Hello all,
I'm hoping to simplify my end-user login experience using BOB. Currently I
have each user enter their name when the load the wiki and then use that
name to log things. My thought is that to save them the typing, I could
send them a permalink and figure it out automatically from there. It seems
I cannot do this the way I intended as the value I'm trying to expand is
always blank...
Here's what I'm trying:
Start with link like
10.1.111.111:8080/Wiki#UserA
Make a new startup tiddler like $:/mywiki/startup and tag it
$:/tags/StartupAction. Containing:
<$action-setfield $tiddler="$:/temp/startup" $field="user"
$value={{{[list[$:/StoryList]first[1]]}}}/>
My logic being that the permalink will cause a single tiddler to open on
startup (in my case "UserA"), then the StartupActions fire and the first
tiddler in the StoryList would be UserA, which would then log to
$:/temp/startup!!user. Instead, it's blank.
I keep trying things, like a hard coded value in the $value area - which
does work. So that means the problem is either:
1. It's the {{{ [[]] }}} notation in the $value area - which normally
works, but doesn't during startup? I tried doing that part in a $set and it
didn't help
2. The order of operations is such that the StartupActions happen before
the UserA even loads (this seems most likely)
3. Something else?
Anybody have an idea why this doesn't work - or a different solution?
