Getting Form data and Checkbox to play together

[paul....@gmail.com]

I've a series of tiddlers identied with a tag as an ActionItem. Each
of those tiddlers are built UdoBorkowski's FormTiddlerMacro. I want
to print out a list of all of the tiddlers that are not marked as
complete (using Eric Shulman's CheckboxPlugin) and extract the data
field containing the tiddler.data("aiTitle"). So it would look
something like:

[ ] AI001 Fix the Bathroom
[ ] AI004 Plan vacation

I've two code sippets, that both do 1/2 of the job. The first I can't
figure out how to add a checkbox. The second has the checkbox but I
can't extract the aiTitle information.

___snippet_1___

<<forEachTiddler
where
'tiddler.tags.contains("ActionItem") && ! tiddler.tags.contains
("Completed")'
sortBy
'tiddler.title'
script
'function writeActionItems(tiddler, index) {var result =""; if (index
==0)
{
result +="|!Number|!Description|\n";}
result +="|"+tiddler.title+"|"+"[["+tiddler.data("aiTitle")
+"|"+tiddler.title+"]]"+"|"+"\n"
; return result;
}'
write
'writeActionItems(tiddler,index)'>>

___snippet_2___
<<forEachTiddler
where
'tiddler.tags.contains("ActionItem") && ! tiddler.tags.contains
("Completed")'
sortBy
'tiddler.title'
write
"'[X('+tiddler.title+':Completed)] [['+tiddler.title
+'|'+tiddler.title+']]\n'">>

OK, if no one understands my question, can you give me clues to what I
need to tell you so everyone understands my problem. Or if the
problem is clear, perhaps a checkbox 101 explanation would help me.

You could use an 'ActionItem' checkbox to your FormTemplate, then use
that instead of tags to do your fET search?

I'll play with that idea. But what is so slick about the checkbox
macro in the second snippet is that it is a system macro and when you
click on the box it changes the tag on the tiddler. I wish I
understood better how the write function worked so I could pass what
checkbox expects.

One way to combine your snippets would be:

<<forEachTiddler
where
'tiddler.tags.contains("ActionItem") && ! tiddler.tags.contains
("Completed")'
sortBy
'tiddler.title'
script
'function writeActionItems(tiddler, index) {var result =""; if (index
==0)
{

result +="|!Completed?|!Number|!Description|\n";}
result +="|[X("+tiddler.title+":Completed)]|"+tiddler.data
("aiTitle")+"|[["+tiddler.title+"]]|\n";
return result;
}'
write
'writeActionItems(tiddler,index)'>>

That worked, now all I have to do is figure out what I was doing wrong.
