[TW5] Button to create new task tagged with current tiddler?

[Matthew Petty]

I use a button to create task tiddlers. It uses a TaskSkeleton to create consistently formatted tiddlers.
I want to add a button to the skeleton which would create a new task, tagged with the current task, which would also use the TaskSkeleton.
The "new here" button just creates a new empty tiddler, and it's only accessible in view mode.

I think it's just a case of making a new task creation button, based on the current one. Here's TaskButton:

<$let tag1="journal" text="">
<$newtiddler title=<<dateTime 'YYYY 0MM 0DD ddd hh:mm:ss'>> skeleton="TaskSkeleton" edit="yes">Create Task "<<dateTime 'YYYY 0MM 0DD ddd hh:mm:ss'>>"</$newtiddler>
</$let>

What could I add to that to tag the new task with the tiddler that displayed this button?

Hi Matthew

Which version of TW5 are you using? I doubt that your skeleton code will work in an up to date version of TW5.

Check out: http://tiddlywiki.com/#Creating%20journal%20tiddlers 

You could clone the new-journal-here button* and use it as a template to create your own special NewTaskJournalHere button.

@Måns - I hadn't realized you could paste in html like this - because that's what you've done, right? Copy-pasted the tiddler code right into your post, right?

The dropdown even works (even if I somehow managed to split it(!) now as I repost)

<:-)

Hi Mat

Yep. It's very convenient isn't it? :-)

Hi Matthew,
Did you get newtiddler widget from http://tiddlystuff.tiddlyspot.com ? Are you sure you updated it?

Maybe you can use this example: http://p-task.tiddlyspot.com/

Hi Måns,

Google, or something, breaks your "My playground" link. Could you paste the url?

Thanks!

Hi Mark S,

The link to Måns playground: http://playground.tiddlyspot.com/

Hi Birthe & Mark

The tiddlers might be reordered or not open in the storyview when visited later.... (it's a playground :-))

Here's a "permaviewlink": http://tinyurl.com/polfks9 (hope it is not broken this time...)

It's almost a "Life Hack" to me:

I use this feature frequently to copy paste tables and formatted text from TW's into Word documents... arrange it for printing and save it to a pdf file.

It's a very quick way to get a lot of (pretty) links into a pdf document.

Thanks everyone, I managed to figure it out with your help.

I have made a couple of new tiddler "buttons", but hadn't thought to look at the core functions for creating new tiddlers.  I have some questions on this.

[[$(CurrentTiddlerTag)$]] is in double brackets, why?

Interesting idea to use the fields as the variable values, instead of shadow tiddlers like the core New Journal.  It makes it easier to see what the values actually are.

I understand most of the page, but I am still trying to understand why the list widget is used to display the buttons??  I would like to use the buttons from Font Awsome but they don't seem to be able to be used the same way.

It looks like there is a missing </set>, there are three of those but four <set name =>

Hi Jonathan Salles,

You want your new tiddler to be tagged with the title of your tiddler. That title could have several words in it. You would not want a tag created for every word in the title.
