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very helpful as I have aimed to understand how to have different layouts for different kinds of tiddlers, ones which superceded the amount of flexibility afforded by the ordering of tiddlers tagged as a view template, which include different positions for the text field itself

I have not played much with this yet, but I keep coming back to this thread. Now that I'm getting over the hangover from discovering what filters can now do, this is the Next Big Thing as far as I'm concerned. I hope to find time to test-drive this soon. Cheers, Chris On Monday, May 25, 2020

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

Here is a json of all the tiddlers necessary to test this out, both the changed sysetem tiddlers, and the custom templates and settings tiddlers I have been using to test this new system. If you drag everything into a fresh wiki, and then open the "Adat 1" tiddler, you should see that the

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

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.

@TonyM in short this allows you to completely override and replace any part of the ViewTemplate that you want to. Look at Joshua's example for $:/config/ViewTemplate/Body from above. [tag[$:/tags/Macro]then[$:/plugins/joshuafontany/core/ui/ViewTemplate/body/ macro]]

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

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

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. Tony On Wednesday, January 8, 2020 at 7:45:05 AM UTC+11, Odin Jorna wrote: > > Hi Eric! >

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
