FARR Plugins and Aliases / Re: GTDTiddlyWikiPlus for FARR (alias pack)
« Last post by mouser on June 13, 2008, 09:59 PM »
and exit farr and start your normal Internet Explorer and open the file.. see if the fonts are still small and if so enlarge them from internet explorer to how you want them.  then exit internet explorer and try farr again.

by the way, does anyone else have this problem?

FARR Plugins and Aliases / Re: GTDTiddlyWikiPlus for FARR (alias pack)
« Last post by mouser on June 13, 2008, 09:41 PM »
I've reuploaded with an added alias pack for the standard TiddlyWiki:

Trigger the alias by typing: tiwi

From Readme:
This alias simply executes the TiddlyWiki page as downloaded from
 http://tiddlywiki.com/

To use this from FARR just type: tiwi [THEN HIT ENTER]

//---------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE: Your edits are saved inside the file MyTiddlyWiki.htm which is
 stored in this directory.  Deleting this file will delete all of your
 edits(!).  You can move this file if you like, just change the alias
 to point to the new location.

//---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The version included in this version is from 6/13/08,
 which is  TiddlyWiki 2.4.0.

If you wish to reset your gtd wiki to blank and erase all of your
 edits, you can replace the file gtd_tiddlywiki.htm with the blank
 one in OriginalBlankFile, or better yet download the latest
 blank file from the website above, direct link:
  http://tiddlywiki.com/empty.html

Tips for using GTDTiddlyWiki Plus:
  • turn on autosave and savebackups.
  • i have no idea about anything else this is the first i've tried it.

Should we make an alias pack for normal TiddlyWiki?

I'd appreciate any feedback regarding whether it works for people.
I had to turn off skinning for now on all forms but main form. I may turn it back on for options forms later.

FARR Plugins and Aliases / GTDTiddlyWikiPlus for FARR (alias pack)
« Last post by mouser on June 13, 2008, 09:25 PM »
As of June 13, 2008 the Latest versions of FARR include the GTDTiddlyWikiPlus Alias Pack.

I couldn't resist adding this just because it's such a fun example of using html view with FARR.

Trigger the alias by typing: gwp


From the readme in the alias pack i made:
This alias simply executes the GTDTiddlyWikiPlus page as downloaded from
 http://www.checketts...w/gtd_tiddlywiki.htm

To use this from FARR just type: gwp [THEN HIT ENTER]

//---------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE: Your edits are saved inside the file gtd_tiddlywiki.htm which is
 stored in this directory.  Deleting this file will delete all of your
 edits(!).  You can move this file if you like, just change the alias
 to point to the new location.

//---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The version included in this version is from 6/13/08,
 which is built from TiddlyWiki 2.1.3.

If you wish to reset your gtd wiki to blank and erase all of your
 edits, you can replace the file gtd_tiddlywiki.htm with the blank
 one in OriginalBlankFile, or better yet download the latest
 blank file from the website above, direct link:
  http://checkettsweb.com/tw/gtd_tiddlywiki.htm

Find And Run Robot / Re: How to modify/extend the trigger keyword of a plugin?
« Last post by mouser on June 13, 2008, 08:33 PM »

yes good point, if you want to also be able to use the original then you need to rename it to something more useful.

Find And Run Robot / Re: How to modify/extend the trigger keyword of a plugin?
« Last post by mouser on June 13, 2008, 08:02 PM »
i should clarify:
you aren't meant to ever type p2list after this change.
you could have changed it to "jhgkljdhglkdjhg"

the only goal is to rename the real trigger to something you wont type
and then you type plist and only the alias will use the new keyword (p2list or jhgkljdhglkdjhg)

The basic tiddlywiki.com runs in FARR but I can't save:
actually there is a farr-related problem here, im trying to fix it now.  believe it or not it's related to skin system.

Isn't it possible to just make an alias that passes the search string as a parameter to the .html file?
well you are quite right that the search string could be passed as a simple html get parameter, without anything being added to the system by me.  clever.

This one will be very useful once javascript is enabled in Farr.

isn't it already?

« Last post by mouser on June 13, 2008, 06:27 PM »
this gave me another thought..
perhaps one way we could give people to write a different kind of farr "plugin"
is to let an alias load an html/javascript page, and automatically set some javascript variables corresponding to the search string.

this is very similar to the dqsd idea but even simpler. FARR would simply load an html page and preset some variables so the javascript on the page could know what was typed into search string, and proceed to handle it the way it wants.

