$(currentTiddler)$ in TOC stopped working??

[HC Haase]

Hi

For my index tiddlers I normally use the toc macro with the "current tiddler" variable like this:

<<toc-selective-expandable  $(currentTiddler)$ "sort[title]">>

This work fine in my personal wiki, but after I updated another wiki (running in bob) that I manage to 5.1.19 it stooped working. It don't work on tiddlywiki.com either but it still work in my personal wiki (also 5.1.19). Any idea of what's going on?

Some non-backward compatible changes in 5.19

See: GitHub Issue #3333 : Unexpected variable expansion with set widget
AND this Google Groups discussion post

I think you have to now use the below or similar:

<$macrocall $name="toc-selective-expandable"  tag=<<currentTiddler>> sort="sort[title]"/>

Hope that helps.

Thank you. it solved the problem.

Though I wonder why it still works in my personal wiki also running 5.1.19. I guess some plugin is blocking something... properly not good in the long run.

I must say, this is not an elegant solution if this is the new way of using TOC. it makes the TOC macro a lot more cumbersome and difficult to remember. maybe it will be easier to just use lists.
