Timelines filtered by custom tag

[Angelo Gaggero]

Hi All, 

trying to get a timeline via the <<timeline>> macro, filtered by custom tag selected by the user via dropdown menu, but it seems that the subfilter field is not managing variable filters like tag{!!intag} ... any idea? 

My page is something like 

''Include tag:

''

<$select field=intag default='unknown'>

<$list filter='[all[tiddlers]tags[]sort[title]]'>

<option value=<<currentTiddler>>><$view field='title'/></option>

</$list>

</$select>

''Exclude tag:

''

<$select field=extag default='unknown'>

<$list filter='[all[tiddlers]tags[]sort[title]]'>

<option value=<<currentTiddler>>><$view field='title'/></option>

</$list>

</$select>

''Matching tiddlers:

''

this is a simple list of mathing tiddlers inserted here as debugging ...

<$list filter=[tag{!!intag}]+[!tag{!!extag}] />

''Timeline filtered by tag  {{!!intag}}''

<<timeline limit:300 subfilter:"tag{!!intag}" format:"DD MMM YYYY">>

Try;

<<timeline limit:300 subfilter:"[tag{!!intag}]" format:"DD MMM YYYY">>

Unfortunately there is not a lot of helpful error messages when a filter throws basic errors inside other macros.

Also Why not

<$list filter="[tag{!!intag}]+[!tag{!!extag}]" />

or

<<timeline limit:300 subfilter:"[tag{!!intag}]+[!tag{!!extag}]" format:"DD MMM YYYY">>

Suggestions untested.

Regards

Tony
