[TW5] Show field from story tiddler within list widget

[Michael]

Hi,

When I use the list-widget I can display the contents of fields from the called tiddlers, since within the list they are associated with the "currentTiddler" variable (that's how I understand it).

However, I would like to create a list that displays both, the contents of fields of the called tiddlers, but also the content of a field of the calling tiddler. I guess I need to somehow use the storyTiddler widget variable, but I do not understand how.

Thanks for your help,
Michael

After playing around a bit with my use case, I feel that I need to explain my question a bit better:

Within the list widget, I can evoke field contents using the view-widget:

<$view field="xwz"/>

This displays by default the content of field xwz of the called tiddler, since it is the currentTiddler.

I can, of course, within a list call the content of field xwz from a tiddler abc outside the list like this:

<$view tiddler="abc" field="xyz"/> or
{{abc!!xyz}}

In my use case however, since I use transcluded templates for creating the lists, the tiddler "abc" is always the calling tiddler (storyTiddler), and the field name "xyz" is specified by a dedicated field in tiddler abc.

Does this clarify my question??

Thanks,
Michael

Have a look at the ListWidget documentation...

http://tiddlywiki.com/#ListWidget

The variable parameter is what you're after.

Best wishes, Tobias.

Hi everyone,

Thanks Tobias for the link, it did help

 I used this tips for my case. The syntax is 

<$list  filter="..." variable=Cat ><$view tiddler=<<Cat>> field="title"/></$list>

(I must say it took me a while)

Now I have a sublist that needs both filtering on the story tiddler and on the <<Cat>>

<$list filter="[is[current]tagging[]] +[tag[<<Cat>>]]" variable="Rec">

saddly the run +[tag[<<Cat>>]] is not understood

What would be the syntax ?

Hi François,

With all the nested cross examination going on,

xlist might possibly be doing what you're after already...

Hi Tobias,

Thanks !

This is a great macro; I like it. I like the fact that only the non-empty groups are listed. I feel however limited by the template. I understand that it applies only on the item and not on the group.

So a bit more on the background of what I am doing:

• it's a recipe repository, 
• each recipe has many tags and most tags are categorized (via tags)
• for example you would get italian recipe , or yiddish , or french etc.. those tags who be tagged with "Origine" (I am french , so the tags are in french)
• then those recipe would also be categorized by Catégorie (desert, main, starter)
• and categorized by Qualité (benefits) : cheap, easy ,fast, vegan (some would argue here :-)) etc...
• I have fields to keep the total time and the preparation time 
• so I want to display recipe by origine, category and display their benefits

Here is the result (excuse my french ), using the vertical tabs of tiddlywiki.com and my macro

So I like the display though some categories are not used and still displayed

You xlist solve this, but I somehow lose the table , because of the category that are not formatted to be in the table

Or do you have a solution for this ?

To summarize my tries. 

• xlist would need for me to work a lot on template / css to clean the display, but would achieve the best result (please confirm)
• my macro does the job, but list all categories (I put my macro at the end for reference). The ugly part of the macro is that I need to repete the origin of the recipe. it is not contextual to the tiddler.
• I could not use the format tag[<Cat>] in my filter list , somehow it is not working (I put the code after the macro, if anything obvious)

macro used :

\define CatRecetteTableVTab(Org:Alsace)

<table>

    <tr>

       <th>Recette $Org$ </th>

       <th>Temps total</th>

       <th>Préparation</th>

        <th>Qualité</th>

    </tr>

     <$list  filter="[tags[]sort[title]tag[Catégorie]]" >

        <tr><th colspan="4" align="left"><$view field="title"/> </th></tr>

        <$list filter="[is[current]tagging[]] +[tag[$Org$]]" >

        <tr>

            <td><$link to={{!!title}}><$view  field="title"/></$link></td>

            <td><$view field="temps_total"/></td>

            <td><$view  field="temps_preparation"/> </td>

            <td><$list filter="[all[current]tags[]tag[Qualité]sort[title]![Recette]]  " template="$:/core/ui/TagTemplate" /></td>

       </tr>

   </$list>

</$list>

</table>

\end

The code that failed :

<table>

    <tr>

       <th>Recette</th>

       <th>Temps total</th>

       <th>Préparation</th>

        <th>Qualité</th>

    </tr>

     <$list  filter="[tags[]sort[title]tag[Catégorie]]" variable=Cat >

        <tr><th colspan="4" align="left"><$view tiddler=<<Cat>> field="title"/> </th></tr>

        <$list filter="[is[current]tagging[]] +[tag[<Cat>]]"  variable=Rec>

        <tr>

            <td><$link to={{!!title}}><$view tiddler=<<Rec>> field="title"/></$link></td>

            <td><$view tiddler=<<Rec>> field="temps_total"/></td>

            <td><$view tiddler=<<Rec>>  field="temps_preparation"/> </td>

            <td><$list filter="[all[current]tags[]tag[Qualité]sort[title]![Recette]]  " template="$:/core/ui/TagTemplate" /></td>

       </tr>

   </$list>

</$list>

</table>

Hi François,

I like the layout of your recepe table-tabs. ;-)

Try... +[tag<Cat>] ...notice one less pair of square brackets.

Bonne chance,
