[TW5] Tabs macro - adding a link to the tab?

[Matthew Petty]

Hi all,
I'm using the TabsMacro, and I would like to add a link to the tiddler next to the title of the tiddler in each tab.
So it would show:

   _____________ _____________ _____________
___| Tab A (e) |_| Tab B (e) |_| Tab C (e) |___

where (e) is a little subscript link that would open the tiddler separately. I would like this because I would like to be able to easily open the tiddlers in each tab for editing, instead of having to search for them.

I made a copy of the Tabs macro called tabs_link, and tagged it so that it was a macro. I did this because the original macro is used in the sidebar, and I don't want the links in the tabs in there.

I found where I would put the link in the macro, but I can't figure out the syntax.

Alternatively, is there a way to add a link to the current tiddler to the text of the tiddler? What syntax would that be? I tried using the field, but I couldn't get it to work. If I could automatically include a link to the current tiddler in the text of the current tiddler, I wouldn't need the link in the tab.

This sounds strange, but when you use tabs or transclusion, having a link to the tiddler included in the tiddler makes editing easier.

This may take some significant changes to the tabs macro. Each tab is a button and only the button click happens regardless of what is displayed. Normal buttons have this same behavior. So you would probably have to modify the tabs macro to add in a link next to each button that makes up a tab.

Right, I've found the location in the macro where I can add plain text (e.g. "TEST") to each tab. But how can I make that text a link to the tiddler in that tab?

IMO it doesn't sound strange. I did wish to have this behaviour myself some times already.
I just was to lazy to code it, because I didn't like the "link in the tab" idea, but I like the idea to have a link in the text area. ... I'll experiment with it and post more info soon :)

have fun!

Hi Ton,

Thx for the links.

The gist creates a link outside the button. That's similar, to my first experiments. ... but I can't find them anymore. I think I didn't save them :/
Did someone finish a complete example, with a working link inside the button? ...

I was interrupted today ..

May be I'll experiment with the link in the body. ...

Hi Matthew

Create a caption field in each tiddler you'll use as a tab and write the link and title as a value like this:

field: caption 

value: Tab A ,,[[(e)|Tab A]],,

Hi Måns,

Works like a charm with Chrome, but doesn't work with Firefox.

Cheers,

Nice idea, but imo very fragile / error prone, if you rename the tiddler, it's easy to forget to change the caption.
