[TW5] Conditional Caption

[infurnoape]

Would it be possible to have a caption field display as an icon if in a tab, but as text if in a dropdown list? My favorites tab displays as a star icon in the sidebar tab, but in the settings tab, just a blank line shows for the caption in the dropdown for default tab in sidebar.

OK, well, here is what I did.

I put the following in the caption field: 

<span class="tc-btn-dropdown" title={{$:/language/SideBar/Favorites/Caption}}>{{$:/core/images/star-filled}}</span><span class="tc-favorites-hidden">{{$:/language/SideBar/Favorites/Caption}}</span>

and the following in the stylesheet:

.tc-btn-dropdown + .tc-favorites-hidden {
    display: none;
}

If anyone has any better ideas, please let me know. Here is my new updated version 0.0.8 of Favorites.

Hi Andrew,

May I suggest not to use the system tag $:/tags/favorite to make a tiddler is a favorite?

It's just... that looks rather ugly... and should be reserved to system components.

Why not just use a tag called ★ or Favorites?

Also, why hide the favorite button once a tiddler is a favorite,

rather than highlight the button as if active?

Best wishes,

Tobias.
