CategorySearchPlugin

tiddlywiki No Comments »

For my TiddlyWiki I’ve written a CategorySearchPlugin. I use it to search my TiddlyWiki for categories, and it shows a list for the tiddlers that match. As they say: a picture can say more than 1000 words:

 Just type the tags you want to search for, press "Search on Categories", and you get a list with tiddlers that have the tags. You can type 1 tag or more than one. If you type more than one, for example "theme wordpress", it will search for all tiddlers that have both these tags. To get it installed in your own TiddlyWiki, you need to install:

  • CategorySearch and CategorySearchPlugin.
  • Give the CategorySearchPlugin plugin the tag "systemConfig".
  • ForEachTiddlerPlugin and ForEachTiddlerMacro: only if you’ve haven’t installed them yet from another source. You should have version 1.0.8 of ForEachTiddlerPlugin.
  • Give the ForEachTiddlerPlugin plugin the tag "systemConfig".
  • Give the ForEachTiddlerMacro tiddler the tags "Documentation ForEachTiddlerMacro Macro"

After you’ve installed them, save your TiddlyWiki, and refresh it with [Ctrl-F5].

TiddlyBlogger with permalinks and updates

I liked the boycook’s TiddlyBlogger macro. What I missed was:

- A way to update a post instead of creating a new one everytime. In this way, I can use my TiddlyWiki as a publishing platform, a wordpress writing tool.
- A way to automatically convert TiddlyLinks into permalinks for my blog.

I changed it myself, this is the result.

  • When you make a new post, a custom tag is inserted in the text of the tiddler. After posting to your blog, the postid will be written to the end of the post. For example: [#67#]. In this case 67 is the postid of the new post
  • When you update the same post thereafter and hit "publish" again, the TiddlyBlogger macro will read the postid (if it exists), and update the post in your blog (instead of creating a new one).
  • When you update an existing post or new post, the macro will search for TiddlyLinks, and replace them with real hyperlinks. For example:
    [[Tiddly Link]] becomes <a href="/tiddly-link">Tiddly Link</a>

Keep track of information with TiddlyWiki

When you start with internet marketing, you encounter an incredible amount of information:

- Websites that beg you to accept their offer.
- Tools you need.
- Marketing sites.
- Pdf files telling you about ways to make money.

You need a way to keep track of all this information. You make notes about a website or document; is it good? is it a scam?

I’ve tried a lot of ways to keep my notes, favorites, websites, links, etc. in one place.

  • Text files
  •  Evernote
  • Onenote
  • Put it on the web
  • Use an online Wiki
  • Make Email folders
  • Hierarchical file folders
  • Del.icio.us
  • Put it in Gmail

And many, many more. All these ways were unsatisfactory:

- To access the info I usually needed to install a tool, whether on the client or on the server.
- Online tools could not always be reached when I didn’t have an internet connection.
- If I posted too much information I wouldn’t be able to find it back.

For myself, I solved this problem by using a free tool, Tiddlywiki. It’s a personal notebook. It is a single self-contained HTML file that includes CSS and JavaScript code. When the user downloads it to their PC, TiddlyWiki can save the entered information by overwriting itself on the user’s disk, at the user’s request. Following TiddlyWiki conventions, users can make a new entry, called a tiddler, in their local copy of the TiddlyWiki file and save it for future reference. Existing tiddlers can also be modified or deleted in the same way. Because it runs under most browsers and requires no installation, it can be easily used as a portable personal wiki.

TiddlyWiki is very adaptable, it has plugins (addons) that make you organize your information in every way possible.

I use tiddlythemes.com/empties/D3Gtd.html for:

  • storing account info
  • keeping TODO lists
  • linking topics to each other
  • storing website links with descriptive information
  • describing the contents of pdfs I downloaded
  • tagging pieces of information, so I can find them back by category

But people use it for all kinds of things.

See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TiddlyWiki for more information.
