Table of Contents behavior

[Stefan Schlechter]

Hello,

I would like to expand the next level of entries by clicking on title in TOC ( as it is by clicking on '>') instead of opening the tiddler.

How can I archieve that?

Thanks

Stefan

Hi Stefan,

It looks like you'd like to modify the behaviour of the toc-selective-expandable macro. The necessary changes for this particular case would be contained within the toc-linked-selective-expandable-body macro. Both are defined in $:/core/macros/toc.

You'd need to redefine (override) toc-linked-selective-expandable-body to:

1) remove the tiddler link

2) display the tiddler's caption/title within the fold/unfold button, for tiddlers that have more tiddlers downstream in the ToC, and

3) display the tiddler's caption/title by itself for tiddlers that have nothing below them in the ToC hierarchy. (If you wanted, you could make just these captions tiddler links)

I suggest making a new macro tiddler (tag it with $:/tags/Macro) with something like the following in it. I've highlighted (I think) all the changes I made. Obviously anything that's commented out could just be removed.

\define toc-linked-selective-expandable-body(tag,sort:"",itemClassFilter,exclude,path)
<$qualify name="toc-state" title={{{ [[$:/state/toc]addsuffix<__path__>addsuffix[-]addsuffix<currentTiddler>] }}}>
  <$set name="toc-item-class" filter=<<__itemClassFilter__>> emptyValue="toc-item-selected" value="toc-item" >
    <li class=<<toc-item-class>>>
      <!--<$link to={{{ [<currentTiddler>get[target]else<currentTiddler>] }}}> -->
          <$list filter="[all[current]tagging[]$sort$limit[1]]" variable="ignore" emptyMessage="<$button class='tc-btn-invisible'>{{$:/core/images/blank}} <<toc-caption>></$button>">
          <$reveal type="nomatch" stateTitle=<<toc-state>> text="open">
            <$button setTitle=<<toc-state>> setTo="open" class="tc-btn-invisible tc-popup-keep">
              {{$:/core/images/right-arrow}}<<toc-caption>>
            </$button>
          </$reveal>
          <$reveal type="match" stateTitle=<<toc-state>> text="open">
            <$button setTitle=<<toc-state>> setTo="close" class="tc-btn-invisible tc-popup-keep">
              {{$:/core/images/down-arrow}}<<toc-caption>>
            </$button>
          </$reveal>
        </$list>
       <!-- <<toc-caption>> -->
      <!--</$link> -->
      <$reveal type="match" stateTitle=<<toc-state>> text="open">
        <$macrocall $name="toc-selective-expandable" tag=<<currentTiddler>> sort=<<__sort__>> itemClassFilter=<<__itemClassFilter__>> exclude=<<__exclude__>> path=<<__path__>>/>
      </$reveal>
    </li>
  </$set>
</$qualify>
\end

The definition of toc-caption can be found at the top of $:/core/macros/toc.

Hope that helps,

Chris

Hi Chris,

thanks for feedback.

I've implemented your mentioned changesabove  -> that will remove all links - also from the last level of TOC 'Story 1, Story 2 etc.'

How can this be done:

3) display the tiddler's caption/title by itself for tiddlers that have nothing below them in the ToC hierarchy. (If you wanted, you could make just these captions tiddler links)

Thanks

Stefan

Hi,

Have a closer look here: https://tiddlywiki.com/#Table-of-Contents%20Macros

Search for the field: toc-link: no parameter

IMO there is no need to change the macro code.

D'oh! I'd say there's no shame in being out-TWed by Mario, but this is actually demonstrated in the tiddlywiki.com tiddler "Example Table of Contents: Selectively Expandable", where the tiddler "SecondThree" has the toc-link: no field and works great. So mea culpa for assuming how the rest of the macro would handle things. Sorry, Stefan. Sorry, Mario!

Best,

Chris

[Stefan Schlechter]

Yes - that's it!

Thanks to Mario and Chris

Greetings,

Stefan
