I did a little experiment myself, to combine my latest version of "PowerSearch" (renamed from SearchAndDestroy) with the dynamic table output from Shiraz. Here's what I did: 1) From http://tiddlytools.com/filtergenerators.html, import these tiddlers (drag-and-drop from the sidebar list) * TiddlyTools/FilterGenerators/PowerSearch * TiddlyTools/Macros/edit-list since these are just macro definitions, there's no plugins involved and they can be used right away, without needing to save-and-reload. 2) Create a new tiddler containing: \import TiddlyTools/FilterGenerators/PowerSearch \define doSearch_showresults() <$macrocall $name=table-fd filter=<<filter>> tblClass="" fields="tbl-expand title fa fb fc caption tags" stateTiddler=n tblCaption="''Table 2. Dynamic table example''"/> \end \define getOptions() <!-- NO DISPLAY OPTIONS --> <<setStyles>> <<getInputs>> <$vars tids={{{ [<tidinput>get[text]] ~[[tiddlers]] }}} pre={{{ [<preinput>get[text]] }}} tag={{{ [<taginput>get[text]] }}} field={{{ [<fieldinput>get[text]] ~[[title,text,tags]] }}} flag={{{ [<flaginput>get[text]] ~[[words]] }}} term={{{ [<terminput>get[text]] }}} sort={{{ [<sortinput>get[text]] ~[[title]] }}}> <<doSearch>> </$vars> What it does: 1) import all the macros from PowerSearch 2) override doSearch_showresults() to invoke the "table-fd" macro call (note: use filter=<<filter>> instead of filter=<<uifilter>>) 3) override getOptions() button to remove the button and popup (note: they only apply to the default PowerSearch "showresults()" output) 4) get the inputs and do the search (same as the PowerSearch code) note that I don't apply your styles to the inputs, since the edit-list display relies upon overlapping of edit-text and select controls, which wouldn't look right if you change the input control styles. The result: my latest search input interface, with the Shiraz table output! enjoy, -e -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
