[TW5] WidgetMessage: tm-new-tiddler vs ActionCreateTiddlerWidget

[TonyM]

Folks,

Can any one please assist me re: WidgetMessage: tm-new-tiddler vs ActionCreateTiddlerWidget ?

Best so far

I am using a Button with WidgetMessage: tm-new-tiddler because this also navigates to the new Tiddler with the title field ready named "default title" to edit. 

However unless I rename the new tiddler, the second click of this button simply reopens the "default title" and will not increment the title and create a new tiddler.

First

I was using the ActionCreateTiddlerWidget and it would create a new tiddler "default title" but not navigate to it and open it in edit mode. 

However the second click of this button would create a new tiddler "default title 1" but once again not navigate to it.

I tried some further actions to navigate to the tiddler in edit mode on creation but I could not seem to get it to work

How can I get the best of both worlds?

Which would be the Best so Far but if a tiddler of that name exists increment the title before opening it for edit.

Thanks in advance

Tony

Hi,

Navigate to the newly created tiddler:

\define actions()
<$action-createtiddler $basetitle="Homemade Button" $savetitle="$:/temp/test"/>
<$action-navigate $to={{$:/temp/test}}/>
\end

<$button actions=<<actions>>>
Create new tiddler
</$button>

Edit new tiddler:

\define actions()
<$action-createtiddler $basetitle="Homemade" $savetitle="$:/temp/test"/>
<$action-sendmessage $message="tm-edit-tiddler" $param={{$:/temp/test}}/>
\end

<$button actions=<<actions>>>
Create new tiddler
</$button>

I just found it out myself. ... I did have a similar problem some time ago ... and I thought, there must be an existing solution. ... And today with some luck, I found an easy way :)
