Greetings all,
I just wanted to share some TiddlyWiki tools I put together (with more to
come). You can find them at:
http://sextant.tiddlyspot.com/
The first is a Label Tool. This is my attempt at a label tool that can
serve as a conference badge/mailing label/tent card/business card
generator. It started off as a quick a dirty attempt at making a label
maker using TiddlyWiki and snow-balled from there. There are certainly
things that can be added but it is in a functional state so far.
The second (that is used in Label Tool) is the dblist macro. Long ago, at
the dawn of time, I started using Stephan Hradek's excellent Newtiddler
Widget <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/tiddlywiki/EbTVXUrWss4>
(and the Contact List Example he put together with it) before TiddlyWiki
had the appropriate core functionality. It was very versatile for any kind
of database list functionality but it became cumbersome to keep
copying/cloning/editing all the constituent pieces when I wanted to reuse
it elsewhere.
So I refactored Stephen's tool to make the dblist macro that only used
stock widgets and can be reused just by cloning and renaming a few tiddlers
with optional editing to suit. Many improvements can still be made but it
is usable so far. You can easily change the look of the dblist (as I have
done with the Label Tool) but it is still a manual process.
Please use them and offer constructive feedback. I don't guarantee time to
make large improvements but I hope to refine things over time.
Enjoy,
/Mike
