Linking tags (without corresponding tiddlers) to one "Themes" tiddler

[kra...@sunyit.edu]

Hello Genius Gurus of TiddlyWiki,

I've been working on an independent study this semester, compiling a bibliography of the history and creation of hypertext;  http://krausek.github.io/karen-indstudy/hypertext.html

In talking with my Professor, it was decided it would be best to have this navigated by "Themes."  Is there a way I can link all of my tags to the "Themes" tiddler, and generate a list, for other students to navigate in this way?

As an aside, not sure what I'm doing incorrectly, but I haven't been able to get any list-links or widgets to work, other than RenameTags.  The button widget in particular I'd like to incorporate.. not sure if it's my older macbook or if I unintentionally set a setting along the way...

Thank you so very much for your help and time, I truly appreciate it :)
Karen

The TiddlyWiki Community is filled with people who like to help, but you need to give a bit more information..

When someone says "I can't get _____ to work", it's important to provide some details, otherwise it's nearly impossible to even *guess* what has gone wrong.

Some basic questions to answer:

* What did you actually do?  Include all code you attempted (or at least a few examples) as well as the precise procedures you followed, step-by-step, with as much detail as possible.  If you can post the TW document online for "live" testing by others, the chances are much higher that someone will find a solution quickly.

* What did you expect it to do?  Explain your specific goals, from both a technical and conceptual standpoint, so that others may be able to suggest possible work-arounds or alternative approaches.

* How do you know it didn't work?  Describe the observed results, and explain how they differ from what you expected.

enjoy,

 Hi Karen,

 

In talking with my Professor, it was decided it would be best to have this navigated by "Themes."  Is there a way I can link all of my tags to the "Themes" tiddler, and generate a list, for other students to navigate in this way?

1. What do you mean by "Themes"? => topics?
   
2. How does a "tag" relate to one or more (?) "Themes"?
   
3. What is the list to show? (post an example here)

Best wishes,

Tobias.

To list tags that have no corresponding tiddlers, add this to a tiddler:

<$list filter="[tags[]!is[tiddler]]"><$link><$view field="title"/></$link><br></$list>

Thank you all!  Yes I should've been more explicit :)  #newbieproblems

Dave, thank you so very much for providing that filter!  Here's what it did:

By clicking on any of the tags on the left, I come up with missing tiddlers, which makes sense.  I'll go through and make tiddlers for them all and tag them back to "Themes"... Yup, definitely a newbie...

Thank you so much for your help :)
