How to apply a template to every tiddler with a certain tag?

[si]

Hi there

As per the title, I am trying to apply Template1 to every tiddler tagged "tag1" and Template2 to every tiddler tagged "tag2".

I am aware that a template tagged $:/tags/ViewTemplate will apply to all tiddlers in the wiki, but I can't figure out anything beyond that?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Can a template be applied after the tiddler is created, without transclusion? That doesn't seem possible...

Anyone know?

Adian,

Using the view template tag like Mark suggested - with his conditional test will show on any tiddler matching his condition.

• In many ways this is a template applied after the tiddler is created.
• Perhaps you are thinking about a template to pre-populate the text field?
• A subsequent application of a text field template would overwrite the existing text field yes.
• View templates are telling tiddlywiki what to display when viewing a tiddler
• You can make tiddler fields visible on the view template
• You can introduce other content, buttons and links and more
• You could have the text field contain a transclusion of another tiddler (a template) to do something similar to the view template in that tiddler alone
• But the text field must contain this transclusion
• The view template allows you to overlay the view of the tiddler with what every you want and keep the text field free for text content
• You may be interested to know in a recent tiddlywiki app I made the text field is a purely optional "note" field and is often empty. All the tiddlers specific details are stored in fields and made visible through the view template.

Regards

Tony

Does that help?
