I have a template like:

 <$button message="tw-new-tiddler" param="New Chapter Template" >New chapter</$button>

Is there a way that I can specify the starting title of the new tiddler from the button? Actually, it would be great if I could also fill in any fields from the button as well. That way I could re-use one template with multiple buttons.

Thanks!
Mark

Hi

I haven't yet updated my widget plugins for 5.0.16, but for versions prior to this you can use my <$maketid> and <$setfield> widget plugins. They may be found here: http://gwiz.tiddlyspot.com/

Hello Matabele,

Thanks for the links! That seems to work. I was hoping to avoid the slippery slope of plugin addiction, but ... oh well.

Thanks!

Well darn. I updated to 17-beta and now your plugins don't seem to work. ;-(

Is there any hope you will be updating them soon?

Thanks!

Hi

Updating the widgets is a small matter, but with the rapid incremental changes to TW5 lately I thought I would wait for TW to come out of beta (20th September) before doing. This should avoid the scenario of multiple incompatible versions.

regards
