Using TiddlyWiki 5 for contacts

[David Gifford]

Hi all

At http://www.giffmex.org/tw5mall.htm you will see I have added a section on contacts. Tells in fairly simple language how to use TW5 as a contact manager.

While this will be greatly improved when template tiddlers and new here buttons get implemented, at least there is a way to do it and an explanation of how to do it, before TW5 rolls into beta.

Try this css:

body p.contacts span.tw-list-frame {
    display: table;
}
body p.contacts span.tw-list-element {
    display: table-row-group;
}
body p.contacts span.tw-tiddler {
    display: table-row;
}
body p.contacts span.tw-view-link,
body p.contacts span.tw-transclude {
    display: table-cell;
    padding: 4px;
    border-bottom: 1px solid;
}

And this for your table:

@@.contacts
<$list filter="[tag[personalcontacts]]"><$view field="title" format="link"/><$transclude field="email"/><$transclude field="telephone"/></$list>

Before you wonder why I posted it: It should fix the limitation "so I had to make all the table cells the same width so it would look uniform."

Thanks Stephan! That works much better. I have updated the mall and have credited you in the contact list tiddler.

I looked at it again and see what I changed:

CSS

body .tw-list-frame.contactstable {
    display: table;
}
body .tw-list-frame.contactstable .tw-list-element {
    display: table-row-group;
}
body .tw-list-frame.contactstable .tw-tiddler {
    display: table-row;
}
body .tw-list-frame.contactstable .tw-view-link,
body .tw-list-frame.contactstable .tw-transclude {

    display: table-cell;
    padding: 4px;
    border-bottom: 1px solid;
}

Tiddler

<$list filter="[tag[personalcontacts]]" type="plain" class="contactstable"><$view field="title" format="link"/><$transclude field="email"/><$transclude field="telephone"/></$list>

No @@ required

Thanks, again, Stephan. Just updated.

Thanks Smandoli!

This weekend, with the refactoring, I got all excited and whipped up this, still in process: http://giffmex.org/builditright.html. An even bigger glimpse of what TW5 can become! Blessings,

Dave

David,

Yes, this is an encouraging project indeed. I am also working on a project, in another thread here, to create a submissions tracker. I have a feeling I'll be referring to your example often :)
