filtering tags

[Stefan Riedl]

Hello!

I am pretty new to Tiddly Wiki and my skills in programming and syntax point towards zero :( So I encountered a problem I tried but failed to solve.

In my wiki I have a lot of tiddlers and many different tags. For better overview I loaded a plugin that looks like this:

Find tiddlers tagged with:

<$select tiddler="$:/temp/tag1">

  <$list filter="[all[]tags[]sort[]]">

      <option value=<<currentTiddler>>><<currentTiddler>></option>

   </$list>

</$select>

and

<$select tiddler="$:/temp/tag2">

   <$list filter="[all[]tags[]sort[]]">

      <option value=<<currentTiddler>>><<currentTiddler>></option>

   </$list>

</$select>

Found <$count filter="[tag{$:/temp/tag1}tag{$:/temp/tag2}]" /> matching tiddlers:

<$list filter="[tag{$:/temp/tag1}tag{$:/temp/tag2}]">

   <li><$link><<currentTiddler>></$link></li>

</$list>

It gives me two dropdown menues with all the tags in my wiki. I can select two different tags and all the relevant tiddlers will be listed listed below.

What I like to have now, is a filter for the tags though. I would like to have just a selection of tags in both dropdown menues.

I guess there is some kind filter for this problem, but I couldn't figure out the right syntax and make it work.

Can anybody help me?

It sounds like you want a subset of the current tags. So, the question is, what criteria do you have for the subset ?

Stephan,

As I read it the final list shows all tiddlers according to your selection. And it depends on the two tags you select.

Is the count and resulting list what you expect?

What additional filtering do you want?

Additional filter opperators can be set in the tag selection or in the final listing. If you are not yet understanding how to use filters you will need to give a little more info.

How would you like the result to be different?

I know people in Sydney who are awake that could ring you. What's your number? :-) (do NOT send it :)

First, thanks for the replies. And yes, the syntax and filter logic is all new and confusing to me. 

What I want is a filtering of the tags, so the dropdown menue shows me just specific tags. 

My wiki is a kind of city guide for RPG. Every tiddler describes a location in a city and is taged  with an area (like "Harbor Distict") and a loaction type (like "Shop"). 

The script I use now shows me all the given  tags. But I want just the areas in one selector, and the location types in the other selector. So I guess the filter has to go there. I couldn't find a sytanx that worked though :(

If you have a tiddler say called "Location", and then tiddlers that are also tags like "Harbor District", "Upper City", etc., then you can make a filter like:

[[Location]tagging[]]

which will show just the tags that are used for Location. Repeat for Location-Type.

Mh, cant get it working, but thanks anyway :)

Stephan,

I think all you need to do is build a filter to list what you want. Tell us and we can help. But see here where I simply replaced the "all[]tags[]" part of the filter

<$select tiddler="$:/temp/tag1">
  <$list filter="[prefix[$:/tags]sort[]]">
      <option value=<<currentTiddler>>><<currentTiddler>></option>
   </$list>
</$select>

<$select tiddler="$:/temp/tag3">
  <$list filter="[tag[$:/tags/ViewTemplate]sort[]]">
      <option value=<<currentTiddler>>><<currentTiddler>></option>
   </$list>
</$select>
