FET for sections?

[Dave Parker]

I've looked at all the examples in Udos ForEachTiddler plugin and
can't find reference to writing out sections

Could anyone get me started in writing something that would list a set
of, say 10 sections of a single tiddler (its one big tiddler with
hundreds of sections) starting at section 42?

e.g.

<<forEachTiddler
where
'tiddler.title = ("Book Three")'
sectionNumber = 42
write
'(index < 10) ? "* "+tiddler.section" " : ""'
>>

the above obviously doesn't work, but you get the drift...


Thanks,
Dave Parker

Here is an example I did for reading plugin headers. It's not only an
example, it is very practical for checking the version of your plugins
to keep them up to date. If you have TableSortingPlugin it is
sortable.

----------------------------------
<<forEachTiddler
where 'tiddler.tags.contains("systemConfig")'
sortBy 'tiddler.title.toLowerCase()'
write '"|[[" + tiddler.title +"]]" + "| [[" +tiddler.text.length
+"]]" + "|[[" +tiddler.modified.formatString("YYYY.0MM.0DD") + "]]|"
+ store.getTiddlerSlice(tiddler.title, "Author") + "|"
+ store.getTiddlerSlice(tiddler.title, "Version") + "|"
+ store.getTiddlerSlice(tiddler.title, "CoreVersion")+"|\n"'
begin '"|sortable|k\n"

+ "|!Plugin|!Size|!Modified|!Author|!Version|!CoreVersion|h
\n"'
>>

By the way be careful of line breaks. The last line in particular

While these are about slices they may still help you.

Here ia an improved slices plugin.

I'm struggling to get this to work...
Here's my FET I derived from yours

<<forEachTiddler
where 'tiddler.title.contains("BookOne")'
write
store.getTiddlerSection(tiddler.title, "1:1")
>>
Where "1:1" is the first section in BookOne

I get an error:
<<forEachTiddler ...>>: Extra parameter behind 'write': 1:1 )

Is it right to use the term "getTiddlerSection", and why is the
section name a problem?

And do I even need to use
" where 'tiddler.title.contains("BookOne")'" when I could later
just use
" store.getTiddlerSection("BookOne", "1:1")" (seeing as all the
info is coming from a single tiddler)?

Also I'm assuming I'll have to replace "1:1" with some kind of
variable and a loop??
Sorry I don't really understand "store.get"-type lingo...

Thanks for the help,
Dave

ps, I'll look at that link...thanks

This will get you everything in a section.
Obviously index < 10) ? won't work here because it applies to tiddlers
not tiddler##section contents.
-----------------------
<<forEachTiddler
where
'tiddler.tags.contains("links")'
sortBy '(tiddler.title)'
ascending
write
'"<<tiddler "+tiddler.title+"##Links1"+"\>\>\n"'
>>

Thank you so much Morris for your time and attention. I'll tinker
with this over the weekend.

Okay, Thank you Morris,

I used your help and some digging to get this to work:

http://worldenglishbible.tiddlyspot.com/#%5B%5BFET%20for%20first%209%20verses%20of%20a%20particular%20book%5D%5D

(sorry - it takes a long time to load - its got the entire bible in
it)

code:
<<forEachTiddler
where
'tiddler.tags.contains("book") && tiddler.title.contains("Matthew")'
sortBy '(tiddler.title)'
ascending
write
'"<<tiddler "+"[["+tiddler.title+"##1:1"+"]]"+"\>\>\n"+"<<tiddler
"+"[["+tiddler.title+"##1:2"+"]]"+"\>\>\n"+"<<tiddler
"+"[["+tiddler.title+"##1:3"+"]]"+"\>\>\n"+"<<tiddler
"+"[["+tiddler.title+"##1:4"+"]]"+"\>\>\n"+"<<tiddler
"+"[["+tiddler.title+"##1:5"+"]]"+"\>\>\n"+"<<tiddler
"+"[["+tiddler.title+"##1:6"+"]]"+"\>\>\n"+"<<tiddler
"+"[["+tiddler.title+"##1:7"+"]]"+"\>\>\n"+"<<tiddler
"+"[["+tiddler.title+"##1:8"+"]]"+"\>\>\n"+"<<tiddler
"+"[["+tiddler.title+"##1:9"+"]]"+"\>\>\n"'
>>

So I know how to //write// sections from a FET thingie, but I still
have a question:

Lets say I wanted to do a FET call (not sure of the proper
terminology) and get the same result, but not by listing out each
individual <<tiddler [[title##section]]>> like I've done there, but by
putting a single generic <<tiddler [[titleVariable##sectionVariable]]
>> in there and have the FET do a loop or index like thing that just
starts at a given section value and increases alphabetically (as all
my sections would increase numerically (yes I do realize, however that
I'll have to add a "0" at the first 9 verses of each book))

I've thought of trying to do this with placemarkers (or whatever
they're called: $1, $2 etc), but I'd like to have more than 9 at a
time, and besides, I still think it'd be easier to do it with
something like a "for/next loop"


Any suggestions?

Dave

Nevermind - I've just realized I'm making things far more complicated
than they need to be.

I found Eric's SetTiddlerHeight script that solves the tiddler length
problem by turning long tiddlers into short ones with a scroll bar. I
should have known to look for something like that!

Thanks again Morris, I do intend to use FET more and know I know a bit
more thanks to you :-)

Glad I could help Dave:-)

You also can scroll tiddler content by putting this in your StyleSheet
and adjusting the height to suit.

.scrollcontents {
height: 225px;
width: auto;
position:relative;
overflow: auto;
margin:auto;
margin-left:0em; }

then wrapping the particular tiddler's content like this

{{scrollcontents{
tiddler content
}}}
