Displaying certain tiddlers differently

[Ed Heil]

Hi!

I'm using TW to make a character sheet for a role-playing game.  Right now a tiddler for a character is associated with a data tiddler.  The character tiddler has a view template which displays all the stuff in the data tiddler in a readable & usable manner.

I'm thinking it would be nice to have the character sheet *actually be* the data tiddler.

If I do this, I'm going to want to modify the display of this tiddler, so that when you look at it,  you can't see the underlying data, you can just see the template with the UI for displaying it and interacting with it.

I've added view templates to classes of tiddlers before, e.g. by adding a new tiddler with the special view template tag so it shows up for tiddlers with a certain tag.  But I've never tried to *replace* the default display.

I'm wondering if I need to look at replacing (shadowing) a system tiddler or what.

The quick and easy way is to add a field "hide-body" with a value of "yes" to your data tiddlers. This will hide the default display of the tiddler text. Then have a custom view template based on a tag or field that displays things how you want.

Oh, that's exactly what I needed -- thanks!

What a useful point! added to TW-Scripts!

I had got used to tag tiddler and then hide the body using conditional css! ;-)

This is new to me, is there a list for the special/functional fields like "hide-body"?
