Want to add a tag to multiple tiddlers -- how?

[Shay Shaked]

Hey all, 

I have customized my journal style to include background.... but now. how do I add all my old journal tiddlers to the new tag? I must have around 50 of them. I don't want to go through each individual one and add a tag manually, there must be a better way I'm not aware of?

Hej Shay!
Create this button

<$button>Tag with xxx
<$list filter='[list[$:/StoryList]]'>
<$fieldmangler tiddler=<<currentTiddler>>>
<$action-sendmessage $message='tm-add-tag' $param=xxx/>
</$fieldmangler>
</$list>
</$button>

replace xxx with the Tag you want to apply.
Open all the Tiddlers you want to tag in the story ('cause all tiddlers in the story will be tagged...)
And here you go.

Cheers Jan

nice! somewhat of a weird solution, but worked like charm. Thanks!

Hi

Jan's method is more simply rendered using the ActionListops widget -- like so:

<$button>Tag with xxx
<$list filter='[list[$:/StoryList]]'>

<$action-listops $tags="xxx"/>
</$list>
</$button>

Several new tags may be added at once (and the 'xxx' tag removed) -- like so:

<$button>Remove xxx and add new tags

<$list filter='[list[$:/StoryList]]'>

<$action-listops $tags="-xxx newtag1 newtag2 newtag3"/>
</$list>
</$button>

If you wish to make generalised buttons

-- all tiddlers in the story river can be tagged with the term entered in the search box

-- like so:

<$button>Tag with term in search box

<$list filter='[list[$:/StoryList]]'>

<$action-listops $tags="[{$:/temp/search}]"/>
</$list>
</$button>

-- and all tiddlers in the story river can have the tag corresponding to the term in the search box removed (reverse of above) -- like so:

<$button>Remove tag in search box

<$list filter='[list[$:/StoryList]]'>

<$action-listops $tags="-[{$:/temp/search}]"/>
</$list>
</$button>

It may be a bit of overkill for what you are doing, but you could check out the tiddler tool thing I made a while back http://ooktech.com/jed/ExampleWikis/TiddlerTools/

Hey everyone, thanks for this thread. Just found it, exactly what I needed.

Here is a somewhat simplified step-by-step:

1. Make a copy of your wiki, and play in the copy
2. Play with filters in advanced search until you have it just right, and then copy the filter into a new tiddler called tiddlers-filter.
3. Copy code below into a new tiddler
4. Replace TagNameHere with the desired tag
5. Press the button

$set name="tag" value="TagNameHere">
<$button>
Tag <$count filter={{tiddlers-filter}}/> tiddlers with <<tag>>
<$list filter={{tiddlers-filter}}>
<$action-listops $tags=<<tag>>/>
</$list>
</$button>
</$set>

Hi, all,

here is my humble tool for the tagging of a group of tiddlers  with the name of the current tiddler, using a search function.

I call it the "collection-footer", it is part of my view template.

In order to keep my GUI clean, I have a checkbox in a tiddler which is a conditional view template. This box toggles the tag "$:/tags/ViewTemplate"

The code is "stolen" from so many people on this mailing list, that I do not remember them, so I thank U all.

Pit

<$set name="collectTagName" value=<<currentTiddler>>>
