maketid question for matabele

[David Gifford]

Hi Matabele

I am enjoying your maketid widget. Just one question (for now):

How can I set the title to be a date and time stamp?

Hi David

You'll need Stephan's <<dateTime>> macro -- get the tiddler '$:/macros/skeeve/dateTime.js' from his site: http://tw5magick.tiddlyspot.com/

After that, you can use the macro for the parameter to the 'title=' attribute i.e title=<<dateTime "0MM-0DD 0hh:0mm:0ss">>

Hi Dave 

There are several options to format the date -- this template gives several of them to choose from:

<$maketid title=<<dateTime  "DDD DDth, MMM 0hh:0mm:0ss">> tags={{!!title}}>
<$button message="tw-new-tiddler">New Jounal Here</$button>
</$maketid>

regards

Why isn't this working?

<$maketid title=title=<<dateTime "YYYY-MM-0DD 0hh:0mm:0ss">> tags={{!!title}} template="$:/Template/NewIndex" edit="yes"><$button class="btn-invisible" message="tw-new-tiddler">{{$:/Image/newindex.svg}}</$button></$maketid>

Hi David

Double 'title=title=' -- you've obviously been staring at your screen for too long :-)

Ouch! I guess I have!

Okay last question, I promise,

How can I get it to add two tags, one being

tags="$:/Index"

and the other being the current tiddler's title

tags={{!!title}}

[Matabele]

Hi David

There's other ways of doing it, but the easiest is to use my <$mangletags> widget -- like this:

<$mangletags add={{!!title}}>
<$maketid title="Something" tags="$:/Index" message="tw-mangle-tags">
<$button message="tw-new-tiddler">Make</$button>
</$maketid></$mangletags>

Must set the parameters that way around -- the 'tags=' attribute will treat a title with spaces as separate tags. This can be used as a hack if you know what your'e doing -- for example if one adds "$:/Index" after a CamelCase title (of the originating tiddler), as in "OriginatingTiddler $:/Index" -- the tags parameter will do everything as it will see the title as two separate words and turn them into two tags. But that's a bit fiddly.

Inside "OriginatingTiddler $:/Index"

<$maketid title="Something" tags={{!!title}}>
<$button message="tw-new-tiddler">Make</$button>
</$maketid>

Thanks Matabele, actually I want to be able to do this for all tiddlers from the viewtemplate.

Hi David

The reason I wrote the widgets was that I found myself resorting to all sorts of hacks to overcome the limitations of the core widgets. The button widget stacks are a little long winded, but get the job done in a straightforward and predictable manner.
