A problem with mobile drag and drop links

#1

Hi,

I am having trouble with the drag an drop functionality , it seems it only works with links on mobile, and the problem with that is that holding a link for a very short period of time opens the link,which prevents me from actually dragging what i am trying to drag because the focus shifts .

i am using drag an drop in a task manager format similar to the task manager example on the tiddly wiki website
https://tiddlywiki.com/#TaskManagementExample%20(Draggable)

i am using the mobile shim plugin .

this is my wiki https://mighty-soap-71.tiddlyhost.com/

i tried modifying the list-tagged-draggable macro in $:/core/macros/list

by replacing

<$link to={{!!title}}>
<$view field="title"/>

with

<$text text=<<currentTiddler>>/>
<$draggable tiddler=<<currentTiddler>>>
  • this removes the link and retrains the drag an drop functionality on my desktop .
  • on mobile it removes the link , and seems to work at first , as holding a draggable entry snapps it out of place as you would expect and allows you to move it arround, however… it never drops, its always returns back where i dragged it from …

is there way to get arround this problem i am having

dammit , it works on the example wiki i provided, i guess its a problem with my main wiki i am having the trouble with.

In your example wiki you should close all your open tiddlers. Otherwise you risk to open one of them 2 times and there is a chance to loose data. There is a reason, why open tiddlers are displayed in red.

One idea I had was to provide a click to copy links, then a place to paste it, as an alternate approach on mobiles.

@TW_Tones sorry tones but how does this work , what is a click to copy link ? :slight_smile:

You create a button with a tm-copy-to-clipboard message and provide the link you are copying in the param parameter, basically you click this button, its copied to the clipboard and you go and use the browser paste.

Such buttons can look like a link or button.
