How do I create two fields at once with one radio button?

[Måns]

Hi TwWizards

With this code I can create one field with a radio button:

<$radio field="gender" value="him"> male</$radio>

How do I make it create two fields at once?

This doesn't work:

<$radio field="gender" value="he" field="gender2" value="him"> male</$radio>

I remember that @matabele made a couple of plugins that would enable creating a lot of things all at once - but I don't think it worked with radio buttons.

Please correct med if I'm wrong.

Thank you very much Birthe :-)

I had completely forgotten that I asked this question a long time ago - and that Matabele gave me a great solution using data sets...

Sorry Matabele ... and thank you both .).

Hi again

I need to be able to toggle a gender field in a "student card". Male or female - and I need to setup a way for my users (collegues) to create sentences where they can add up to 4 variations of gender i.e.: 

"Gender is a good student". or: 

"When gender is doing gender's homework, gender is ...." (in Danish there is no difference when spelling he or hi(s)) 

I need variations on gender like: he, He, him and Him - she, She, her and Her.

I guess that a solution might be to let the radio button toggle between m and w for !!gender and create a data dictionary tiddler which has the variations like this:

KODE: VÆLG ALT

m1:he
m2:He
m3:him
m4:Him

m5:his

m6.His
k1:she
k2:She
k3:her
k4:Her


Next step might be to create a macrotemplate titled: "mw", which concatenates different parts like this: 
\define mw(var)
{{!!gender}}$var$##DataDictionaryTiddlerName
\end
<$ macrocall name="mw" var="1"/>

Usage: <<mw 1>> or just {{mw}} for he or she and <<mw 2>> for He or She and <<mw 3>> for him or her and <<mw 4>> for Him or Her (the 5'th variation isn't needed in Danish...)

Does this seem to be a good solution? - is it even possible?

Måns, great to see you on the boards again.

In case it hasn't been mentioned; you can make a regular button look like a radio button (even just use images) and within that regular button you can have two setfield widgets. It would take you less than 10 minutes to make.

Hi Mat

Thank you. 

Please enlighten me :-)

Has anyone done this yet?

I've searched for "make a button look like a radio button" and "make a button behave like a radio button ".

No luck - or the information is hidden in some profound discussion about how to do something completely different?

Hi Mans

Here's code fro a fake checkbox:

-- set (can have multiple action widgets)

<$reveal type="match" state="!!temp" text="set">
<$button set="!!temp" setTo="reset" class='tc-btn-invisible'>
<$action-listops $tiddler="test" $field="myfield" $filter="[my[filter]"/>
...
<input type=checkbox/>Set</$button>Set</$reveal>

 

-- reset

<$reveal type="match" state="!!temp" text="reset">
<$button set="!!temp" setTo="set" class='tc-btn-invisible'>
<$action-listops $tiddler="test" $field="myfield" $filter="[[]]"/>
...
<input type=checkbox checked/>Reset</$button>Reset</$reveal>

This may be modified to make a fake radio button -- 'input type = radio', as far as I recall

regards

[Måns]

Hi Matabele

Thanks a lot :-)

I had to set it up with three states one with text="" another with text="female" and a third with text="male".

You are absolutely right in assuming that type="radio works,

It's a great hack :-)
