[TW5] Tobias's calc plugin question (transcluding variable to until parameter)

[CL]

Hi.

I am trying to transclude variable into 'until parameter' to Tobias's calc plugin.

This variable is calculated by Tobia's calc plugin as well.

I couldn't find obvious way of transcluding this value into until parameter.

My first approach is to store that value into some tiddler and transclude it via macro

In my minimal test case, test1 tiddler works fine but test2 tiddler does not work.

Or, if there are other way of transclude variable to until parameter, please let me know.

Thank you.

Macro parameters are not wikified before being passed to the macro. So you end up with:

<<calc !!order +1 until:{{testState!!value}} >>

with the string {{testState!!value}} passed to the macro, not the number it represents. I have some explanation of what is gong on here, it is the same problem but in a different context. The solution is the same though.

To make it work you can use something like this:

\define helperOne()
{{testState!!value}}
\end

\define button(variable)
<$button set="!!order" setTo=<<calc !!order +1 until:$variable$ >> >add</$button>
\end

\define callButton()
<$macrocall $name='button' variable=$(ThisThing)$/>
\end

<$set name=ThisThing value=<<helperOne>>>
<<callButton>> <$view field="order"/>
</$set>

Using set widgets and macros like this can come up a lot if you make things with complex transclusions.

<<callButton>> <$view field="order"/>
</$set>

This could be simplified a lot:

* although <<macro ...>> parameters are not wikified, <$macrocall ....> parameters *are*, so you can use {{...}} directly.

* after defining a variable via <$set>, you can use <<variablename>> as a widget parameter value, even when you are *not* in a macro

Thus, no need for helperOne(), callButton(), or ThisThing...

\define button(variable)
<$button set="!!order" setTo=<<calc !!order +1 until:$variable$ >> >add<

/$button>
\end
<$macrocall $name='button' variable={{testState!!value}}/><$view field="order"/>

enjoy,

Thank you Jed and Eric for the answer!

I have solved my problem with that answer which took me almost whole day to fix it.

Best wishes,
