Hey Tony,
Thanks for the tips, they're really appreciated. I found an easier way to
do what I wanted, but without having to change the currentTiddler.
Unfortunately, I'm having a problem with the syntax in the list filter
that's driving me a bit crazy. In the list filter, if I put the actual
field values into the tag filter, it works perfectly. But if I use text
references for the fields, nothing is returned. I've tried every syntax
combination I can think of, and nothing seems to work. I'm using a $button
for the list items now and the list is always empty. But when I was using
a $checkbox for the list items, then the filter seemed to work fine.
Here's the list filter with the direct field value substitutions - and it
works fine:
<$list filter="[!has[draft.of]tag[Brief]*tag[14-33296]!tag[14-00000]*
sort[title]]">
<div>
<$button><$action-listops $tags="[{!!super-opfac}]
-[{!!parent-opfac}]"/>Promote</$button>
<$link to={{!!title}}><$view field="title"/></$link>
</div>
</$list>
But when I try to use text references for the field values, it doesn't work:
<$list filter="[!has[draft.of]tag[Brief]
*tag{!!parent-opfac}!tag{!!super-opfac}*sort[title]]">
<div>
<$button><$action-listops $tags="[{!!super-opfac}]
-[{!!parent-opfac}]"/>Promote</$button>
<$link to={{!!title}}><$view field="title"/></$link>
</div>
</$list>
Forgive my naivete with Tiddlywiki, but can you help me understand what I'm
doing wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Scott
