I'm so happy - I figured it out (after reading Eric's 2007 reply more
carefully).
Anyway, for completion's sake, here's the code that works:
config.macros.newProblem={};
config.macros.newProblem.handler = function
(place,macroName,params,wikifier,paramString,tiddler)
{
if (!readOnly)
{
clearMessage();
var problemDescription = prompt("Enter Problem
Description-");
var now = new Date();
var formatedDate = now.formatString("YYYY-0MM-0DD");
var newtitle = formatedDate + " " +
problemDescription;
var newtext = "<<tiddler ProblemTemplate3 with: "+newtitle+">>"
if (store.tiddlerExists(newtitle))
{
alert("A tiddler with that name already
exists!!!");
}
else
{
story.displayTiddler
(null,newtitle,DEFAULT_EDIT_TEMPLATE);
story.setTiddlerTag(newtitle, "ProblemsList", 0);
story.getTiddlerField(newtitle,"text").value=newtext;
story.focusTiddler(newtitle,"title");
}
}
return false;
}
