Hi folks,
I did just publish a new playlist on my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/pmariojo with some HowTo’s about TiddlyWiki and Plugins
Subtitle 1: Use plugins with a single-file wiki
Subtitle 2: Use plugins with a client-server configuration using Node.js
Subtitle 3: How to build a single-file wiki using the “tiddlywiki” command line
In the first 4 videos I talk about how you can install plugins from the Standard Plugin Library and from 3rd Party Plugin Libraries.
I recommend to view them, even if it is only a summary for you. There are some new cool features in the TW docs, that have been merged lately, to support those videos
And … The following videos assume you know the topics discussed in 1-4
It all starts at: https://tiddlywiki.com/#Plugins
01 Install a Plugin from the Standard Plugin Library (4:11)
02 Disable / Delete Plugins from TiddlyWiki (2:11)
03 Install Plugins Manually (2:47)
04 Tips and Tricks with Library Configurations (5:37)
Important: If my videos make a difference for you while working with TiddlyWiki, it would be nice if you “Like and Subscribe to my channel”. This would make a difference for me too. Thanks!
To demonstrate the installation mechanism I use a completely new Windows 11 virtual machine, that doesn’t know anything about Node.js and the tiddlywiki command line. So all the “hickups” that could happen with a “non developer” system should come up here too.
I did not record a video about the VSCode editor I use in the videos. You may have your own text editor already. … If not … VSCode can be found at: https://code.visualstudio.com/ … For the videos here I don’t use any VSCode modifications at all.
Hint: The lower in the list, the more assumptions are made, that you know the topics discussed before.
05 How to Install Node.js LTS version (3:06) … on Windows 11
06 Install TiddlyWiki with npm (5:46)
07 Set Execution Policy for PowerShell Scripts (4:10) … A little bit of Windows configuration to use PowerShell scripts, without a warning.

14 Fix a Typo in TiddlyWik Docs Using the pr-maker Edition (4:11) … While making the videos, I did find a typo in the docs. This is a short video how to use TiddlyWiki to create a plull-request and fix it. An other step by step Playlist can be found at: Use TiddlyWiki to Contribute to the TiddlyWiki Documentation
