Hi guys,

As the title says, yet another question regarding new tiddlers creation.
I have a tiddler template which contains only a form created in html, from which I derivate many tiddlers which all look like this :
<<formTiddler MyTemplate>>
<data>{content}</data>

So except for the tiddler title, all the tiddler's content can be filled-in in the form that is available in "view" mode, much easier than by actually editing the <data>......</data> chunk in edit mode.

Therefore, what I'd like is to duplicate a classic <<newTiddler>> button into another similar button that would just prompt for the tiddler's future title (a dialog box for example) instead of going to edit mode only for that, and then show it immediately in view mode, with the "<<formTiddler MyTemplate>>" as text, ready to be filled-in.

Does that make sense ? And is it possible ?

Nicolas.

This question has come up before, and Saq whipped up a quick solution:
