how can i transclude a variable tiddler?

[Tony K]

I want to transclude a tiddler with title Today's date and put its content into a variable ...

what i tried

        <$transclude tiddler=<<now>> />

works but can't put the resut in a variable

<$set name=content value={{<<now>>}} >

doesn't work

what other options do I have please?

[Saq Imtiaz]

<$set name=content value=<<now>> >

[Tony K]

this will get me the value of <<now>>  if the variable content right?

what I want is the content of the tiddler with title the restulf of <<now>>

[Saq Imtiaz]

try <$transclude tiddler={{{ [<now>] }}} /> but note that the value of now will change every minute.

<$transclude tiddler=<<now>> /> works but i want the result in a variable or field

Have you thought of using

{{!!title}} to access the current Tiddlers title?

Use this as the value={{!!title}} in a set widget but keep in mind the title equals <<current TIddler>> already

It would help to explain what you actually want to do.

The default <<now>> changes every minute. Do you really have an entire day's worth of tiddlers made in advance that would match <<now>> ? If you just want to fetch contents for the day, then you're going to need to use a format with the macro that limits the output to just the current day.

Good luck!

In this version it's assumed that you only want to transclude one tiddler for one day, and the format is YYYY-0MM-0DD.

<$wikify name="now2" text=<<now YYYY-0MM-0DD>>>
<<now2>><br/>
<$set filter="[<now2>get[text]]" name="curday" select=0>
<<curday>>
</$set>
</$wikify>

The value of the tiddler ends up in variable <<curday>>

where have you been :)

it is exactly what I was looking for

took me a couple of hours to find it on my own but here was my solution 

<$set name=currentContent  tiddler=<<now YYYY-0MM-0DD>> fied=text>

</$set>
