The right hand panel is called "the Sidebar". The "Page Controls" buttons
that appear at the top of the sidebar (e.g., "new tiddler", "control
panel", "save changes", etc.) are not stored in a single tiddler. Rather,
each button definition has it's own tiddler, and these tiddlers are all
tagged with "$:/tags/PageControls" to indicate that they should appear in
that part of the Sidebar.
To define your own button, create a new tiddler (e.g., "MyButton")
1) First, add the $:/tags/PageControls tags to that tiddler.
2) Next, enter your button definition into the text area, like this:
<$button class="tc-btn-invisible"
<$list filter="[<tv-config-toolbar-icons>match[yes]]">
{{$:/core/images/spiral}}
</$list>
<$list filter="[<tv-config-toolbar-text>match[yes]]">
<span class="tc-btn-text"><$text text="New Study"/></span>
</$list>
<$action-sendmessage $message="tm-new-tiddler" tags="study"
text={{MyButtonTemplate}}/>
</$button>
3) Then, add a new field named "caption". In this field, enter:
{{$:/core/images/spiral}} New Study
4) and add another new field named "description". In this field, enter:
Use this button to create a new Study tiddler with default content
Then, create a separate tiddler named "MyButtonTemplate", containing the
default content you want, i.e.,
Source:
! Findings
! Abstract
Once you have defined these tiddlers, it will automatically appear as a
Page Control at the top of the Sidebar.
You can re-position this button to put it the desired order alongside the
other PageControls
To do this, open the $:/ControlPanel (click the gear icon in the Sidebar).
1) The $:/ControlPanel has multiple levels of "tabs" for getting to the
controls you need.
2) Select the "Appearance" tab (across the top). This will show a second
level of tabs:
"Palette", "Story View", "Theme", "Toolbars" and "Theme Tweaks".
3) Select the "Toolbars" tab. This will show a third level of tabs,
displayed vertically on the left:
"Edit Toolbar", "Editor Toolbar", "Page Toolbar" and "View Toolbar".
4) Select the "Page Toolbar" tab. This will display a set of checkboxes,
showing all the buttons that are tagged with "$:/tags/PageControls".
If you've created your tiddler correctly, your new button will appear at
the bottom of this list.
To reposition it, just grab it with the mouse and drag it to move it within
the list.
That should do it. Let me know how it goes...
enjoy,
