How to get the parent tag of another tag?

[Shash]

Hello all,

I am currently using the below list operator. Instead of just listing out the tiddlers based on the current tiddlers's tags, I would like to list the tiddlers of even its parent tags as well. Is there any easy way to achieve this. 

<$list filter="[is[current]tagging[]sort[listing]]">
<$link><$view field="title"/></$link>

Regards

Hi Shash,

This...

<$list filter="[is[current]tagging[]sort[listing]]">

...does not give you a tiddler's tags, but this does:

<<list-links [is[current]tags[]]>>

...and then this gets you the tag parents of the first level parent tags:

<<list-links [is[current]tags[]tags[]]>>

...and if you want both, first level and second level parent tags in one list, you'd be doing:

<<list-links [is[current]tags[]][is[current]tags[]tags[]]>>

Eventually, if you also wanted to go down the tagging tree,
to "child tiddlers" tagging to the current one,
you'd be replacing the tags[] filter operator with

the tagging[] filter operator in the examples above.

Here are the basics to all that:

Hi Tobias,

My use case is little different. I have the below code. I have it as a viewtemplate. For example , I have a tag 'Chapter 1'. Under 'Chapter 1' I have tag 'Topic 1'. So whenever I click on Topic 1, I want the table to load all the tiddlers of 'Chapter 1' tag as well as tiddlers of 'Topic 1'. Can you please help me in this. 

<table >

<tr >

<td style="width:35%";>

<$scrollable class='tc-scrollable-demo'>

<$list filter = "[is[current]tagging[]]">

<span class="textbox2"> 

<$link><$view field="title"/></$link>

<div style="max-height:5px; overflow: hidden;"> <br> <$transclude/> </div> 

</span>

</$list>

</$scrollable>

</td>

<td>

{{!!text}}

</td> 

</tr>

 </table>

Thanks!

Hi Shash,

I have it as a viewtemplate.

You mean a conditional viewtemplate @ tb5? 

2 Questions:

1. Where do you want that?
2. How do you want it? => can you provide an example outline (formatted as nested lists, right here) 

I can imagine the TableOfContents Macro might be of help.

Or do you actually want to show all the contents?

Then this might do: makedoc @ tb5

Then
