Transclude the Whole Tiddler

[Mohammad]

In another post I asked for thumbnail image of tiddler. In that post I encountered the issue to transclude a tiddler as a whole, that means a snapshot of tiddler trancluded, this include Tiddler text + title and what ever is shown in the original tiddler and also those contents come from customized ViewTemplate!

How this is possible?

Mark S: One solution is to get everything from tiddler and using CSS make a copy where we want the transclusion, but this seems impractical!

Ton: Other solution was to use Cecily theme!

Eric: Use transformation

Because I thought this can be of interest for other people I put the question in a separate post! I appreciate other solutions if any!

Hi,

I think Mark S. already answered your question in the thread about thumbnails : use


$:/core/ui/ViewTemplate

when transcluding

That's quite true! Still there is a small problem!

Those setting contents come from tiddlers tagged with $:/tags/ViewTemplate are missing in this transclusion!

I mean you may apply settings or produce contents inside a tiddler tagged with $:/tags/ViewTemplate

Hi,

Well that's strange ! If you look at the code of $:/core/ui/ViewTemplate you can see this near the end :

<$list filter="[all[shadows+tiddlers]tag[$:/tags/ViewTemplate]!has[draft.of]]" variable="listItem"><$transclude tiddler=<<listItem>>/></$list>

It seems the <$list> loop runs through all tiddlers tagged $:/tags/Viewtemplate.

Thank you FrD!

I think I found the problem. My other tiddler with $:/tags/ViewTemplate has a code to show something for tiddlers tagged for example with slide!

When I transclude a tiddler tagged with slide using 

$:/core/ui/ViewTemplate

It seems the host tiddler is assumed not the transcluded one! I mean the code is run for the host tiddler not the transcluded one tagged with slide.
