Tweak/Button for "Replace StoryRiver open Tiddlers with all Filter Search Results"

#1

Hello,

I looked around a bit here and online and wasn’t having much luck but I have to assume someone has made a quick that can do this;

I would like a small addtl button on the Advanced Search > Filter tab that will replace the current Story River (including the advanced search tiddler itself will be replaced) with all the currently show results of the filter. I’m wanting to use this in conjunction with @EricShulman TiddlyTools/Search/SaveFilter so I can save and return to pre-defiend story river states (workspaces)

I’m aware of the ‘views’ tiddlywiki-plugins plugin but I think just adding one addtl button to advanced search > filters for a similar functionality is a bit sleeker.

Just let me know, thanks!

I ended up finding this tweak:

Tweak/Button for “Replace StoryRiver open Tiddlers with all Filter Search Results” - Discussion - Talk TW

Seems to do what I was wanting, just need to tweak it to close all other currently-open story river Tiddlers as well.

Your recursion is missing a base case!

In other words, the link you included in your solution is right back to this topic. Did you have a link to somewhere else you meant to share?

The reason I would not have much use for the tool discussed here, and I would not wish to open a large number of tiddlers, only the results of a small number in which case I am happy to click each tiddler title in the results list to open them.

Note ctrl-click opens the tiddler below allowing you continue to click more titles.

A more general solution where one can configure one or more actions to perform on the advanced search list may be more helpful. In this case close all (I use close others button) and navigate to each tiddler, would meet the Original request but allow other actions to be applied.

This illustrates some ideas I have being slowly trying to realise and that is collecting actions that apply to a title or list of all titles, just as we collect filters in the advanced search filters tab drop down. But unlike filters we often want to modify a default to add a particular tags, modify a particular field or value.

  • Thus perhaps the ability for the user to craft the actions and save them for reuse makes sense?

A quick look at the filters tag $:/tags/Filter indicates the filter tiddlers text field is empty. Perhaps we could add actions to the text field, and if the text field contains actions, have a button appear to apply such actions to each tiddler in the search results.

  • Just once instance of this would address the Topics requirement.
  • Perhaps a separate and independent drop down list.
