Automatic prefix tiddler titles

[Andrei Teodorescu]

Hi,

We just started customizing tiddlywiki in a team of 6 and we have the following knowledge management scenario:

- we are creating a knowledge base for several applications (each having its own tag)

- for each application, there will be one tiddler in the Table of Contents containing all tiddlers with its specific application tag

We would like to have a list for each tag, with number prefix of 3 digits for each tiddler.

How can we achieve this?

E.g.

How to cleanup logs --> 001 How to cleanup logs

How to build an index --> 002 How to build an index

Error 504 received while login --> 003 Error 504 received while login

Regards,

Andrei

Will this list be displayed/generated after hitting a button or when the tiddlywiki loads?  I ask because I think I know how to do the first one but not the second one

[Andrei Teodorescu]

Hi,

After hitting a button will be great but it has to take into consideration that incrementin should be based per tag - nextvalue might be different per each application tag (e.g. 5 articles with tagA, next one will be 006 - ..., 2 articles with tagB, next one will be 003).

Regards,

Andrei

I *think* I figured out a way for it to work either way.  It requires using something like tobibeer's eval plugin or another plugin that lets you do mathematical operations in a filter.  I'm using tobibeer's eval for my example.

First make a list of your tags.  Within that list widget, do the following:

1) Use a set widget to get a count of the tiddlers with that tag and store it in a variable

2) Use a list widget that uses the range[] list operator to generate a range of numbers, making sure you use the variable from step 1 as the argument for the range[] operator

3) Use a set widget to contain a modified index number.  We'll modify this number by adding 1000 to the number generated by the range[] operator.  Then we'll remove the 1 prefix from the result.  This is what should happen:

    1 ---> 1001 ---> 001

  37 ---> 1037 ---> 037
837 ---> 1837 ---> 837

4) Next, use either a set or list widget with a filter that gets all of your tiddlers with the specified tag, then use the nth[] operator with the value we got from the range[] operator in step 2 (not the one we got from step 3, idk if it will work).  That should get you the corresponding item.

I can't guarantee this will work as I don't have a comparable set of tiddlers to work with to test this.

Do you just want these number in the listing of tiddlers or you actually want to rename them? 

I recommend against renaming tags or tiddlers with number increments as this makes the key (the tiddler title) contain more than the the key and you will possible find yourself reversing this elsewhere.

If so there are other solutions with tags and fields.

David,

A Quick tip, you can use the range operator to increment 0.0001 by 0.0001 then use removeprefix[0.] to get zero filled numbers.

The next release includes maths operators natively.

Hi Tony,

I was able somehow to add numbers in front of them followed by tiddler name link but that would be an unnatural behaviour (part number, part link) - that is why I thought about a forcing mechanism that every time I press a button (let's say Solution App1) would create a new tiddler tagged with App1 and already populated the Tiddler name with an incrementing value as a prefix (like knowledge base have). In the team would like these to be referred as solution 027 for App1, for instance. It ads more clarity, from my perspective

Andri,

I use the native facility in cases like this, which is not to your requirement but very similar.

What I tend to do here is use a field or tag to associate it with the app. have a new button that creates a "app1 solution" tiddler, which will be incremented automatically if you use https://tiddlywiki.com/#ActionCreateTiddlerWidget and the $basettile="app1 solution" I also use text={{solutionTemplate}} to have new solutions use that template, filename=value and tags="value" (replaces whole tag field)

You could also use this in the app1 tiddler

\define solution-title() <<currentTiddler>> solution

and $basettile=<<solution-title>>

I hope this is of some value.

Regards

Tony

Have you tried Tiddler Commander Plugin?
