this folder, format and fill it, see an example: https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/blob/master/plugins/tiddlywiki/codemirror/plugin.info
• the plugin.info "list" can contain a number of tiddler titles that will show up as tabs in your plugin tiddler
• add them as ".tid" files in your plugin-folder, format them in the ".tid" format
• you can create sub-folders that contain ".tid" files, they will be included in your plugin
• for javascript tiddlers create a "files" folder in your plugin-folder
• create a "tiddlywiki.files" file within the "files" folder
• see an example "tiddlywiki.files" : https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/blob/master/plugins/tiddlywiki/codemirror/files/tiddlywiki.files
• use this format to add your javascript tiddlers / js tiddlers that overwrite core tiddlers and your own js tiddlers
• the "file" parameter in tiddlywiki.files is a relative path, relative to where the tiddlywiki.files file is located
• if you put a js tiddler in files/modules/widgets/tiddler.js it's "modules/widgets/tiddler.js
• that's it

Thanks Simon and Jeremy and TonyM,

I found I was under-utilizing TheDiveO's incomparable ThirdFlow Plugin. That actually streamlines the whole think quite a bit.

Best wishes,
