Struggling to nest a macro

[Cade Roux]

My existing macros allow me to present a transcluded tiddler with an (Edit) link after it and if the tiddler is missing, it presents it as (Missing), so that an editor can create and immediately the tiddler.

So I can do <<trans-edit title:"tiddler to be transcluded">>

and either get:

Transcluded tiddler content (Edit)

or

(Missing)

Now, I want to modify the macro so that it only puts those links in IF we are not in release mode (so casual users who are sent the file to read don't think they are editing anything).  But I know you can't nest macros and it also seems that you can't nest $list widgets?

These are my existing macros.  I tried to wrap the $list widget in trans-edit with another $list widget using a search on a "releasemode" tiddler, but it didn't seem to work.

\define trans-edit-btn(title)

(<$button class="tc-btn-invisible tc-tiddlylink">

<$action-createtiddler $basetitle="$title$" />

<$action-sendmessage $message="tm-edit-tiddler" $param="$title$"/>

Missing

</$button>)

\end

\define edit-btn(title)

(<$button class="tc-btn-invisible tc-tiddlylink">

<$action-sendmessage $message="tm-edit-tiddler" $param="$title$"/>

Edit

</$button>)

\end

\define trans-edit(title)

<$list filter="[title[$title$]] +[has[title]]" emptyMessage=<<trans-edit-btn """$title$""">>>{{$title$}} <<edit-btn """$title$""">></$list>

\end

You can nest list widgets. Maybe show what you were trying to do when nesting your list widgets.

Good luck!

If I get correctly what you're trying to do I'll recommend using the "variable" parameter of $list when you nest them. Maybe you can use else operator in your filter but the scope is limited.

emptyMessage had had no success getting working nested so ended up with this working:

<$list filter="[[releasemode]!is[missing]]">{{$title$}}</$list>

<$list filter="[[releasemode]is[missing]]"><$list filter="[title[$title$]] +[has[title]]" emptyMessage=<<trans-edit-btn """$title$""">>>{{$title$}} <<edit-btn """$title$""">></$list></$list>

Thanks,
