TW5 TiddlerLists?

[David Gifford]

I am thinking about doing a "TiddlyWiki for the Rest of Us" type of tutorial, but need some help. I am thinking about doing it like this:

The home tiddler will be a table of contents, listing links to the first tiddlers in a series of step by step slideshow tutorials. The last tiddler in the tutorial will link back to the home tiddler, ending the series.

For this I could just add links one by one in each tiddler, but I would like to use the next and previous filters, and see how that works.

But the documentation for the TiddlerFilters, where there is brief mention of 'next' and 'last', has dead links to a tiddler called TiddlerLists. Is this a feature that is not developed yet? Or is this an area where the documentation is still lacking? Is this simply about creating a field called list in a tiddler, and adding the tiddlers for that presentation to the field?

If so, am I right in intuiting that the next step is, in each tiddler of the series, pasting a link widget with previous and next filters based on the list in the tiddler that contains the list in its field? What would that code be?

Thanks for any help from people who are farther along in this aspect of TW5 than I am. At one point long ago I remember someone working on previous and next stuff, showing it to us in a Hangout, then never really hearing about it again. I am hoping that it is a ready made product by now, so that it is a matter of just pasting things in...I would like to focus more on the content of the tutorial than the mechanics of it.

Silly me, the answer is already out there, and I have already seen it!

Macros can also be used to create simple "Next" links

<$list filter="[[Tiddler Three]next[TiddlerSeventh]]" macro="nextMacro"/>

\define nextMacro(title) [[Next|$title$]] \end

Produces: -

Next

Please note that there might be another approach for the next / previous.

At the moment you must define the sequence. The new approach allows the filters to create the sequence. But at the moment I think Jeremy is not sure about the best approach.

Yeah, after playing around just now, I decided to go with this

|<$link to="Table of contents"><img src="http://www.giffmex.org/images/leftarrow.jpg"></$link>| Back to [[Table of contents]] | <$link to="Table of contents"><img src="http://www.giffmex.org/images/rightarrow.jpg"></$link>|

It would be great if other fields could be used as lists.

For instance, in my TW, I have tiddlers for books and papers, and each one has a field named "author" where obviously I indicate the author of that book or paper. But since there can be several authors for the same publication, I must have also the fields "author2", "author3", etc.

I already programmed it https://github.com/Skeeve/TiddlyWiki5/tree/flexible_lists but I don't know whether it will be taken.

Good! Danke schön.

Check http://tiddlystuff.tiddlyspot.com "Selfmade Lists".

Hello Stephan,

I was trying to reproduce your "Selfmade Lists", [1]

However, I didn't realize at first that it needed certain modules (.js file dependencies) for it to work completely.

So in digging around I decided to add a "modules needed:" bit to the "List used modules" template.

Just a thought for us (tw5) explorers for when we search around.
