[TW5] Transclude tiddler on list empty

[Danielo Rodríguez]

Hello, yes, again,

I was wondering if there is possible to use the "empty message" of the list widget to set a transclusion.

This can be useful to show a meaningful message (with icons, and some long text) in case the list is empty.

Many thanks.

Hi Danielo

The content of the emptyMessage attribute is wikified. Try something like:

<$list filter="[tag[mytag]]" emptyMessage="""<$transclude tiddler="MyTitle"/>""" template="MyTemplate"/>

Best wishes

Jeremy.

Hello Jeremy,

Thank you very much, I was trying something similar:

<$list filter="[all[shadows+tiddlers]prefix{$:/state/OTW/Repository/Selected}]"
empty={{$:/plugins/danielo515/OctoWiki/ui/Loading}}>

But it was not working. Sometimes I can't determine where to use a <<variable>>, when to use {{wikitext}} and when to use a widget as parameter.

Many thanks.

One thing I have noticed is that the entire widget tag should be on the same line. Otherwise it will not work. Are you aware of that Jeremy?

This works rather fine for me on TiddlyWiki.com:

<$list filter="[tag[DoesntExist]]" emptyMessage="""<$transclude

tiddler="About"

/>""" template="MyTemplate"/>

Hi Danielo 

<$list filter="[all[shadows+tiddlers]prefix{$:/state/OTW/Repository/Selected}]"
empty={{$:/plugins/danielo515/OctoWiki/ui/Loading}}>

The attribute is "emptyMessage", not "empty".

Best wishes

Jeremy.
