Fwd: Alias variable

[andrew.j.harrison84]

I'm trying to include text stored in an options.txtUsername variable into an alias using the aliasplugin. I have tried creating a tiddler with <<message options.txtUsername>> but when I try to transclude the tiddler or just the variable into the alias, it doesn't work. I don't know how. Can anyone help me figure out how to do this?

Hi Andrew,
Do you use a plain TiddlyWiki or is it at TiddlySpace? If it is
tiddlyspace, the evaluated macro parameters are deactivated by
default.

I'm using a plain tiddlywiki trying to get options.txtUserName to render it's text in my alias macro. When I click on the link it creates, it copies text to the clipboard.

Hi there,

Would it work to use the text itself instead of the message macro? Obviously, you can't just embed one macro into another.

<<alias showgloss {{" foo " + options.txtUsername + " bar "}}>>

Cheers, Tobias.

Hi Tobias,
It was an interest thought but renders as Error in macro <<alias>>. I am using 2.7.0 but I'm running IE9 if that matters. Thank you again for your help. I'm still searching for a solution.

the variable is "config.options.txtUsername"... thus:

<<alias showgloss {{" foo " + config.options.txtUsername + " bar "}}>>

Hi Eric,

the variable is "config.options.txtUsername"...  thus:
<<alias showgloss {{" foo " + config.options.txtUsername + " bar "}}>> 

 

Well, of course. Never hurts to test the real thing [1]... which I'm currently not using; then you'd notice when things don't work as expected. Lazyness can be a bitch. :-D

Tobias.
