List filters and external links

[David Gifford]

Hi all

Is there a way to create a list filter where what is displayed are tiddler titles, but the links are to external links in the url field of those tiddlers

I am looking for something roughly like this, but this doesn't work:

<$list filter="[tag[Philosophy]sort[title]]">
<$link to={{!!url}} format="htmlwikified"><$view field="title"/></$link>
</$list>

Use case: create TW files for each book I read. Create tiddlers for each of those files in a central hub TW. Tiddler is tagged by the book's topic, and the filepath to that file is added to the url field.

Then I have listwidgets that turn up the tiddlers by topic, and when I click on the link I open the file, rather than the tiddler.

Blessings,

Hi Dave

The trick is that you should use the HTML <a> tag for external links, rather than the <$link> widget. For example:

<$list filter="[tag[Philosophy]sort[title]]">

<a href={{!!url}} target="_blank"><$view field="title"/></a>
</$list>

Best wishes

Jeremy

Well...I tried several things a lot like that with a href, but they didn't work. You make it look so easy!

You know, as the only native speaker of this language, you really need to start reproducing! :-)

Here is my final, working version

<span class="indent1"><$list filter="[tag[PhilBook]sort[title]]">
<a href={{!!url}} target="_blank" class="tc-tiddlylink-external"><$view field="title"/></a><br>
</$list>
