[TW5] Put title of tiddler in filter of fields

[Alex]

Hi, I'm trying to filter and transclude tiddlers with a special field and the title of current tiddler, but nothing worked:

1)

<$list filter="[field:relatedto[$(title)$]">

''<$transclude field="caption" />''

<$transclude />

</$list>

I'm trying to transclude all tiddlers, which got the name of the current in the "relatedto" field. But this did not work. I already tried:

<$list filter="[field:relatedto[!!title]">

<$list filter="[field:relatedto{{!!title}}]">

<$list filter="[field:relatedto<currentTiddler>]">

<$list filter="[field:relatedto<<currentTiddler>>]">

<$list filter="[field:relatedto[{{!title}}]">


Nothing works.

2)

Same here:

<<tabs "[tag<<{{!!title}}field:relatedto[]] " "" "$:/state/tab2" "tc-vertical">>


Here, I want to show all tiddlers in the vertical tab-view, which got the title of the current as a tag. But I always had to "hardcode" the title of the current tiddler and could not transclude the title in the filters


Anyone got an idea?

Best regards,

Alex

Someone wrote up a big list of how all of this works, but I don't know where it is at the moment. The quick answer is you use single curly braces in filters when referring to fields like this:

<$list filter="[field:relatedto{!!title}]">

If you are trying to refer to a variable you use single < and > like this:

<$list filter="[field:relatedto<currentTiddler>]">

if you inside a macro and are referring to a variable that is define outside the macrocell you can use

<$list filter="[field:relatedto[$(variableName)$]]'>

Hi Jed,

thanks for your answer.

<$list filter="[field:relatedto{!!title}]">

This works.

If you are trying to refer to a variable you use single < and > like this:

<$list filter="[field:relatedto<currentTiddler>]">

This works, too.

if you inside a macro and are referring to a variable that is define outside the macrocell you can use

<$list filter="[field:relatedto[$(variableName)$]]'>

My problem was, that I did not thought about this variable. I got no list on my "preview" during editing this tiddler. But now I get, at this moment this variable contains "Draft of ....". Only after exiting the editing-mode I got the real title.

This leads to my second problem: If I try to transclude this tiddler to some other tiddlers, the "title"-variable changes and the content ist not shown.

Example:

Tiddler A: (field relatedto:"B")

Text A

Tiddler B: (tag: "C")

<$list filter="[field:relatedto[$(title)$]">

''<$transclude field="caption" />''

<$transclude />

</$list>


Text B


looks like:

Text A
Text B

Tiddler C:

<<tabs "[tag{!!title}field:relatedto[]] " "" "$:/state/tab2" "tc-vertical">>

Text C

**tag=C & field relatedto is empty

looks like:

Text B
Text C

Because {{!!title}} of Tiddler B is now "C" and not "B". How could I force Tiddler C to get the output text of Tiddler B and not take the coded text with the "{{!!title}}"-variable to looks like:

Text A
Text B
Text C

[Alex]

OK, I did it like that:

Tiddler A: (field relatedto:"B")

Text A

Tiddler B: (tag: "C")

<$tiddler tiddler=<<currentTab>>>



<$list filter="[field:relatedto{!!title}]">



''<$transclude field="caption" />''

<$transclude />

</$list>


</$tiddler>


Text B


looks like:

Text A
Text B

Tiddler C:

<<tabs "[tag{!!title}field:relatedto[]] " "" "$:/state/tab2" "tc-vertical">>

Text C

**tag=C & field relatedto is empty

now looks like:

Text A
Text B
Text C
