Quick Tip - New here and a quick organising method (optional Challenge)

[TW Tones]

Folks,

You may be aware the new here button is a great way of building your table of contents. It creates a new tiddler with the current one as its tag.

Especially for a "for purpose wiki", perhaps to build information to use elsewhere in another wiki, new here is a quick way to capture structure and relationships. Use the TableOfContents macro and you have an instant tree.

This little Quick tip demonstrates how you can leverage this for even more rapid information capture

Place this in a tiddler, perhaps tagged with $:/tags/SideBar and add a caption field

<$list filter="[tag[TableOfContents]]">
   {{||$:/core/ui/Buttons/new-here}} <$link/><br>
</$list>

And now from the sidebar you can use new here on any tiddler listed, using the above filter, in this case all the top level toc items tagged with TableOfContents

This also demonstrates how all wiki buttons can respond to the currentTiddler variable using the `{{||buttonname}}`, without using "variable=varname" on the list widget, the button is valid for each tiddler resulting from the filter. The Edit, open in new window and other buttons are also useful with tiddler lists.

This is what my sidebar looks like on my blog to self wiki, a quick click and a new tiddler is created tagged with the tiddlername,

For those wanting to extend there tiddlywiki skills, perhaps try this challenge

Add template to tiddlers that you want new here on

• Set a field in tiddlers such as new-tiddler-template that contains a tiddler name that will be used when using your own custom new here button
• No more clues, yet.

Post script

• I can already do what I ask in this challenge, its an optional one for those interested in exercises that will help you un tap the power of tiddlywiki.
