[tw5] Re: TW5: textfield in a template
This thread was very helpful as I have aimed to understand how to have different layouts for different kinds of tiddlers, ones which superceded the amount of flexibility afforded by the ordering of tiddlers tagged as a view template, which include different positions for the text field itself in relation to other fields. Eventually I found another thread that explains the new view template "cascade" feature: https://talk.tiddlywiki.org/t/how-to-hide-tiddler-body-if-a-particular-viewtemplate-is-applied-on-that-tiddler/2509/5 It's now quite easy to add your own template and rules to the waterfall, without editing the core, in a manner which I believe Joshua's "hack" initially elucidated.

[tw5] Re: TW5: textfield in a template
Hi everyone,
Let me explain the method I am using to do these custom templates. I am not
changing the existing $:/tags/ViewTemplate or $:/tags/EditTemplate
architecture at all. The $list widget that builds each tiddler in the
story-river still does exactly that. What I have done is gone into key
system tiddlers with those tags and found the "bare minimum" code used to
render the content, moved that to a macro, such as `\define
tiddler-body-default()`. Then, in that place in the system-tiddler, I put
(cutting out the debug and "missing tiddler" fail-safe code):
<$list variable="sectionTemplate"
filter="[all[current]subfilter{$:/config/ui/ViewTemplate/body}]"
emptyMessage=<> >
<$transclude tiddler=<> >
<$/list>
This checks the $:/config/ui tiddler specified for a series of filters, and
uses those titles as sections. BY DEFAULT this will return empty and place
the original code back using the `emptyMessage` parameter. Because the list
hosting these `sectionTemplates` exist in the tiddler defining the
<> definition, I can use that macro anywhere in my
own templates to render the default __whatever__, be that into a tab, a
$reveal widget, a new <$div> with a specific class or id value that is a
filtered translcusion (triple braces), etc. So I can insert or hide/show
the default chunk of code within my own templates. So my glossary template
tiddler is as simple as:
<>
<>
The <> code is defined within the
$:/tags/ViewTemplate "body" tiddler, and the <> code is
defined in a global macro tiddler ($:/tags/Macro) because I re-use it in
other templates.
Because we are using the `subfilter{configTiddler}` operator, each filter
run in that config tiddler gets fed the <> value. Then, the
output is collected and returned as a title-list. This is used to render
the new UI for that section. The use of filters allows __whatever__ custom
triggers, conditionals, etc, you can conceive by using the current filter
operators. I am currently using the existence of a tag for both the
Glossary and $:/tags/Macro custom bodies. I will be building UI for my
Youtube, Vimeo, etc bookmarks to transclude their player-embed code by
grabbing the right parts from their link URL, and drive that on
[tag[Bookmark]regexp:url], or
[tag[Bookmark]regexp:url], or whatever.
I realize now that one of the things that sparked this idea was listening
to Jeremy on one of the tiddly-hangout videos talk about how robust the
filter operator "language" has become now, and that many things in the core
that were done in other ways could be revisited using Filters as the
primary syntax. This plus seeing some of the really cool stuff being
developed recently, and getting a better sense of how TW renders things
"under the hood". Thanks for trying this out, and for all the feedback so
far!
Best,
Joshua Fontany

Yeah, this is probably my favorite hack I've ever come up with. Its so easy to customize pieces of the Tiddler-in-the-Story-River. Right now I just got a tabbed editor working on all [tag[Glosary]] tiddlers, that auto-hides the Fields section in an accordian $reveal widget, and has the default editor on one tab, and my custom-fields editor on the next.

[tw5] Re: TW5: textfield in a template
Saq, Thanks, So it externalises the determination of the view template "pieces" to use given provided conditions? This seems like a very helpful hack, Using import variable on such templates we would also be able to reduce the global macros needed for specific macros for a given template. I would like to use this to replace the edit mode field handling with a customised one on particular tiddlers. I use a tiddler field called object-type each value of which may have its own view and edit templates, a template tiddler, and more so this may make this easier without modifying the Viewtemplate order to accomodate additions.

[tw5] Re: TW5: textfield in a template
Joshua, Can you share what the implications are in your mind? I now have Timimi on Chrome, and read the forum in chrome. I found a nice workflow. - Download the json files to a my scratch folder, but they sit in the browser footer tray - Go to Tiddlywiki.com drag the json files from the footer tray on top of tiddlywiki.com - I took the extra step of downloading tiddlywiki.com, double click in the download tray to open in a tab and drag the json to that for a Timimi savable test. You idea seems like an advance but I need to re-conceptualize this in relation to all the things I already know about viewTemplates, and how I would do what I already do. If we are modifying the view Templates there are a few other hackability issues that would be nice; Given the area you are modifying it makes sense to raise them here; - Tags to add items to the subtitle - Ability to display a prefix or suffix to the title - eg if chapter number is available display that before title - even use the tiddlers position in a tag list to obtain the number - Optional Extra a new float right toolbar under the existing one to add contextual buttons - Ones that appear of disappear on various tiddler or wiki wide conditions - We can already do this with conditional code in buttons, but it would help sort them from standard buttons if they had their own place. Either you could incorporate these changes in your templates, with a view to adding them to the core as well.

