Cusomise "The tiddler 'foo' doesn't yet exist. Double-click to create it"

[Alex Hough]

Hello TW people,

I would like to change the message in an empty Tiddler:
I am doing a TW on values and it is one that I want to share and show people. One value is 'Achievement': when it has not been tagged as Always important , sometimes important , rarely important or never important the poor viewer is going to get the message:


The tiddler 'Achievement' doesn't yet exist. Double-click to create it

It is somewhat of a negative message.

I would like to change it to some thing like
"You have not addressed 'achievement' in this exercise yet. Please double click and decide how you prioritise this value"

Is this possible by changing tiddlers in the normal way? What is the name of this message?

Put the following line in a tiddler (e.g., [[ConfigTweaks]]), and tag
it with "systemConfig"... after save-and-reload, the new text will be
used.
--------------------
config.views.wikified.defaultText="You have not addressed '%0' in this
exercise yet. Please double-click and decide how you prioritise this
value";
--------------------
Note: %0 is automatically replaced with the tiddler name.

Hi Eric,

Thanks for the help. There seems to be an error. when re-load I get

"Error: SyntaxError: unterminated string literal"

in the plug ins manager

Google Groups automatically inserts line breaks. Make sure Eric's code
is all on one line.

HTH.

GoogleGroups adds newlines where they don't belong... the following is
supposed to be all ONE LINE:

--------------------
config.views.wikified.defaultText="You have not addressed '%0' in this
exercise yet. Please double-click and decide how you prioritise this
value";
--------------------

Thank you both.
It works! 

I can see how defaultText is a 'holder' for my text.
I feel i minor personal breakthrough into the muddy box of javascript.

Thanks again

Ok, I feel i am on a roll here... "My tiddlers are swimming downstream assisted by the flow of the water..."

It must be a similar method to change the tooltips?
I want to change them from "the tiddler 'achievement' doesn't exist" to some text which is more encouraging.

It would be useful for me to know where to find these 'insides' of tiddlers. Is it time for me to start javascript now? It feel like it.. can you recommend a starting point to compliment my tiddly advantures?

The easiest way to find the 'insides' is to look at the TW file
source, using a plain text editor (e.g., windows: WordPad, mac:
TextEdit), and search for the desired user-visible text that is being
displayed in the running TW document.

In this case, searching for the message text:
"The tiddler '%0' doesn't yet exist"
finds several different places where this phrase is used. Among them
is
config.messages.undefinedTiddlerToolTip

Done it! Thanks again.

its like stylesheets but you have to look at the code to find the lines to overwrite...
