calling tiddler's name within a script?

[bopaige]

Is it possible, within a script, to know the name of the tiddler that
is calling it? I want to develop a simple script that does something
based on the name of the tiddler that is calling it.

[Mark S.]

<script>
var here = story.findContainingTiddler(place) ;
var title = here.getAttribute('tiddler') ;
wikify(title,place) ;
</script>

(Code somewhat lifted from that of Eric Shulman)

Mark,

Thanks for the response.

I tried this within a macro and 'here' is null.

There may be a simpler way to accomplish what I want.

What I am trying to do is write a macro that returns all tiddlers tagged with this one and some additional tags (parameters to the macro).

Does this help the solution?

Macros have access to the tiddler variable:
http://tiddlywiki.org/wiki/Dev:Macros

If you're talking about using Eric's InlineJavaScriptPlugin, I think
that passes similar information - check the documentation perhaps?

Here is a proof-of-concept macro I wrote to see if I can get it working:

config.macros.tiddlerName = { text: "" };

config.macros.tiddlerName.handler = function(place,macroName,params,wikifier,paramString,tiddler)

{ 

var string = tiddler.getAttribute('tiddler');

wikify(string, place, null, null);

}

It errors-out with 'tiddler is undefined.

N.B.:
Strictly development-related issues are better discussed on the dev group:
http://groups.google.com/group/TiddlyWikiDev/
You're more likely to get competent help there.

For me that results in the following error:
Error while executing macro <<tiddlerName>>:
TypeError: tiddler.getAttribute is not a function

Either way, the macro is being passed a *store* tiddler (JavaScript
object), not a *story* tiddler (DOM element).
The best way to get a feel for this is to inspect the object with Firebug:
console.log(tiddler);

HTH.

Oops. I figured I was getting close to that line. I'll inquire over there.
