This is a plugin for the brilliant wiki system TiddlyWiki5, located at http://www.tiddlywiki.com

This is a Control Panel extension that aims to simplify the plugin creation and editing process. After installing, you will find a new tab in your control panel that makes creating and modifying plugins a little bit easier.

There are a few ways you could install Tinka into your own wiki:

• Go to tinkaplugin.github.io and Drag&Drop from there.
• Clone this repository and import the output/tinka.tid file into your wiki.
• Save the file located here and import it into your wiki.

I managed to update Tinka to work more nicely with newer versions of TiddlyWiki:

Changelog

• Fixed graphical glitches with newer versions of TW5
• Reworked the interface for modifying plugins
• Added the ability to select and unselect all search results when adding tiddlers to plugins
• name and description field are now used for both plugins and themes
• Added default filter to the search
• You can now attach notes to backups
• Renamed control panel tabs
• The version will correctly be set when creating a new plugin

This release fixes the following bugs:

Changelog

• Themes will now get the correct prefix $:/themes/ when packaging
• Fixed search results not linking properly
• Added description field when creating a new theme

After more than a year, Tinka is now on github and also released under the MIT license.

Changelog

• Packaging success now produces a modal that actively reminds the user to refresh the wiki.
• The search tab state is now kept in a temporary system tiddler.
• Added warning when repackaging themes that are not active.
• The 'Help Tab' functionality is now also available for plugins that do not follow the $:/plugins/... naming convention. In particular this applies to themes and core plugins.
• Fixed wrong headings for some modal dialogs.
• Older action widgets remodeled to use the (new) CommonAction widget as a base.
• Fixed error check that prevented users to enter a minimal core version dependency when creating a new plugin.

Changelog

• Added Help-Tab capabilities to quickly navigate between plugin tiddlers.
• Moved Create-Plugin wizard to its own tab.
• Redid Create-Plugin UI to be easier and more accessible.
• Backups can now also be downloaded/exported.
• Added more documentation.

Changelog

• The metadata section now include edit fields for the name and source fields.
• The //default search// box now only searches for title matches.
• Backups can now be exported/downloaded.
• Backups can now be restored and made active again. If another version of the plugin is already active, the option is given to back it up,before restoring the backup.

Warning: For this mechanism to work, there has to be an 'original-title' field present in the backup tiddler. This is automatically added by Tinka, however earlier versions of Tinka did not add this field. If you want to restore a backup from an earlier version of Tinka, you will have to add the 'original-title' field manually and populate it with the former title of the plugin tiddler, in order for the restore function to work.

Changelog

• The list of plugin tiddlers is now hidden by default, since some lists can get very long.
• Added a different search option (default/filter)
• Improved Documentation slightly
• Added a backup option, so a plugin can be backed up before repackaging.
