Thanks Mat for that advice.

Your solution works great for my purposes and has taught me something as
well.

@Robert, I just realized something to be careful with: Make sure the filter 
includes something so that it is only the newly imported tiddlers and not 
old tiddlers that already have the inserted text. I.e add some date 
criteria in the filter. I can't recall exactly how to do this but you can 
do a search in the forum. You can probably make it generic by making the 
date be todays date (using the "now" macro)

Re: [tw5] Re: Adding text to newly imported tiddlers

[TW Tones]

A view template to support viewing your tiddlers should be all that's needed.

If the data is not private can you share it in a private reply? There are 
plenty of ways to automate this without appending anything.

Tony

OK, modify this and see if it works:

Re: [tw5] Re: Adding text to newly imported tiddlers

[Robert Jopling]

In response

1. Yes they are all tagged the same
2. Yes they would need to be findable in a regular search

I hope this helps

Re: [tw5] Re: Adding text to newly imported tiddlers

[Mat]

@Robert, is there any other commonality - besides that they're all imported 
- among the relevant tiddlers? For example, do they happen to be tagged in 
a specific way that is unique for all tiddlers where you want this text to 
show, or are they all prefixed in some way or do they all have some shared 
uniquely titled field?

And will you use the appearing text other than viewing it? Should it be 
findable in regular search? Will you transclude it elsewhere?

IF your reply is that "they all share the common trait X" and "it doesn't 
have to be findable in regular search" then the problem is very simple to 
solve. It is solvable regardless, but IF those criteria are met then it's 
really simple. Just sayin.

Re: [tw5] Re: Adding text to newly imported tiddlers

[Robert Jopling]

Tony

Many thanks for responding to my query.

This is what i am trying to achieve. I have some data in a database and,
with Eric's help, I have transferred that data via JSON into a number of
tiddlers with data in a number of fields. To see the data I have to add the
same text to the body of every tiddler so I would like to add that text to
the new tiddlers on import. Possibly a different solution to the problem
that I outlined in my first email.

So in answer to your questions:
1. The body is empty so it does not matter
2. Yes, common to all.

I hope this helps and many thanks.

Rob

Re: [tw5] Re: Adding text to newly imported tiddlers

[Robert Jopling]

Hello

Thank you for responding to my query. It is probably worth outlining what i
am trying to achieve. I have some data in a database and, with Eric's help,
I have transferred that data via JSON into a number of tiddlers with data
in a number of fields. To see the data I have to add the same text to the
body of every tiddler so I would like to add that text to the new tiddlers
on import. Possibly a different solution to the problem that I outlined in
my first email.

Does that help?