[tw5] Re: TW5: textfield in a template
I think I have a solution for this one. The ability to hide/replace the
default text field is a bit cumbersome atm. You can hide the text-body by
setting the `hide-body` field to "yes". And we can add new "sections" with
`$/tags/ViewTemplate`, but unless we dig around and copy the $reveal code
from another template section that will not be consistent with the Collapse
state Yeah. Complicated.
If I change the `$:/core/ui/ViewTemplate/body` tiddler slightly, we can
move the "tiddler-body-default" wikitext to a macro in the same tiddler:
```
\define tiddler-body-default()
<$list filter="[all[current]!has[plugin-type]!field:hide-body[yes]]">
<$transclude>
<$transclude tiddler="$:/language/MissingTiddler/Hint"/>
\end
```
And re-write the body of the tiddler like so:
```
<$reveal tag="div" class="tc-tiddler-body" type="nomatch"
stateTitle=<> text="hide" retain="yes" animate="yes">
<$list variable="bodyTemplate"
filter="[all[current]subfilter{$:/config/ViewTemplate/Body}]"
emptyMessage=<> >
<$transclude tiddler=<> >
<$tiddler tiddler=<> >
<$transclude tiddler="$:/language/MissingTiddler/Hint"/>
```
Then we can use an array of filters to check for tags, type, or any other
way you want to trigger a custom view template, and you can have more then
one resulting templateTitle output and it's all nested in the correct
$reveal widget, etc. Even better, you can use the `<>
macro ANYWHERE in your own templates to get the default text-field to show
up in that spot. Here is my current `$:/config/ViewTemplate/Body`:
```
[tag[$:/tags/Macro]then[$:/plugins/joshuafontany/core/ui/ViewTemplate/body/macro]]
[tag[Glossary]then[$:/plugins/joshuafontany/silatglossary/ui/ViewTemplate/body]]
[match[Test]then[$/plugins/joshuafontany/core/ui/ViewTemplate/body/TEST]]
```
Which as you can see, uses the
`$:/plugins/joshuafontany/core/ui/ViewTemplate/body/macro` tiddler as the
body-template for all Global Macro tiddlers. This template looks like:
```
<$view field="text"/>
```
Which is a bit overkill, but is exactly how, internally, the
`application.javascript` tiddlers are rendered. But this means I no longer
have to click edit on every Macro tiddler just to re-read it for bug, etc.
I'm going to expand this technique to render other custom tiddler types for
other projects.
Oh, yes, final note. The Type field can and will definitely over-ride this
custom rendering, as that's done internally using the wiki's Parser
methods. Also, I'm not sure if this is 100% backwards compatible, but the
only thing I can possibly think of it changing are the Numeric Values
output by the Qualify Macro (as these depend on how many and which tiddlers
the current content is being rendered "through").
I think I will expand this to allow for a tabbed interface in the Draft
Mode UI, with the standard Text Editor in one tab, and other content in
other tabs. I can also use this to extent the Title field to allow for a
custom Name (short & human readable, see plugins) that will display full
size (if present) and which pushes the full Title down to a line of smaller
text.
Best,
Joshua Fontany

Odin
Where you want text to appear in a html template you can use
<$transclude mode=block/>
Which defaults to currenTiddler and the text field.
Not sure if this solves your problem but it is another way.

[tw5] Re: TW5: textfield in a template
Hi Eric!
Thank you for the explanation of how the view tiddler is made of and how
the ordering works. That clarified a lot.
After trying out the list-before field, the text does change to after the
template. But what I was looking for was getting it inside the template.
Inside, there are some and that sorts the view into rows and columns. What I would like is to have
the text inside the column. In the example file, I placed a {{!text}} at
that spot.
Do you think that is possible?

The tiddler "view" is composed on several parts, each of which is tagged
with $:/tags/ViewTemplate. You can control the order in which those parts
are displayed.
To see the current order, you can go to your custom template tiddler, and
click on the "tag pill" for "$:/tags/ViewTemplate". This will display a
dropdown list of all tiddlers with that tag. The order shown in the list
is the order they will be displayed when viewing a tiddler.
There are several ways to change the order. This is (briefly) documented
in https://tiddlywiki.com/#Order%20of%20Tagged%20Tiddlers
For your purposes, the easiest approach is probably to add a "list-before"
field to your custom template, with a value of
"$:/core/ui/ViewTemplate/body".
This will cause your custom template to appear before the standard "text"
content of the tiddler.
Q.E.D.
