[TW5] Creating a ViewTemplate to show some text above the content

[Alexander Eckert]

Hi,

I'm new to TW and I try to create my own knowledgebase. Therefore I'm building my own Plugins to use their function in different wikis.

ATM I'm trying to create a ViewTemplate to show some text (in this case the author of a book) above the edited content of the tiddler. But every content in the text-field is shown above my VieTemplate code.

I tried <transclude /> and {{!!text}} to show the text-content below, but everytime I use this I get the content shown twice. Above and below the name and link of the author.

How could I suppress the content at the beginning inside the ViewTemplate and insert the text at the place I want the content to appear?

Kind regards,

Alex

To do this you set where in the main view template you want your template to appear. The normal tiddler view template is made up of a few separate parts that are displayed using a list widget.
So to change the position or your viewtemplate in the order you can create a field called 'list-after' and put the part you want your template listed after in that field. The options are:

$:/core/ui/ViewTemplate/body
$:/core/ui/ViewTemplate/subtitle
$:/core/ui/ViewTemplate/tags
$:/core/ui/ViewTemplate/title

You will probably want to use $:/core/ui/ViewTemplate/tags.

Thank you very much. This worked for me. I split up my ViewTemplate in "before" and "after" and it worked =)

Nice, thanks.
