Transcluded tiddler titles

[andrew.j.harrison84]

Does anyone have any best practices or plugins to serialize tiddler titles so that if you change the title name for a tiddler it will be updated in all references that used that tiddlers serial number? I am finding that if a tiddler title is changed, I end up with a bunch of broken links I have to go fix.

[andrew.j.harrison84]

Let me rephrase my question. Is there a way to transclude a tiddlers title from say a section in another tiddler? I want to be able to change it one place and have it change all instances in my wiki that reference it, especially pritty links. I find a title change breaks a whole bunch of links and I want something easier.

There may be better methods, but as I'm constantly using grep-type search and replace tools, I just do it that way. If your changes are limited to a single TW you could do so in any coding editor.

I want to provide this to my non tech-savy team so I need something close to automatic.

Have a look at MPTW, it has a plugin that might help

If the title is used as a tag, and you change it, then it will offer to update.

nvm. I figured out my own problem. I just put a serial number in my hidden tiddler names area at the bottom of my tiddler and then in a tiddler called tiddlernames as a slice and then I use the serial number with the AliasPlugin and walla I only have to change the names in 2 places. I wish I could reduce it to 1.

I seem to remember that you used regex and TiddlerTweaker for mass
changes. What would these be? Perhaps it wouldn't be too tough to wrap
that in a RenameTiddlersPlus kind of plugin hijacking the cores'
renaming function as MGSDs RenameTags does?

Perhaps later a step based process could be created on top where first
the user would be given a list of tiddlers along with a pre-set
checkbox, title and the content surrounding the match... and
eventually a button to update the selected tiddlers.

I thought I had it all worked out but discovered that my pritty link takes me to the tiddlername tiddler instead of the tiddler I refernce in a slice or even if I use sections. Isn't there a way to use the information from a slice from one tiddler for the target of a pritty link?

[andrew.j.harrison84]

So maybe I could just transclude the whole pritty link... just trying to solve my own problem.

[andrew.j.harrison84]

Yeah. That finally worked.
