NewTiddlerWithFormMacro

[Hal]

I am using abego extension newTiddlerWithFormMacro. I would like the
newly created macro to have a tag when it is created. Following his
example in the info section of the plugin, I created this:

<<newTiddlerWithForm
FormTemplate
"New Account"
'"New Account Name"' askUser
>>

That works. It creates a dialog box that prompts the user to alter the
title and then creates the new tiddler. But I don't see how to add a
tag. The user would then have to edit the newly created tiddler and
add the tag. That will not work for my purposes.

If I use the newTiddler macro rather than the newTiddlerWithForm macro
to create a new tiddler following this example in the macro info
section:

<<newTiddler
label:"Button Label"
text:{{"<<formTiddler [[MyTemplateTiddler]]>"+">"}}
tag:"MyTag1"
tag:"Three Word Tag"
>>

That also works. And it embeds the tag into the new tiddler. But it
creates the tiddler directly, rather than through the dialog box. The
user then has to edit the title and click "done." I'd rather avoid
that as well.

I would prefer the dialog box BUT to have the tag embedded into the
new tiddler. Is there a way to do that?

Thanks,
Hal

I think we've all been there a few times - "The missing tag-feature"
of the newTiddlerWithForm macro is really annoying - and makes it
completely useless if you want to exploit the great features of
HideWhenPlugin or TiddlyTweakerPlugin...

TwabPlugin http://www.tiddly-twab.com/#TwabPlugin solves the problem
to some extent, however it needs inlineJavascriptPlugin- and I can't
figure out how to create a newTiddlerWithForm macro from looking at
it's code..

Another pretty anoying thing is the fact that htmlforms are not
refreshed/rendered when you use the tabmacro <<tab ... >> This is a
serious obstacle if you want to use htmlforms in a TW...

Sorry I could not provide a reasonable workaround. Good luck!!

Mans,

Thanks for your response--even if it wasn't the one I was hoping for.

I wanted to be able to group the newly created tiddlers by tags. I'll
have to explore forEachTiddler further to see if I can aggreated them
that way.

I'm not using any htmlforms in tabs, so I haven't run into that
problem.

Thanks,
Hal

Hi Hal,
Perhaps what you're looking for could be accomplished with NewSavedTiddlerPlugin:
http://mgsd.tiddlyspot.com/demo3.html#NewSavedTiddlerPlugin

I think that should allow you to do something like:
<<newSavedTiddler
        label:"Button Label"
        text:{{store.getTiddlerText('MyTemplateTiddler')}}
        tag:'MyTag1 [[Three Word Tag]]'
>>

cmari,

Bingo!! That's exactly what I need. Thanks so much for bringing that
plugin to my attention.

The whole mgsd demo is fascinating. I'll have to spend some time
studying it.

Thanks,
Hal

That works ... but I wonder if its possible for fill in the fields in the form

I have a 'Character' template and the title should correspond to first name + second name.

Yuppie!
This seems to bring me close to solve a problem I have longed for so
much time...
I want ot create a tiddler wich creates a tiddler containig the actual
story including a button to open the story contained with the story
saver plugin...
I imagine this could be usefull very for a lot of people...

I used this famous newSavedTiddlerPlugin >
http://mgsd.tiddlyspot.com/demo3.html#NewSavedTiddlerPlugin

Creating a macrobutton:
<<newSavedTiddler
label:"Save this Story"
text:{{store.getTiddlerText('SaveStoryTemplateTiddler')}}

tag:'MyTag1 [[Three Word Tag]]'
>>

...and a SaveStoryTemplateTiddler

<script>
var out = "" ;
story.forEachTiddler(function(t){
var tid=store.getTiddler(t);
if(tid&&!tid.isTagged("excludeStory"))
out+="[["+t+"]]\n";})
return out ;
</script>
<<openStory {{tiddler.title}} "Open this Story" "Display all the
tiddlers listed above...">>

Now here is the remainig problem:
The script should be rendered to save the current storyline, not to
display the one actually opened on a later moment.
How do I accomplish this.

Is there something like "clickyfy" for this cause...?

Hopefully Jan

Rather than fetching the tiddler text being the script, I believe you rather want to run that script in the context of your newSavedTiddler macro call.

So, the solution would look something like this (untested)...

<<newSavedTiddler label:"Save this Story"
text:{{

var out = "";
story.forEachTiddler(function(t){
    var tid=store.getTiddler(t);
        if(tid&&!tid.isTagged("excludeStory"))
            out+="[["+t+"]]\n";
})

out;}}

tag:'MyTag1 [[Three Word Tag]]'

Hello Eric, hello Tobias,
 thanks for your answers. I just read them for my mailclient fetched them too slowly and so I already had posted a new request under the title "Merging a function an a template into one new Tiddler"
Your solutions both work well for the first part of my problem but it is a little more complex, for i want two ad two (formated) buttons to open the story in the tiddler created.
Eric, perhaps it would be an Idea to fit in the option to create a button that will automatically open the contained story in the storyTiddler created by your storySaverPlugin. Somthing like <<openStory {{tiddler.title}} "Open this Story">>

Here is post describing the problem.

Hello
I want to create a new tiddler wich contains a) a Linklist of the actual Tiddlers b) a quite complicated expression with Macro and Formatting  that I would like to extract from a templateTiddler...

So far I got this:
{<<clickify newTiddler
   label:"save this story!" focus:title tag:[[Tag Tag]]:Stunde
   title:{{prompt('bitte geben Sie einen Namen für Ihre Zusammenstellung ein','')}}
   text:{{
      var out="";

      story.forEachTiddler(function(t){
   var tid=store.getTiddler(t);
    if(tid&&!tid.isTagged("excludeStory"))
      out+="[["+t+"]]\n";})
      out;
   }}>>

This works well an produces a tiddler containing links to all Tiddlers open at that moment.

Now I would like to ad somthing lig this this in the text field

'store.getTiddlerText('StoryButtonSetTemplate');

to insert two formated Buttons from a templateTiddler which allow to display the story both as a slide show and as a row of tiddlers.

Is this somehow possible?

hopefully Jan

Or that ;-)

To be precise, I guess what you are implying is to use the saveStory macro, correct?
