Hi

Im creating a few meta-tiddlers that ara supposed to mesh the data
from several other tiddler's custom fields.

Right now im using this method:

> Create a tiddler called [[SerialLink]], containing:
> ----------
> /%
> !out
> [[$1|$2]]
> !end
> %/<<tiddler SerialLink##out with:
> {{store.getValue('$1','serialnumber')}} [[$1]]>>
> ----------
> Then, use it like this:
>
> <<tiddler SerialLink with: TiddlerTitleA>>

(not my own idea but Eric Shulman's suggestion to a slightly different
problem http://groups.google.com/group/tiddlywiki/browse_thread/thread/bdc217a8f33bb9e3/d3e269456ca93d3b#d3e269456ca93d3b)

I've create a few other costumFieldLink tiddlers and it all works
perfectly.

But now I want to export the meta-tiddlers and my problem is that
their content outside of tiddlywiki is, obviously, just nonsense
(eg <<tiddler SerialLink with: TiddlerTitleA>> <<tiddler
SerialLink with: TiddlerTitleB>> <<tiddler SerialLink with:
TiddlerTitleC>> ).

Is there any smart way to circumvent this (without resorting to copy/
pase)

Ive tried exporting the tiddlers as xml using the exportiddlerplugin
and then running them through excel but I find that to be a rather
messy solution.

Should I mesh the data from the different tiddlers using another
technique or am i missing something export-wise?

My end goal is individual text-documents containing the same info (and
formatting) as the meta-tiddler display in view-mode inside
tiddlywiki.

Hopes this makes sense.

Hi Jakob

As I understand your post - what you want is to render an "independent
and csstrue wikification" of tiddlercontent?!

To me that's the same as printing a htmlsnapshot...

Try Eric's SnapshotPlugin http://www.tiddlytools.com/#SnapshotPlugin

It's great.

hi måns

that works pretty perfect as to what I am trying to do

but - and I know I am getting greedy now - is there a way to get the
plugin to spit out multiple files?

eg snapshot of tiddler: numberOne (content only) AND snapshot of
tiddler: numberTwo (content only) AND snapshot of tiddler: numberThree
(content only) AND....

See:
http://www.tiddlytools.com/#SnapshotPluginInfo

If you click the toolbar command 'more' you'll see the further toolbar
command 'snap' with every option greed can come up with..

Regards.

Hi

I have put the command snap in my toolbar, but i am missing a way to
get multiple tiddlers output as multiple files. Right now I can only
get the snap command to give me one file with multiple tiddlers.
Obviously i can just cut that file into multiple files but that sort
of feels like busy work. Hope this makes sense and that im not missing
something entirely.

I've just added a new choice to the snap droplist:
"story column (multiple files)"

As suggested, selecting this choice will automatically create multiple
HTML snapshot files, one for each tiddler currently displayed in the
story column. Unlike the "story column (one file)" choice, which asks
you for a single 'target' snapshot filename, when you select "story
column (multiple files)", each tiddler will be written to a separate
snapshot file, using the title of the tiddler as the name of the file
(e.g, "SomeTitle.html", "SomeOtherTitle.html", etc.)

Get the update (v1.3.0) here:

enjoy,

Thanks for this great improvement Eric!!
It also solves printing from multiple tabs not needing to use
ToggleTiddlersBar. (Which btw. doesn't work in Google Chrome)

It would be perfect if you could force 1 tiddler per page as well - to
compensate for Google Chromes lacking print preview...
It cannot be set in the StyleSheet either - it would be a nice
optional feature in SnapShotplugin.
