One more question. If I wanted to make it so I can select any given
year or a decade, is there a way I can do that without having to type in
all of the selections? Such as some kind of loop or similar? Also, I would
anticipate that the dropdown would get very large in that case. Is there a
way to make a scrollable dropdown?
Thanks again,
Damon

If you don't mind having every single year in your drop-down, then change
the range to range[1781,1979] or whatever your years are. Also get rid of
"0s" since it's no longer relevant.

That was my very first go at it and it always returns the total

That code I pasted was a copy and paste problem while I was in

Thanks Mark,
That works for the decades. How would I modify that to add the individual
years as well as the decades? By the way, I really appreciate the help. I
obviously need it.

[tw5] Re: Generate list of tiddlers based on a partial field match with variables
It's a little more complicated. You can generate like this:
\define regxdate() ^$(prefix)$
<$select field='primary'>
<$list filter="[range[185,188]]" variable="prefix">
>><>0s
The macro goes at the top of the tiddler. You can use the "multiple" and
"size" options to put the list in its own box. The only problem is that
your user could accidentally pick more than one item at a time.
There might be a way to fix that by over-riding the class.

Hello all,
I'm a newbie when it comes to filters and such so please bear with
me.
I have a TW where the tiddlers are companies and each tiddler has a
field called "charterfiled" for when the company was chartered. The
format
of the charter field is 1864-08-20. I can count how many companies
were
chartered in the 1860s with the following:
<$count
filter="[tag[Company]regexp:charterfiled[^186]sortan[charterfiled]]"/>
What I'm trying to do is to use the select widget to pick the
decade I'd like. I wrote the following:
<$select field='primary'>
1850s
1860s
1870s
1880s
''year:'' {{!!primary}}
<$count filter="[tag[Company]regexp:charterfiled]"/>
The variable "primary" gets set correctly, but the count returns
all of the tiddlers tagged Company and not just the ones from the
1860s.
What am I doing wrong? I've tried many different things in the filter
and
the count will return 0 or the total number, but never the correct
number.
Thanks,
Damon

Well, the select widget has to store its results somewhere. However, you
can specify some other tiddler in the select widget (e.g. <$select
tiddler="SomeOtherTiddler"...> )
You would then have to refer to it in your count widget
<$count
filter="[tag[Company]regexp:charterfiled{SomeOtherTiddler!!primary}]"/>

Hi Mark,
That was my very first go at it and it always returns the total count
of all Company tiddlers when there should be only anywhere from 4 to 111
depending on the decade chosen. The total number is well over 1000. I even
tried it with the square brackets while setting the value.
That code I pasted was a copy and paste problem while I was in
transition. Sorry about that.

[tw5] Re: Generate list of tiddlers based on a partial field match with variables
Ok - now for another question. How can I modify this to make it use a
variable instead of a field so that the tiddler isn't changed?
Thanks

Hello all,
I'm a newbie when it comes to filters and such so please bear with me.
I have a TW where the tiddlers are companies and each tiddler has a
field called "charterfiled" for when the company was chartered. The format
of the charter field is 1864-08-20. I can count how many companies were
chartered in the 1860s with the following:
<$count
filter="[tag[Company]regexp:charterfiled[^186]sortan[charterfiled]]"/>
What I'm trying to do is to use the select widget to pick the decade
I'd like. I wrote the following:
<$select field='primary'>
1850s
1860s
1870s
1880s
''year:'' {{!!primary}}
<$count filter="[tag[Company]regexp:charterfiled]"/>
The variable "primary" gets set correctly, but the count returns all of
the tiddlers tagged Company and not just the ones from the 1860s. What am
I doing wrong? I've tried many different things in the filter and the
count
will return 0 or the total number, but never the correct number.
Thanks,
Damon

The problem is that the "primary" value is being stored in the current
tiddler, but when you are referencing it in the filter, it is relative to
each matched [tag[Company]] tiddler.
Also, the filter syntax, "" is references a variable, not a
field. Thus, to actually refer to the selected value stored in the
*current* tiddler, try this:
<$select field='primary'>
1850s
1860s
1870s
1880s
''year:'' {{!!primary}}
<$vars primary={{!!primary}}>
<$count filter="[tag[Company]regexp:charterfiled]"/>
Let me know how it goes...

[tw5] Re: Generate list of tiddlers based on a partial field match with variables
Hi Mark,
That was my very first go at it and it always returns the total count of
all Company tiddlers when there should be only anywhere from 4 to 111
depending on the decade chosen. The total number is well over 1000. I even
tried it with the square brackets while setting the value.
That code I pasted was a copy and paste problem while I was in transition.
Sorry about that.

Without actually trying it, I can see you've got "charterfiled" in the
value of each option. So the filter is seeing
...charterfiled...
Try making your options like:
1850s
Good luck!
