Simplest way to use field value as global variable?

[Chuck Middaugh]

Hi all,

I am asking for an example of using a field value from one tiddler as a global variable in any other tiddler.

I've seen a few examples that come close to what I need, but I am unable to display the variable value in every place that I wish (in any or all other tiddlers).

If the information is available, then please point me in the right direction.

Thank you

If ailed to mention that I am using the latest version of TW5

Hi Chuck

I am asking for an example of using a field value from one tiddler as a global variable in any other tiddler.

If you want to include the value of a field of another tiddler within wiki text you can use transclusion:

{{my tiddler title!!my-field-name}}

You can use the same syntax to set the value of an attribute of a widget or HTML element. For example:

<$link to={{my tiddler title!!my-field-name}}>My link</$link>

I've seen a few examples that come close to what I need, but I am unable to display the variable value in every place that I wish (in any or all other tiddlers).

Can you outline what you are trying to accomplish in a little more detail?

Best wishes

Jeremy

Thank you. Your response is not what I've tried before. Let me give that a try and if it doesn't do what I need (which I suspect it will do), then I'll try to be more specific. Again, thank you.
