Create New Tiddler contains Wikified Value

[Mohammad]

Assume you want to create a tiddler inside it put some wikified values like

<$button>

<$action-createtiddler $basetitle="myTiddler" tags="myTag" text="This is a text based on {{!!title}}"/>

Create

</$button>

Here the the button is in a tiddler titled parent, and the text in the newly created tiddler shall be

This is a text based on parent

Note in the new tiddler we have not {{!!title}} but we have parent

What is the shortest solution, do we need wikify widget?

Mohammad,

I understans the {{!!text}} in between the "quotes" along with your text is taken litreraly thus the text reference is not looked up.

If the button was in a macro you may be able to use "some text $moretext$ $(currentTiddler)$"

Or perhaps the new method <<__some var__>> can help but I have not played with that yet.

Hi,

I may have a solution, not sure it's the smallest or the smartest ; and it uses the wikify widget.

\define actions()
<$wikify name=tt text="This is a text based on {{!!title}}">
<$action-createtiddler $basetitle="myTiddler" tags="myTag" text=<<tt>>/>
</$wikify>
\end

<$button actions=<<actions>>>
Create
</$button>

In this particular use case, since the reference is to the current tiddler title, you can use the "currentTiddler" variable, rather than having to transclude the title field of the tiddler.... and, since the actions are defined in a macro, you can use the $(currentTiddler)$ *macro substitution" syntax to insert the actual title text.  Something like this:

\define actions()
<$action-createtiddler $basetitle="myTiddler" tags="myTag" text="This is a text based on $(currentTiddler)$"/>

\end
<$button actions=<<actions>>>Create</$button>

enjoy,
