Thank-you much. Go ahead and make me blush. When the mood strikes, that coding itch just needs to be scratched. TiddlyWiki is great for quick and dirty prototyping. On Monday, July 26, 2021 at 4:15:54 AM UTC-3 TW Tones wrote: > Nice work Charlie! > Tones > > On Monday, 26 July 2021 at

Hey Harry, Your use case had me pondering how I'd prototype something like that. It wound up turning into a "brain age" exercise for me, as I went ahead and put together a wee for-the-giggles-prototype hosted here

Harry, I understand where this confusion exists for many new users who in my opinion over rely in list-links which is a specific purpose macro to simplify things, but trying to use it other ways makes it more complex. I have the tweak info below, but feel you would benefit understanding my

Hi Tones, Thanks again for looking into this. Please forgive my fault of not making my point clear. My hope is to make the table cells auto-update themselves with both text and format. So far I find the list-link to be quite convenient as it allows me to assign values to the caption field and

Hi Charilie, For this table I only care about current chairs and ranking members as I want them to constantly auto-update as I edit other entries and the political cycle changes. I have a separate entry where I record historical committee compositions, as these entries are historical records

Silly question for you, Harry: do you only care about current chairs and ranking members in senate committees? Do you think you'd ever like to see the composition of these committees at various points in time ? On Friday, July 23, 2021 at 8:08:25 PM UTC-3 Harry wrote: > Hi all, > > I have a

Harry, The content inside the list widget is the template for each result it produces., unless you use the "variable" parameter. It depends on your list widget but try; "//<>//,,Afro,," this and you will see its still not as you expect, this is because the link mechaisium imposes some

Hi Tones, Really appreciate your help and patience, and sorry for bothering you with the seemingly endless petty issues! I tried the list widget code you suggested, but it only shows "Cedric Richmond" as a clickable link, while the list-links macros shows "Cedric Richmond" as a clickable link

Harry, I suggested the list widget <$list not the list-links macro who uses bullet points for the list. Also I would be inclined to set your values outside the table and keep it simple in side the table <$set name=agchair filter="[field:of1[27341089]]"> <$set name=incumbent-chair

Hi Tones, Thanks for your reminder! I have looked into the dynamic table but it seems that it does not allow me to customize the headers of columns and rows. Following your lead, I have tried to use list-links, but am still hitting some roadblocks. The code I'm currently trying is : | !Committee

Harry, There are arrange of approaches you can use here. There are already *dynamic table* solutions or the content of your table can refer to variables or transclusion such that if they change it is reflected in your table. I tend to populate tables using the list widget so its the result of
