Hi Egbert Here comes my suggestion for your task: A conditional view template as I have learned it from Tobias Beer. This way we make something that shows up on any tiddler meeting predefined conditions. The condition I use

Hello Thomas, it's for job search and the title of the tiddlers are the job titles. The text box then serves as a quick notice taking tool to quickly add info which I might gather through a phone call, interview etc. The body of the tiddlers consist of the job descriptions, contact details etc.

Hi Egbert You will have to be even more precise ;–) How many such tiddlers do you want? Why do you want that? (If I want to change a tiddler’s text I hit the edit button.) Cheers, Thomas -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group. To

Hi Thomas, thanks for your help. Yes it works with one tiddler, but if I put a text in the textbox of tiddler 1 and also put some other text in the textbox of tiddler 2, the text of tiddler 1 get replaced with the most recent text of tiddler 2. Is there a possibility to put different texts to

Hi Egbert See, that is much easier than what Dave wanted :) Create a tiddler, name it as you like, and put this in: <$edit-text tiddler="MyExtendedMemoryNotes" placeholder="Your text goes here" default="The tiddler MyExtendedMemoryNotes will be created automagically." rows="10"

Hi Thomas, ah yes. What I try to do is to put a text box in a tiddler, which has a normal title with upper case (which I would not like to change). I would then like to write something into this textbox which should stay there, even after saving, closing and re-opening the TiddlyWiki file. I

Hi Egbert I know it's a steep learning curve ;–) And text-edit obviously is one of the tricky parts – but I am a bit tired now, midnight is near. Maybe in the meantime you could explain your personal usecase. What exactly do you want to achieve? (Possibly not the same as Dave.) Do you know

Hi guys This would work under certain conditions: \define bignotes(side) <$edit-text tiddler="notesInFields" field="$(currentTiddler)$.$side$" class="tw-edit-texteditor myTextEdit" tag="textarea"> \end <> There are restrictions concerning the naming of fields, so maybe it is not a good idea

I bet the solution is to set a default content which would have to be a variable set from the field that you'll be assigning it to. If I figure that out I'll post it here, but currently I'm not sure how to exactly. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups

Good catch! That happens to my version too. When you go look at where the notes are kept ([[notesInFields]]), the notes are still there, but I'm note sure why they don't appear in the tiddler that has the note box. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups

Yes! that's it (both) Actually this is a bonus value: Eric's gives a situation where the height is strictly enforced (i.e. the resize handle doesn't even work) - sometimes you want that, and Thomas's version gives a specified initial state, but you can resize if you want. Thank you Eric and
