I am using the TiddlerNotesPlugin from Saq Imtiaz (originally at
http://tw.lewcid.org/). For the tiddlers that I want to have notes, I
add the <<notes>> macro. It works fine.

But I want to enable readers to be able to comment on more than one
section of the same tiddler, using two separate instances of the
<<notes>> macro. The info page for the plugin says that this is
possible, but although both Notes sections appear, the Edit buttons
for both instances open up the first instance for comments. I cannot
open up the second.

There was an earlier discussion of this
(http://www.mail-archive.com/tiddl...@googlegroups.com/
msg07087.html), but there was no resolution in that thread. There is
some talk of toggling the Notes instances based on the audience
(student v teacher) so only one is displayed on the tiddler, but that
is not what I am looking for.

Does anyone know what I need to do to have two instances of Notes
attached to the same tiddler?

Thanks,

Hi Hal

You can add a suffix to one or several note tiddlers:

<<notes heading:"Note" tag:"Note" suffix:"Note1">> will produce a note
tiddler called: TiddlerTitle-Note1
<<notes heading:"Note" tag:"Note" suffix:"Note2">> will produce a note
tiddler called: TiddlerTitle-Note2
<<notes heading:"Note" tag:"Note" suffix:"Note3">> will produce a note
tiddler called: TiddlerTitle-Note3

Mans,

I wish that were so. I have tried changing the suffix as you
suggested. Still, when I click on the Edit Notes button for Note2 or
Note2, Note1 opens up. That is the only one I can edit. TiddlerTitle-
Note1 is the only new tiddler that is created.

If you can make it work, maybe I have some conflict with other
plugins.

Thanks,
Hal

Hi Hal

Don't know if it makes any difference in your case but - have you
tried putting them directly into the viewtemplate tiddler?

Like this:
<div macro='notes heading:"Note" tag:"Note" suffix:"Note1"'> </div>
<div macro='notes heading:"Note" tag:"Note" suffix:"Note2"'> </div>
etc..

Mans,

It still has the same problem. Only the first Note is editable.

Because I want Notes in only some of the Tiddlers, I would prefer
using the <<notes>> macro only in those that require them rather than
in the ViewTemplate, anyway.

I tried splitting the two sections of the tiddler into two tabs, each
with a Notes section, but the file freezes up. The same if I try to
call them into one tiddler with two sliders.

I can use a textarea form box, but I want these notes to be ongoing
journals on the content of the tiddler. Being able to use two Notes on
the same page would be more appropriate than two text fields. Because
the two sections are closely related to each other, I'd rather not
have two separate tiddlers.

I greatly appreciate your help. Do you have any other suggestions for
how I might work around this problem?

Thanks,
Hal
