A button to clone the current tiddler?

[hubertgk]

Hi All,

Is it possible to clone the current tiddler (including all its contents and, if possible, tags) upon a press of a button? I couldn't find anything relevant in the documentation.

What I'm trying to achieve: I have a list of tiddlers tagged 'template' and would like to embed this button within the list so that by clicking a button next to the chosen 'template' tiddler I could create a clone of that template for use.

Thanks in advance for suggestions!

Best,

Hubert

see https://tiddlywiki.com/#WidgetMessage%3A%20tm-new-tiddler

as per the documentation example:

<$button message="tm-new-tiddler" param="TaskTemplate">New Task</$button>

Thus, for your use-case:

<$list filter="[tag[template]]">
   <$link><$text text=<<currentTiddler>>/></$link>
   <$button message="tm-new-tiddler" param=<<currentTiddler>>>
      {{$:/core/images/clone-button}}
   </$button>
</$list>

 

enjoy,

Hi Hubert,

You can activate the standard clone-button in a tiddler’s info panel (in the dropdown under the more-down-arrow).

Happy cloning!
