Puting spaces in a tag from user input

[damien Dupont]

Hello,

I wrote a a code that has the purpose to create in the background a new tiddler with a some tags and one of those tags is the user input from an edit-text widget. The problem is that if the user write something with space ex : "A chair", the created tiddler will have "A" and "chair" as tag instead of on tag "A chair". Has someone an idea how to solve this ?

Extract of my code :

\define concat() request {{$:/temp/RequestScannedPart}}

Scanned part :<$edit-text tiddler="$:/temp/RequestScannedPart" tag="input" placeholder="New part" default=""/>

<$button>

<$wikify name="tagToSend" text=<<concat>>>
<$action-setfield $tiddler={{$:/temp/RequestName}} $field="tags" $value=<<tagToSend>>/>
</$wikify>

Create
</$button>

The solution is not intuitive, but here you go. There's a special technique for adding new tags. You could

also do this with the action-listops widget.

Scanned part :<$edit-text tiddler="$:/temp/RequestScannedPart" tag="input" placeholder="New part" default=""/>

<$fieldmangler tiddler={{$:/temp/RequestName}} >
    <$button>
 <$action-sendmessage $message="tm-add-tag" $param={{$:/temp/RequestScannedPart}} />
 
    Create
    </$button>
<$fieldmangler>

Hello,

Another, less elegant but more intuitive solution could be

```
\define concat() <$text text="[["/>request {{$:/temp/RequestScannedPart}}<$text text="]]"/>

Scanned part :<$edit-text tiddler="$:/temp/RequestScannedPart" tag="input" placeholder="New part" default=""/>

<$button>
<$wikify name="tagToSend" text=<<concat>>>
<$action-setfield $tiddler={{$:/temp/RequestName}} $field="tags" $value=<<tagToSend>>/>
</$wikify>

Create
</$button>
```

There are often (always?) various way to do something in TW... A good way to find your path is describing your goals rather than putting your solution for a review.

Thanks for your contribution ;)

Yes, there are several ways to do things in tiddly wiki, I will remember your advice next time.

It require a lot of time to understand all the aspects of TW. I manage to do some amazing things but the majority of problem I encouter are related on how TW handles spaces into variables or do I need to put " in a widget parameter or not. It's kind of frustrating XD

Don't give up Damien ;-)

Glad to have another hacker aboard.

The issues you describe is often caused by a (kind of) scattered documentation / ressources and also difficulties to "think the tiddly way". I know that pretty well and I'm often amazed by other's solutions I would never have found. 

Am I wrong or you may also take advantage of https://forum.tiddlywiki.fr? 

You will find a bunch of talented, adventurous and french speaking "bricoleurs" there.

Warm regards

Sylvain
