Feature request : support for streams plug in

arunnbabu81 commented 3 years ago

I would like to request for support for outliner plug in of TW5 called streams.

Title of the webpage or pdf being clipped should become the parent streams tiddler. Whatever is being clipped at a first instance should be added as the first child of parent streams tiddler. Next clipped items should be the second child and so on.

Another request is to open a window of same TW with the corresponding streams tiddler in the webpage being clipped so that we can see and edit the notes being clipped on real time.

A similar implementation can be seen in the web clipper of a note taking app called remnote. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/remnote-clipper/ohidiiabdhnlgcaidgndbdbjlhngeboj?hl=en https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5jS75Gl5ak

Answer to first request:

The tiddlyclip browser extension sends clips and metadata(eg url, title) to the tiddlyclip plugin installed in a tiddlywiki. The plugin creates/modifies tiddlers with this data (clips and metadata). The plugin has a scripting language to allow for creation/modification of multiple tiddlers, and in addition javascript macros can be added. Thus I think it possible to clip to stream tiddlers by creating a configuration for tiddlyclip and that the tiddlyclip plugin does not need to be modified.

Creating such a configuaration would be very low on my list of projects. However if someone with at least a little programming experience wants to do this I would answer questions about how to write the config etc. I guess it would take a couple of days to do.

Answer to second request: It is not possible to do this with tiddlywiki + tiddlyclip. - with remnote you upload the pdf to their server which allows them to create the edit sidebar next to the pdf on their webpage.

Thanks for the reply. Since I have no knowledge in programming, I think I will wait untill someone versed in programming who has this particular demand to come up and take up such a project.

Regarding remnote, their clipper doesn’t need pdf to be uploaded to remnote server. It can open an edit sidebar even while clipping from a webpage. Only thing needed is we should log into our remnote account.

I have create an issue for opening a tiddlywiki in the browser sidebar here: https://github.com/buggyj/tiddlyclip/issues/66#issue-786765738

With tiddlywiki there is no server (tiddlywiki is a single webpage client application) and tiddlyclip sends clips to a tiddlywiki using the browser addon tabs api - I can find no way with the present api to sent messages to a sidebar - If this becomes available in the furture I will add this feature. As remnote uses a server, its clipper can sent clips to it using the internet protocols, and does not have this limitation.

I tried to make a new config for using with streams

This is how streams work

For the stream parent i was able to create a rule and its working

For the naming of stream child nodes, i need to have two fields - stream-type: default and parent: ((*@pageTitle*))

How to add two fields together in the rule?

Also the title of the child nodes is based on this

I made a rule for child nodes in streams, but its not working. How to correct it?
