Issue: Data Dictionary Record not showing in "input" box

[@TiddlyTweeter]

I'm working on an app that shows the plain code for a record from a Data Dictionary in an "input" slot.

<span class="code-of-code">
<$edit-text tiddler="tools.icons.library.fa.all##2" tag="input" default="" placeholder="code to copy appears here" />
</span>

This shows nothing. Do I need to "escape" the tiddler address in some way to get the Data Dictionary record to turn up?

Update: the Data Dictionary is set to type: application/x-tiddler-dictionary

Any tips much appreciated.

Hi,

Did you set the type field of the tiddler: application/x-tiddler-dictionary   or   application/json?

Ciao Mario ...

Its set to: application/x-tiddler-dictionary

Hi Josiah

The “tiddler” attribute of the edit-text widget requires a simple tiddler title, not the full text reference including the index specifier that you are using. You’ll need to use the separate “index” attribute instead. For example:

<span class="code-of-code">
<$edit-text tiddler="tools.icons.library.fa.all" index="2" tag="input" default="" placeholder="code to copy appears here" />
</span>

Best wishes

Jeremy

What a weird name for a tiddler. Looks like you are accessing nested JSON properties, but not, confusing.

LOL!

Ciao Danielo. FWIW whilst I'm making something I use that naming method. Its so I can easily see & find all the bits under a consistent naming system different from what's normally done--so they stand out. If that TW ever went public (it might) I'd figure out what is the correct placing for them in the TW normal naming.

Not that weird -- all the core tiddlers have names that make them look like part of a directory structure, so you're in good company.
