[TW5] The NewtiddlerWidget

[Stephan Hradek]

http://skeeve.tiddlyspot.com/#test%20newtiddler

This is a test for the highly experimental New-Tiddler-Button.

The New-Tiddler-Button expects 2 parameters:

Parameter	Mandatory	Explanation
title	yes	the title of the new tiddler. Will get numbers appended
skeleton	yes	an existing tiddler which may contain variable placeholders
edit	no	This defines wether to open the new tiddler in edit mode. Must be one of "yes", "no" or (not implemented yet) "inline

The most important part lies in the skeleton! TiddlyWiki already can clone tiddlers, but you can't really prefill data of the newly created tiddler.

With <$newtiddler> you can put placeholders of the form $(variable)$ anywhere in the tiddler and they will be replaced by the values of the variables set with the <$set> or <$let> widget. Please note: The placeholders can be anywhere! In the tiddlers body, in fields, types, you name it…

The example skeleton used here looks like this:

Property	Content
title	skeleton 1
text	This is some test: $(placeholder)$
tags	$(tag1)$
field1	$(f1)$
field2	$(f2)$

If we now put this into our tiddler:

<$let f1=<<uuid>> f2="field-2" placeholder="pl1" tag1="testtag">
<$newtiddler title="test" skeleton="skeleton 1">Create</$newtiddler>
</$let>

We get a (Create) button.

Clicking it, will open a new tiddler with some values pre-filled.

I forgot to mention: This absolutely must be reviewed by someone with experience. I'm totally sure I did some unconventional stuff which is not appreciated :D

IMO there is a clone tiddler possibility in the core. Doesn't it do, what you want?
the "param" parameter can take a "skeleton" tiddler, that will be cloned. including tags and fields.

Nope!

It does not do what I want.

1. It can't change the title
2. It cant' change field values
3. It can't change the text
4. It can#t change the type
5. It can't add tags
6. …

Thanks for creating this!
I use this to create tasks. Is there a way to tag the newly created tiddler with the current tiddler?

Also, the "edit=yes" doesn't seem to work for me.

Please note that it is a very old thread you are replying to, @Matthew.

 

Is there a way to tag the newly created tiddler with the current tiddler?

Yes, under the More button (the downpointing arrow/bracket), simply click "new here". You can also make this button appear in the tiddler toolbar directly, via Controlpanel>Appearance>Toolbars>ViewToolbar

<:-)

Thanks! That did it.
