[tw5] Re: WikiLabs plugin update + New plugins

@pmario - I know this is an old post, but I had a need again for the keyvalues plugin and it is a LIFE SAVER. One of my wikis is dedicated to a scrape of my companies ActiveDirectory and I had it setup one tiddler per user (all 26,000 of us) and searching was painful. I instead dumped the same information into a datatiddler with just the userid as the key, and a delimited string of fields as the value, and your keyvalues filter operator allows me to search instantly. It’s such a game-changer for when you have these mini-databases for lookups and things. I hope these datatiddler enhancements continue to be supported in the future! Sent a small paypal tip :slight_smile:

Thanks a lot!

Data tiddlers have advantages for some usecases and disadvantages for others. … I think the concept of dadatiddlers can only be removed if we can create something, that is adequate but works with tiddlers. At the moment we don’t have such a mechanism.

I just want to comment: that is extremely useful to know!

Right. Your KEYVALUES PLUGIN looks most interesting. I flirted with it before but couldn’t understand it well.

I’m a bit of an idiot so need some hand-holding at first.

Would it be okay to open a discussion thread about its practical use on Your GitHub?

Best, TT

Sure. You can open a discussion: https://github.com/wikilabs/plugins/discussions
