edit current section

[Dave]

Hi,

Using Eric's wonderful EditSectionsPlugin, you can put something like this into a section

<<editSection [[TiddlerName##Section Name]] edit 'click to edit this section'>>

and you can edit just that section rather than opening up the whole tiddler.

What I was wondering if there was some programmatic way to have the same thing plunked into every section and have it read its own section name... Something like this:

<<editSection {{this.tiddler##this.section}} edit 'click to edit this section'>>

-fingers crossed,

Dave

There's a little workaround which will help you get a toc of all
already existing sections + an edit section button for each section:

First install Eric's SectionLinksPlugin http://www.tiddlytools.com/#SectionLinksPlugin
then you can change the <<SectionTOC>> output link format by adding
the following statement to a tiddler tagged with systemConfig:
config.macros.sectionTOC.linkFormat='[[%0|##%0]]';
The default value (shown above) produces a link to each section within
the tiddler, using "%0" to insert the section name into the link.

You can add extra formatting to generate additional output to suit
your purposes. For example, if you have EditSectionPlugin installed,
you could include a link that invokes that plugin's popup editor
directly from each item in the TOC display, like this:
config.macros.sectionTOC.linkFormat='[[%0|##%0]] <<editSection [[##
%0]] [[(edit)]]>>';

Hi Mans, thank you for that... after some reading and tweaking I think I have something that is close to what I wanted: http://biblematrix.tiddlyspace.com/#%5B%5BJohn%201%5D%5D

Ideally I wanted an edit button embedded in each section like I have the old fashioned way in the first few sections, but this works pretty well.

I know this is a it of a google group faux-pa, but do you see how when you click the "read" button for each section the pop-up appears way down the page?  Do you know off hand how to fix that?  If not I'll post it as a separate thread... thanks

oops, just realized I have a bunch of aliases that aren't loaded when you use a permalink to a single tiddler.  If you find all the error messages distracting, just go here: 

http://biblematrix.tiddlyspace.com/ and select "John 1" in the tagging under StartHere

<<editSections "label" "tooltip">>

Add to the end of the tiddler content to automatically add an 'edit
section' link to each heading.

Thank you Eric, and also thank you for not reminding me to read the fabulous manual (I've just reminded myself {reading diligence is not one of my virtues :-\  })  And to boot, "editSections" at the end even makes perfect sense.

I am still glad I asked, because otherwise I'd never have know about Mans cool trick, which I think I'll still make use of. (thanks again Mans)
