tm-new-tiddler isn't loading my template

[Ivan Aparicio]

I'm trying to create a button that will create a book log tiddler:

<$button>

  ''Book''

  <$action-sendmessage 

  $message="tm-new-tiddler" 

  $template="Template:Book" 

  title="Book title" tags="Scrap [[book]]"/>

</$button>

Everything works, except for the template. I'm 100% sure that I have a tiddler named Template:Book, but it isn't being transcluded. Am I doing something wrong?

Looking at TiddlyWiki.com, I believe it should be param="Template:Book". Is there a source somewhere else suggesting $template= ??

Good luck,
Mark

Ivan,

Try adding text="text in new tiddler" as text is simply another field. Other forms may produce more useful outcomes like text={{templatetiddler}}

I don't have the time to give you a more robust answer and others are more expert but that should help you move along.

Thanks Mark,

The code above, came from a question I had asked some time ago, and was answered here:

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/tiddlywiki/YpbwT-LkH4k

I did see the page about the  tm-new-tiddler message, and had tried the following code:

<$button>

  ''Book''

  <$action-sendmessage 

  $message="tm-new-tiddler" 

  param="Template:Book" 

  title="Book title" tags="Scrap [[book]]"/>

</$button>

However, I get the same result. Everything works but the template.

Thanks Tony, that seems to have done it!

For what it's worth, the actual parameter turns out after testing to be

$param=

Thanks Mark, that makes sense! It may be worth amending this tiddler: http://tiddlywiki.com/#WidgetMessage%3A%20tm-new-tiddler to reflect that it's $param and not just param.
