Get the text of a tiddler from a field containig the title

[kebi]

Hello guys,

I'm using a plugin that creates a field named "parent" that contains the title of another tiddler.

If I use <$view name={{!!parent}} /> I get the text of the tiddler contained in "parent".

The problem is that I need to use the result of <$view name={{!!parent}} /> inside a macrocall, how can I do it??

the macrocall looks like this:

<$macrocall $name="remembercz" id=<<currentTiddler>>

text=""

reference="TEXT OF PARENT HERE"/>

First... the parameter for the <$view> widget is "tiddler" not "name".... thus:

<$view tiddler={{!!parent}}/>

I assume that was just a mistake when you posted your message, and not in your code.

Now... for the question you asked...

To get the text from a tiddler whose title is specified by the "parent" field in the current tiddler, you can use an "inline filter", like this:

{{{ [{!!parent}get[text]] }}}

So your macro call would look like this:

<$macrocall $name="remembercz" id=<<currentTiddler>> text="" reference={{{ [{!!parent}get[text]] }}}/>

enjoy,

Sorry for the mistake in the post.

Thanks so much Eric your example worked perfectly!
