I want to know how can I get a tiddler text formatted as a .tid file. I'm trying to follow the logic behind the Export tiddler, but I'm getting lost.

TiddlyWiki generates .tid files using this template:

$:/core/templates/tid-tiddler

There's an example of programmatically generating a tiddler file here:

https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/blob/master/plugins/tiddlywiki/filesystem/filesystemadaptor.js#L142-L150

The code is made more complicated by the need to switch to the correct template; you'll be able to simplify it if you're always using the .tid template.

Many thanks

Dam! I think I have tried that already!

This is working more or less fine:

content = $tw.wiki.renderTiddler("text/plain",'$:/core/templates/tid-tiddler',{variables: {currentTiddler: 'HelloThere'}});

Seems that $tw.config.typeTemplates is not available in the browser. In any case, it only contains one template, correct? 

Thank you very much! you made my day

Another question:

Is it possible to override certain field passing the new field value as an option? For example, if I want to override the tags when rendering, but I don't want to change the tiddler on the store.

Hi Danielo,

 

Is it possible to override certain field passing the new field value as an option? 

For example, if I want to override the tags when rendering, but I don't want to change the tiddler on the store.

That's a neat idea for ui-automation,

perhaps even via introspection.

You’d need to duplicate the template "$:/core/templates/tid-tiddler” and change it to exclude the fields you want. Here’s what it looks like at the moment:

<!--

This template is used for saving tiddlers in TiddlyWeb *.tid format

--><$fields exclude='text bag' template='$name$: $value$
'></$fields>`
`<$view field="text" format="text" />

You can extend the “exclude” attribute of the <$fields> widget with as many fields as you need.

Best wishes

That is a very nice tip!! I think I looked at that template, but it is obvious that I did not. Thank you very much Jeremy

Hi Jeremy,

 

exclude='text bag'

Might I ask why any bag field would currently be excluded?

The commit message says:

"They're just an artefact of syncing"

Don't quite understand what that means.
Does any existing TW5 <> TiddlyWeb integration not need / save them?

Or is it that they would be problematic later
when imported into TiddlyWeb without that bag existing?

Best wishes,

As I remember it, there were circumstances when we get a “bag” field from TiddlyWeb that we don’t need to retain. It dates from some of the very early work on TW5 which was around building TW2 with the TW5 code, including pulling content down from TiddlySpace.
