Is it possible to implement the preview plugin from Tobias Beer using the custom widget and redefining the Link widget in TW 5.3.6, without overwriting the core tiddlers? Code tobibeer/tw5-preview: a TiddlyWiki plugin to preview tiddlers when hovering links Demo plugins — docs for plugins by tobi…

@Mohammad I am confident that would be possible. On reviewing plugins — docs for plugins by tobibeer I note it mentions a supporting plugin “appear” however it may be possible to now use native tiddlywiki instead. I have previously worked with redefining the $link widget since custom widgets and an…

[image] TW_Tones: Done correctly the preview functionality can be done on top of the link widget and still pass all parameters through to the core $link widget This was my first thought as well, but overriding the link widget would only be required if something special needs to be done for re…

Yes, the event catcher is an option I think it best however to avoid timer tools and use CSS to achive it. One issue with the event catcher is where do you place it and how to you activate deactivate it, at present you will need a new page template or layout. The timer etc… is arguably desirable …

I have tried that and similar code patterns to allow hackability using widgets wrapped around the page and other templates but not found one after many hours of hacking. Perhaps it can be done with an alternat page template containing the wrapper, and a transclusion of the page template. How could…

[image] TW_Tones: Perhaps it can be done with an alternat page template containing the wrapper, and a transclusion of the page template. Right, I think this is the current “best” solution. (I know @Yaisog , for instance, has done some work with alternate page templates that change the storyriv…

An alternative to the timer is an alt-mouse pointer event. Use alt to preview. Although both options are ideal. Without alt tyou can display the provided tooltip or “alt key to preview”. The Link widget has a tooltip parameter, what if it also had a preview parameter, on we can supply a macro to? i…

I think I never described how I’ve implemented this here on the forum. So here is a short summary: In the PageTemplate, I added a $transclude widget around the innermost $list, to initiate a recursive transclusion of another tiddler, $:/mwi/DynamicContent. <$transclude $tiddler="$:/mwi/DynamicCont…

I have repacked the Tobias Beer plugins (Preview and Appear) in one single plugin Quick View and distributed with KPL (kookma plugin library). I am still eagerly following the works here, using wikitext solutions.
