Is there any way to use list macro to list tags?

[Hao]

Hi,

I have several tiddler tagged with "A", some tagged with "B".

And I also create tiddler "A" and "B", both tagged with "X".

Now I want to use <<list filter [tag[X]]>>.

It would show a list of tiddlers.

Is there any way to make the tiddler list as a tag instead of a tiddler link?

Essentially, it makes a list

<<tag A>>

<<tag B>>

...

Thanks.

Hey Hao,

Looking at the list macro documentation...

http://tiddlywiki.org/#%5B%5Blist%20macro%5D%5D

...you could try this...

<<list filter [tag[SomeTag]] template:SomeTemplate>>

...whereas in a tiddler called SomeTemplate you would add...

*<<view title link>><<tagging>>

Cheers, Tobias.

As a sidenote,

In general though, I tend to use InlineJavascriptPlugin for such
purposes since native javascript is a lot more flexible than a core
list function for example. If the thing turns out too complex for
reuse, then I wrap it as a macro. Personally, I think the basics to
get started aren't actually all that tough... and TiddlyWiki provides
a close to perfect playground to play with Javascript.

Also, if you haven't seen it yet, the sitemap feature of TagglyTagging
pretty much does all that for you and goes way beyond one sublevel...

Thanks. This sidenote really helps!

Although I know the InlineJavascriptPlugin, I never thought about it to implement a simple function...

That gives me a brand new way to use TW.

Thanks Tobias.

I know the TagglyTagging, but it seems to be too "complicated", caz I do not need some of it's function.

(It's really a powerful plugin, but I may need more flexibility.)

Therefore I try to use/develop a simpler plugin.

Besides, currently I don't know whether I can customize the TagglyTagging plugin, e.g. only show sitemap/group.

Eh. Maybe I expressed it a little implicit.

What I want to do is actually list tags instead of list tiddlers. 

I want the behavior of each listed item to be the same with a tag. And I installed QuickOpenTagPlugin, which seems to have modified the <<tag "a">> macro.

Now I have created tiddler for each tag with the title to be the tag name, and tagged it with "P". (This is similar with MGSD).

So now I can list the tags by listing the tiddlers tagged with "P".

But the problem is, the listed item is actually a link to a tiddler, without a button to pop up a series of options, as in QuickOpenTagPlugin.

Actually what I want to show besides the tag name are 1) the number of tiddlers tagged by this tag; 2)a button to pop up options "open all tiddlers", "tiddler 1", "tiddler 2".

Is there any way to implement it?

Thanks a lot.

The !miniTag script under http://tbgtd.tiddlyspot.com/#scripts might
give you a first example. Some of its code is clearly from other
sources, such as how to display stuff in a popup... so I sure didn't
reinvent that wheel.

It could be easily extended to get the count in there as well. In
terms of complexity, I would probably turn that into a macro these
days.

What might also be interesting to you is some older plugin called
TiddlerListMacro which you can find at http://jackparke.tiddlyspot.com/.
Among other things, it allows for complex templating regarding list
output, with parameters like itemTemplate and groupTemplate.

You can see it being used at:
