[TW5] This time rendering wikitext inside a tiddler using a widget.

[Jed Carty]

I made a simple calendar widget that given a year and a month will build a calendar for that month with the correct layout. What I would like to do is to be able to give the widget a macro that it will run inside each day on the calendar to list things for that day or whatever you want it to do. The problem Is that I can't figure out how to get the macro to actually get wikified. The html part that builds the calendar works fine, I just can't do anything with it.

Here is what it currently does, I am hoping that I am just missing a step and fixing it will be simple.

Any suggestions?

HI Jed,

Your widget's execute method is constructing a string containing <$macrocall …> which it then immediately injects into a DOM node. This means you're not giving TiddlyWiki a chance to parse the string as WikiText.

I think the execute method needs to construct a widget tree for the child widgets (the macro call in your case), and the render method can then call this.renderChildren. Have a look at the code of any widget that has children, such as reveal.

To add to what Astrid said,
you need to call the tw5 parser instead using innerHTML. I think it should be:

        parser = this.wiki.parseText("text/vnd.tiddlywiki",calendarString,{parseAsInline: false});
        parseTreeNodes = parser ? parser.tree : [];
        this.makeChildWidgets(parseTreeNodes);

cheers
