How to change ViewTemplate/body for tiddlers with specific tag?

[jos...@poehls.me]

Hey guys. I've been trying to figure out how to do this: if my tiddler is tagged "test" (for example), I want the view/render template to have some content appended to it.

I found the $:/core/ui/ViewTemplate/body shadow tiddler but I'm not sure how to add a conditional that says "if the current tiddler has X tag show Y content".

Any pointers? Thanks!

Here's where I've gotten so far, though it isn't working. The <$reveal> element at the end is my attempt.

Generally you don't want to hack a core tiddler, since that will make upgrading difficult.

Usually you would create a tiddler and tag it with $:/tags/ViewTemplate . Then in the text box you would put

<$list filter="[all[current[tag[test]]">

Whatever text you want to be displayed when the tag is "test"

</$list>

Now it should display at the bottom of any tiddler tagged "test". If you click on the $:/tags/ViewTemplate tag, you can drag your tiddler up or down to position as you would like.

Thanks for the reply. I feel like I’m probably missing something. I tried what I understood you say but it isn’t working like I expected. Here’s what I’ve got so far:

i think you need to set your Test View Template content type to text/vnd.tiddlywiki

please see working example http://makiaea.org/00045/20201205makiaea-anwiki#Card%20Template%20tap

There is a syntax error in the filter:

   <$list filter="[all[current[tag[test]]">

should be:

   <$list filter="[all[current]tag[test]]">

(i.e., the third open bracket should be a CLOSE bracket)

-e

my bad, eric is right! (also my answer was wrong, sorry)

This fixed it. 🤦‍♂️

Thank you all for the help!

Holy cow! I didn't know one can reorder tiddlers like that.

Thanks!
