Re: [tw5] Re: Alternate titles for tiddlers

Tones, I realise that your discussion is work in progress and was not counting on it to solve my problem. I will investigate Mario's suggestion and if it meets my needs will implement that. Bobj On Saturday, 10 October 2020 at 22:30:40 UTC+11 TW Tones wrote: > Bob, > > Sorry, I digress, Go

Bob, Sorry, I digress, Go with Mario's solution. I am speculating and working on various projects all at once, its the way I like to work. Using the caption if it exists and title if not. $:/core/ui/ViewTemplate/title replace <$view field="title"/> as follows <$view field="caption">

Re: [tw5] Re: Alternate titles for tiddlers

Mario I did see your post and will investigate it for my problem. Tones’ info provides a general solution by having every tiddler having a system generated and unalterable unique id with the ‘title’ now being a user field. Also he is describing a pointer based ‘database’ along the lines that

Re: [tw5] Re: Alternate titles for tiddlers

Tones Maybe we need to learn a lesson from databases, have every tiddler with a unique key generated by the system and use the title as a user field. Bobj Dr. Bob Jansen 122 Cameron St, Rockdale NSW 2216, Australia Ph: +61 414 297 448 Skype: bobjtls > On 10 Oct 2020, at 09:06, TW Tones
