Note the much shorter syntax for the dateTime macrocall: > instead of. Now you can use the values of these fields wherever you want with syntax: is old. To also save it on disk, click the large Save button again (see above). This stores the new tiddler in memory, but not yet on disk. Finish the creation of the new tiddler by clicking ✓. Repeat the process for the new field birthdate and enter the baby's birth date in the notation yyyymmdd (for example if the baby was born on 31 October 2013, enter 20131031). Now you can enter a value for the field, so enter your baby's first name. At Add a new field, enter firstname and click the Add button. To easily access these from elsewhere, we put them in fields. In the text area below the title you can write whatever you like about the baby, but there are 2 special bits of information that we want to use in other parts of the journal too: the baby's first name and birth date. Click on the big + button and enter as title for the new tidder: Personal data. Let's create a tiddler that contains some general information about your baby. They are comparable to pages or articles in other wikis. In TiddlyWiki, information is stored in tiddlers. See the TiddlyWiki website for more information. You could also use TiddlyDesktop which is a standalone application providing a browser and easy management of TiddlyWiki files. For Firefox, it can be made a one-click affair by installing an extension. Of course, the saving process is a bit awkward with that file requestor. There, that was the basic process of editing the TiddlyWiki file: open it in the browser, make some modifications and then click Save. Your browser will ask you for a location to save the file, which can be the same location where you originally saved the file. Click the Control Panel button and enter a title at Title of this TiddlyWiki, and maybe a subtitle at Subtitle. Let's start by giving your journal a title. Save the file wherever you like, and then open it with your browser.
TIDDLYDESKTOP OPENING DOWNLOAD
Download it at by clicking the large green button that says Download Empty. To start creating the journal, you need an empty TiddlyWiki. For our baby journalling purpose, we will create a faily standard TiddlyWiki file with one customization: the entry's date and the baby's age will appear at the top of each journal entry. It's highly customizable and has many different uses.
TIDDLYDESKTOP OPENING SOFTWARE
It's an interesting piece of software that implements a wiki type of application in a single html file which contains all the html, JavaScript and css needed to run the application as well as the data that the user puts into the wiki. Check the TiddlyWiki website for any additional help. I think it all works pretty straightforward, but do remember to click the big Save button before exiting your browser. However, if you're a non-technical parent who just came here looking for a simple baby journal application, you may (almost) stop reading, download the finished version of the file we're about to create over here, unzip it, open BabyJournal.html in your favourite browser, enter your baby's details in the Personal data section and start creating journal entries. Now, this is a blog mainly about developing software, and here's where things start to get all technical and fun.
The journal will be based on TiddlyWiki 5, created by Jeremy Ruston.
