[tw] edit field

[Eno]

Hi, all

I'm using Eric's [[TaggedTemplateTweakInfo]] to create my own
[[JournalViewTemplate]] and [[JournalEditTemplate]] for my tiddlers
with 'journal' tag.

The strange thing is that I cann't save the edit field value. What
I typed in editview is lost, i.e.those in <div class='editor'
macro='edit journalurl'></div> and other my fields, except those
defaults as <div class='editor' macro='edit title'></div>.

Further workups found that my tiddler's fields as shown in
editview were not setup, I try to fix it by entering new fields
manully but it still doesn't work.
Are there something wrong with my plugins from Eric ( not
installed, overwritten, outdated ....?) or somethings else that I
missed?

Best regards

Eno

Hi again,

I knew there are some discussions about 'custom field' issues in
the past posts. Eric said that due to some quirks in TiddlyWiki
engine, avoid using wikiword as the field name, but my condition is
different than that, since I used non-capitalized characters in my
field name but it still doesn't work.

Still find no way to let the field work, esexcept change it via
toolbar command field marcro, as last resort, I'm using the updated
TiddlyWiki/Visual TW+TiddlyTools plugins as my base environement under
the Firefox/MS window platform, Eric's [[SectionLinksPlugin]] will
also cause endless recursion when run in my mixed tiddlywiki.

is there better way to change all those weird things for better
compatibilities ?

Best regards,

Eno

SectionLinksPlugin is relatively new and was split off from CoreTweaks
a few weeks ago. If you have installed an older copy of CoreTweaks,
it will still contain the old section links handler code, which will
collide with the new SectionLinksPlugin code, resulting in infinite
recursion as the two bits of programming both try to extend the same
core handling.

Hopefully, that will clear up the recursion problem... then we can
focus on why your custom fields aren't getting set...

Great, [[SectionLinksPlugin]] becomes functioning normally after
reimporting the new [[CoreTweaks]].

But custom fields still don't work. Hope to solve this issue for this
outstanding plugin since I'm planning to use it to store information
of journal articles which have many fields.

Although the field values aren't getting stored, you have said that
you are able to *see* the custom fields displayed in the tiddler
editor (and, presumably, rendered in view mode as well, though without
any stored values that might be hard to tell).

This means that TaggedTemplateTweak is correctly selecting the custom
JournalViewTemplate and JournalEditTemplate based on the 'journal'
tag.

So, the problem must lie is some other plugin... or interaction
between several other plugins. So... what plugins are you using
(other than TaggedTemplateTweak, of course)? Also, try to eliminate
some possiblilities by constructing a simplified test case document
that reproduces the problem using the absolute minimum number of
plugins and customizations.
