trying to combine actions in single button

[Dave]

I'm trying to add an action to the following button set that is currently functional:

\define yesnotag()

<$fieldmangler><$button message="tm-add-tag" param="Yes">{{$:/core/images/new-button}}</$button>

<$button message="tm-remove-tag" param="Yes">{{$:/core/images/delete-button}}</$button></$fieldmangler>

\end

This, when you add "<<yesnotag>> to a tiddler has a "+" sign button that adds a "Yes" tag to the tiddler and a (garbage can) button that removes the "Yes" tag.

The added functionality I want is for a certain SideBar tab to open if its not already open.

The following does just that in a separate button:

<$button> open "Homework" tab

   <$action-setfield $tiddler="$:/state/tab/sidebar--1835078512" text="Homework">

</$button>

It opens the "Homework" tab in the sidebar

My question is this: How can I get the sidebar tab "Homework" to open when you click either the buttons from the first <<yesnotag>> macro?

I've tried adding

<$action-setfield $tiddler="$:/state/tab/sidebar--1835078512" text="Homework">

in all the possible places in that macro I can think of and it always breaks the functionality of the original buttons, usually getting rid of the button image.

I suspect this might be one of those instances where there's more than one way to achieve something and I'm trying to combine them in the wrong way...

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks,

- Dave

This http://gototab.tiddlyspot.com/ ... should guide you how to do it.

thank you Mat.  Yes, that method helped me to get this as a link that functions:

<$button class="tc-btn-invisible tc-tiddlylink">

  <$action-setfield $tiddler="$:/state/tab/sidebar--1835078512" text="Homework"/>

  click me
</$button>

but now I need to figure out how to attach that action to my pre-existing "+" and (garbage) buttons above.  It seems that no matter where I paste that action-setfield code into the other one it always breaks it.  Do I maybe have to convert the "<$button message=" method to an "action-setfield" method, and then just string the multiple actions in there?  I'll see if I can figure that out. not sure if the "fieldmangler" would work that way though...

[Dave]

Okay, I figured it out.  This works:

\define yesnotag()
<$fieldmangler>
<$button message="tm-add-tag" param="Yes">{{$:/core/images/new-button}}<$action-setfield $tiddler="$:/state/tab/sidebar--1835078512" text="Homework"/></$button>
<$button message="tm-remove-tag" param="Yes">{{$:/core/images/delete-button}}<$action-setfield $tiddler="$:/state/tab/sidebar--1835078512" text="Homework"/></$button>
</$fieldmangler>
\end

I thought I had tried that before already, but it seems to work now.  The only difference I can see is before I never put a carriage return after <$fieldmangler> O_o





(I find that a really odd name: "fieldmangler", ha ha)
