How do I set tags in action-createtiddler?

[Mat]

I wish to create a new tiddler using action-createtiddler (because it uses the "basetitle" to prevent overwrites). I define the title and tags values via a temp tiddler in some EditTextWidgets, as you see below.

But I want the new tiddler tags to be both this arbitrary temp!!tgs value AND and the title of the current tiddler (i.e {{!!title}}). The temp!!tgs value is not surrounded by brackets and it may contain spaces. The current tiddlers title is a normal tiddler title.

I'd appreciate any help on how I can set the tags here?

\define newtid()

<$button> click

<$action-createtiddler $basetitle={{temp!!ttl}}  tags=????????/>

</$button>

\end

<$edit-text tiddler=temp field=ttl/>

<$edit-text tiddler=temp field=tgs/>

<<newtid>>

I've only been able to do this sort of thing by taking advantage of the fact that buttons can fire two actions in sequential order: <$button action<<second_action>>> <<first_action>></$button>.

So you can use <$action-createtidder $savetitle="$:/temp/new_button_tiddler"> in <<first_action>> to save the *actual* title and not the base title and then use it in in the second_action like:

<$fieldmangler tiddler={{$:/temp/new_button_tiddler}}>
<$action-sendmessage $message="tm-add-tag" $param=<<currentTiddler>>/>
</$fieldmangler>

See https://sextant.space/#ButtonHere

and stick a {{||ButtonHere}} in a new tiddler to see it in action.

You might be able to adapt it to your needs.

Hi Mat

This is one quick solution

\define mytags() [[$(tag1)$]] $(tag2)$
\define newtid()
<$button> click
<$vars tag1=<<currentTiddler>> tag2={{temp!!tgs}}>
<$action-createtiddler $basetitle={{temp!!ttl}}  tags=<<mytags>> />
</$vars>

</$button>
\end

<$edit-text tiddler=temp field=ttl/>

<$edit-text tiddler=temp field=tgs/>

<<newtid>>

* the mytags macro makes a substitution so with the help of $vars it returns the wikified values

* in the second inputbox you can enter xx yy to add two tags at the same time

* if your tag has space in name use [[my tag with space]] xx yy This will add all three tags plus currentTiddler

* If you always want to enter one tag including those with space then correct the mytags macro as below

\define mytags() [[$(tag1)$]] [[$(tag2)$]]

Best wishes

Mohammad

Just for variety

\define newtid()

<$vars lb="[[" rb="]]" spc=" ">

<$button> click

<$action-createtiddler $basetitle={{temp!!ttl}}  tags={{{[{temp!!tgs}addsuffix<rb>addsuffix<spc>addsuffix<lb>addsuffix<currentTiddler>addprefix<lb>addsuffix<rb>]}}}     />

</$button>

</$vars>

\end

<$edit-text tiddler=temp field=tgs/>

Guys, thank you! I'll look closer at it tomorrow but I'm pretty sure your solutions will solve it! Thank you.

Mat,

Mohammad used a macro to do the concatenation of values and Mark used the triple curly braces to use a filter to do the concatenation. These are both good methods

• In some cases the macro approach will need the result be be wikifiy[ed] before use
• In other cases the triple curly braces approach may need to be wrapped in <$text text={{{ filter }}} /> to have the result as plain text.

I have started to document this here https://anthonymuscio.github.io/#%E2%9D%BD%20%20Joining%20values%20with%20concatenation

and also https://anthonymuscio.github.io/#%E2%9D%BB%20Filtered%20transclusions

I am confident we can develop a clearer approach to concatenation as well as document it further. My personal preference at the moment is the {{{ filter }}} method as long as you feel comfortable with filters,  this is because you can do the "concatenation" at the last possible movement, although it could have performance consequences.
