How to create a sidebar, which shows back-linked lists?

@Birthe -

Hej - Maybe! I took a screen shot.




[ Then here under the line all my tags are listed as tag pills - not shown ]




The selector is for order by date created vs order by date modified
Slider determines max number of tiddlers on the story river - useful for when on mobile phone
Next display according to criteria - All, Untagged, Random and also options to order by rank as follows…

  • Order by number of backlinks - ascending descending - backlinks taken as one measure of importance.
  • Order by rating star ( I am using a plugin to assign a star rating to tiddlers )
  • Show Journal entries only - Journals do not show in any of the other options.

After the horizontal line all my tag pill buttons appear - if I click on a tag pill I populate the story river with tiddlers having that tag.

I am very interested in aspects of rating tiddlers but it’s all still very fluid - I actually have a third system in use that is not shown in the picture - the other two being Backlinks (Blink) and star * ratings. I suspect I will never find a single unique method and will continue with all three. My wiki is huge and so a major part of my work is continually finding ways to see the bigger picture - in a way the random feature is an antidote to the side-effects of the ratings features - ratings are designed to help us get to the “good stuff” quickly but the downside is we miss out on stuff that is good but the potential has not yet been recognised - the potential is often a function of linking things up with discoveries made since the tiddler was first written - no-one said our brains worked in a simple fashion - some people think of creativity as chaos - I think fluidity in the light of ongoing (re)investigation (re)assessment and (re)integration is another aspect of this.

I would also like at some point to investigate an enhancement to the tags list feature that is not shown but sits under the horizontal line - I find myself wanting to populate the story river sometimes with tidders that have “tag1 AND tag2” - my current option is simply “that have tag1” - of course I can search for multiple terms in the search box as a last resort but find clicking on tag pills much more convenient.

The option to display Untagged tiddlers is a remedial measure as I generally wish all tiddlers to have at least one useful tag.
