quick notes field - plugin or macro request

[M)]

What I like to do is have a field at the end of a tiddler that submits
the content to the end of a tiddler with a date stamp. Like this:
_____________ [add note]

It would produce like this:
2008.07.07: added message to TW Google Group

Notes from TiddlerNotesPlugin is saved in another tiddler, which is
not what I want.

The <<newReminder>> from ReminderMacros is closer as it adds it to
the tiddler.

Is there anything out there like this?

Hi M,

Maybe CommentPlugin is just what your are looking for?

Ah, you just need to know what to search for. Thanks Wolfgang!

I've tweaked it following the guidance (and hacked the code) and for
some reason, I cant get the 'post' button next to the subject field.
I like it like this (no message, just subject)...

Subject: ________ [post]

If anyone is keen enough to figure this out, I'd be greatly
appreciative.

Rather than 'hacking the code' (which can create real support
headaches for *me* if your "variant plugin" is subsequently shared
with others), you might want to try this much smaller "pure HTML"
form:

http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#AppendToTiddler

Usage:
<<tiddler AppendToTiddler with: "datefmt">>

* displays a simple form consisting of a single-line edit field and an
"ok" button
* enter text and press ok
* input is appended to the end of the current tiddler
* optional datefmt param adds a date/time stamp to the embedded output

Thus, for your purposes:
<<tiddler AppendToTiddler with: "YYYY.0MM.0DD">>
should do the trick!

enjoy,

good point, though I wouldn't share it knowing full well I did a bad
thing. I promise never to hack again.

I'm hoping to add code to the ViewTemplate. Can that be achieved?

Thanks Eric!

Hi Eric and M,

considering such examples as AppendToTiddler,
FAQ_CreateTiddlersFromForms, or for example [[Tagged Templating]]:

file:///C:/DOKUME~1/Wolfgang/Desktop/www.tiddlytools.com.html#AppendToTiddler%20FAQ_CreateTiddlersFromForms
http://gensoft.revhost.net/Collapse.html#%5B%5BTagged%20Templating%5D%5D

I guess it wouldn't need much to create a similar table builder -
which lets you specify a number columns, provides this number of input
field, and with 'done' creates or appends one row at a time to a
table. Which would really simplify creating tables.

Has anyone the time and skill to create such a table builder?

kind regards,

W.
