transclusion and parameterized template

[Jean-Pierre Rivière]

The transclude widget dos not offer any template use option.

the wiki syntax for transclusion requires a fixed template although it allows for a computed source tiddler.

That is:

we can have {{<<ds>>!!temp}}

but not {{<<ds>>!!<<temp>>}}

and it would be fine to get <$transclude tiddler=<<ds>> template=<<temp>>/>

I also tried to have a tiddler where the "datasource" and "template" field where valorized at my target values and whose text was

{{<$transclude field=datasource>>!!<$transclude field=template/>}}

{{<$transclude field=datasource>>!!my-real-template}}

the second form does work.

I tried some tricks with text and wikify widgets, but I've never been able to parametize the template tiddler name on way or another.

Two things that might be helpful:

1) {{tiddlerName||templateName}}

2) the above is a shortcut syntax for

<$tiddler tiddler="tiddlerName">

<$translude tiddler="templateName">

</$tiddler>

Than you Saq!

I had read the «transclusion with templates" doc several times. The hint you've just gave me was not evident from my reading. Although I was skeptical about not finding the widget equivalent of {{tiddler||template}} because I know that each wiki syntax is translated into widgets.

Here is the code if the tiddler used as a form holds two fields "datasource" and "template". The block mode is needed for full wiki syntax support (like a !!title)

<$vars temp={{!!template}}>

<$tiddler tiddler={{!!datasource}}><$transclude tiddler=<<temp>> mode=block/></$tiddler>

</$vars>

Something you may find useful:

With the Internals plugin installed, you can turn on the preview in the editor and see the parse tree and widget tree for any wikitext.