« Last post by mouser on June 13, 2008, 05:53 PM »
This is a good question because i suspect people often want to change the way plugins are triggered.

you would need to do 2 things:
1) go to options,plugins, plugin manager, select the plist plugin and then override the trigger for printer list to something else, maybe like p2list.
2) then go to aliases, select myaliases file which you can edit:
and add a new alias named plist,
set regex to ^plist(.*)$
and in the results put
dosearch p2list$$1 +sall

i think that will do it.  it's off the top of my head so if it fails let me know.

there are other ways too -- nitrix is really good at coming up with stuff so maybe he will post a reply too.

but the basic idea of my method is to rename the original and then use a dosearch action to make one thing typed act like another.

Having said that:
We should ask taichi to make the printerlist plugin always display all results.  he can do that but probably just doesnt know how or it didn't occur to him.

Newsletter for June 13th, 2008
Codename "Programmapalooza"


"If you read nothing else on our site, read our BLOG"
(new rss feed with images)




1. Newsletter Editorial

Greetings dear readers! Yes it's time again for another DC newsletter.  June has been a big month at the site, and it's only half over.

If you are a programmer, do not miss the programming contest we are running which ends on July 1st with a giant MS Visual Studio bundle prize (includes all Windows OS's and office tools, worth over $10,000).

I've released a new major version of my Find and Run Robot program which includes a new html view mode that will hopefully be of use to plugin writers, who have been creating some very fun new addons for the program.  If you haven't checked out the program yet, now might be the time.

This has also been a very busy productive month for mini-review writers on the forum, so we've got a section devoted to mini-reviews in this month's newsletter.  And don't miss the interview with the reclusive mysterious DC coder known as Skrommel.

If you've never posted on the forum before, this would be a great time to join us with your first post -- there's even a section of the newsletter below highlighting some threads that we'd love to have people participate in.  If you're a fan of DonationCoder and the way we do things, we'd especially appreciate you checking out the thread about nominating DonationCoder.com to PC Mag's Top 100 Websites.

-mouser, June 13, 2008




2. Your Participation Requested

A warm welcome to all the new members who have joined over the last month.  Here are some good topics on which to make your debut post.  Don't be shy, just jump right in, we are always happy to hear from new people.  And for our long term members, you know what to do -- join in and make your voice heard.



3. DonationCoder.com Software Updates

As promised, June has kicked off a period of vigorous software updates for our programs.  If you've been waiting for an update to one of our programs, you're likely to see it this month if it hasn't been released already:



4. Mini-Reviews by Members

Mini-reviews are a great resource for people researching software solutions and may be found on the dedicated Mini-Review Board.  Please remember to acknowledge the efforts of the reviewers with a few donationcredits if you find their reviews interesting and/or helpful.



5. Fun, Games, and Humour

One of the things that makes the forum a nice place to hang out is that there is a good balance between serious expert discussion and just plain silly fun (and everything in between).  There are always a few truly sublime discoveries posted by DC members each month, and this month was no exception.



6. Living Room

The Living Room section of the forum is where we discuss general issues that don't really belong in the other, dedicated sections.  It's kind of a catch-all section -- lots of website discoveries and recommendations, etc. This makes it a great place to explore - you never know what you're going to find!



7. General Software Discussion

Almost half the posts on the forum fall into the category of general software discussions, questions, recommendations, etc. This is one of the most active sections of the DC forum and a great resource if you're trying to solve a software or hardware related problem. We get so much traffic on this board that we've split the recent content into to sections in the newsletter - general software and specific software discussions.



8. Specific Software Discussion

This section of the newsletter draws attention to some of the standout discussions about specific programs that have been started since the last newsletter.



9. Developer's Corner

A pretty thin set of posts in the Developer's Corner section this month -- why is that?  Remember that this section isn't just for computer programmers, it's for entrepreneurs of all kinds to discuss the issues involving creating things and running a small business.

Living Room / Re: Career Advice : Masters Degree
« Last post by mouser on June 13, 2008, 12:58 PM »
There are some jobs which will actually help you get your masters as you work there -- that might be another option to consider.

The best advice i can give you though is related to tinjaw's question - figure out what you think you want to do and then plan a master degree to help you get there, and then focus on FINISHING your masters degree as quickly as possible.  You can't really go wrong in my view in getting a masters, as long as you actually finish it quickly.

« Last post by mouser on June 13, 2008, 05:44 AM »
i think there was also something farr was doing wrong that is now fixed. new version of farr+timer have no trouble with settings.

czb: you might want to make timer (and any other plugins) not launch settings until user hits enter, and just display in output that they should hit enter to launch settings dialog now that the Enter method works.  just an idea.
