Awesome Eric !
This is fantastic, I have thoroughly tested this new version of the script
and it does exactly what I need.
For others reading this post I can recommend this script as a "top tool" for
tiddlywiki.
With this you can create multiple tiddlers from a single tiddler and name
them, attach tags and manipulate the contents generated systematically
(using the output format). For any PIM GTD or other application where a
canned set of tiddlers need to be generated it is fantastic. I imagine you
could even package a customised tiddlywiki in a few tiddlers then run the
splittiddler to "extract" them all, save and reload, and "wa la" fully
customised tiddlywiki. I use it now to generate the first 11 'known' steps
for every project I do.
Eric,
As I did with the older script I have modified it in my wiki (with a note to
that effect) so that I can pass replacable parameters to it; eg in bold.
<td style='width:33%;border:0;'>
source tiddler:<br>
<input name='src' value=*'$1' *onfocus='this.select()'
style='width:98%'
title='title of tiddler containing source material'>
</td><td style='width:33%;border:0;'>
item separator:<br>
<input name='sep' value='\n----\n' onfocus='this.select()'
style='width:98%'
title='character sequence used to separate source items'>
</td><td style='width:33%;border:0;'>
add tags:<br>
<input name='tags' value='*[[$3]] $2 [[.projectTask]]
[[NewProjectsteps]]*' style='width:98%'
title='space-separated tags for target tiddlers'>
I pass the source tiddler name as $1, but for some reason this does not
work, although the tiddler name apears in the source tiddler field, I get an
error message until I change it in some way. When you hit the button a
message comes up ""Please enter a tiddler title". At the moment I pass the
value "Del sourcetiddler", by deleting the "del ", the split tiddler button
works. All the others work fine such as the tags value above.
Is there a way to get the script to accept the first replacable parameter
without typing in that field ?
*Regardless of the above issue It is fantastic, so once again thank you very
much Eric, peoples productivity with tiddlywiki around the world improves
when you make enhancements.*
Regards TonyM
