Simplest possible comment button

[Joe Armstrong]

I want to make the simplest possible comment system - to allow me to add comments to a tiddler

Adding this button to a tiddler makes a new tiddler with a unique name when I click it

<$button>

  <$action-createtiddler 

     $basetitle="comment"

     role="comment" 

      parent=<<currentTiddler>>

 /> Click to make a comment

</$button>

When I click I get a new tiddler with a unique name and fields role and parent

so I'll be able to search and find all comments later.

My problem is that after creation the new tiddler is closed - is there a way to display it and open it immediately for editing?

Note: I'm not interested in formatting this nicely with CSS nor attaching the comments and buttons

to the parent tiddler - these are separate problems.

Cheers

Joe,

Add an additional action to your button 

<$action-navigate $to="ButtonWidget"/>

Changing $to to the Tiddler in Question, because you are using action-createtiddler to create the tiddler you can set $savetitle="$:/temp/temptitle" and get the resulting title from there. Eg "commment 1". 

Such as <$action-navigate $to={{$:/temp/temptitle}}/>

A Quick FYI since you are working with Comments, Have you used the new comment plugin?

Control Panel > Plugins > Get More Plugins > Open Public Library > Locate "Comments" > Install > Reload

Regards

Brilliant thanks a lot !!!

It now looks like this:

<$button>

  <$action-createtiddler 

      $basetitle="comment"

      $savetitle="$:/temp/commentName"

      relationship="comment" 

      parent=<<currentTiddler>> /> 

   <$action-navigate 

       $to= {{$:/temp/commentName}} />

    Click to make a comment

</$button>

Is this the *simplest* solution?

Cheers

And yes I have been staring hard at the code in the comment plugin - trying to reduce it to

its simplest elements.
