Dynamic Tables macro - turning table headers into links?

[Aaron]

Came across Dynamic Tables, a very cool macro for creating tables. One usability thing I'd like to change though is that the column/row titles aren't hyperlinks back to the Tiddlers they're showing the data from. I've tried modifying it a little but I'm pretty clueless here how to achieve this to be honest.

I'll have to look at dynamic tables, but column headers themselves would be hard to put links on-- since they would be linking to many tiddlers (all that it is displaying),  maybe a link using "button" widget to a tiddler with a flist ilter of all the column is displaying,  but normally you throw the links in the individual cells with <$link to="title"> </$link> around the <$view /> of the column cells.  This all would involve editing the macro itself.  Please advise if I'm misunderstanding : )

eg

<$link><$view field="title"/></$link>

<$link to={{!!title}}><$view field="caption"/></$link>

Barro,

Dynamictables is a great tool. Since a tiddler defines each column it would be possible to add column-header and column-footer fields that are wikified if they exist for each column.

I have done something similar and I call them column tiddlers. These columns can be unified by being tagged with a column list tiddler. A tag pill of the column list can be used to reorder columns.

I don't know why I didn't make them links before, or at least add that as an option. I think that I was trying to make the usage as simple as possible and had a time when I didn't want the titles to be links in the table.

Those are one of the many things I need to update to use some of the newer features in more recent tiddlywiki versions.

The change you want is pretty simple to make, I will try see about updating these now because I am having no success focusing on anything else today.
