How do I programmatically build a string to be used as the title for a new
tiddler (<$button> ... $message="tm-new-tiddler" ... title=???)?
I'm trying to use <$button> to start a new tiddler, but I can't get the
title set the way I wish. What I want the new tiddler title to be (for
instance( is "*A1234,Risk (2020-07-27 15:00:00): *", where:
* "*A1234*": value of storyTiddler's field "projectnumber".
* "*,*": litteral.
* "*Risk*": litteral for the purposes of this discussion (would prefer it
to be parameterized somehow eventually).
* "* (*": litteral.
* "*2020-07027 15:00:00*": from "<<now "YYYY-0MM-0DD 0hh:0mm:0ss">>".
* "*): *": litteral.
I am currently using (inside <$button>) 'title=<<now
"addProjectNumberHere,Risk (YYYY-0MM-0DD 0hh:0mm:0ss): ">>'. (The
"addProjectNumberHere" is just a reminder to me to place the project number
into the title whenever I add a new risk.)
It seems that I have to execute the "now" macro only when the new tiddler
is created, else the date/time will be off. But, I can't concatentate
anything on the "title=" line, and attempting to build the "title=" line
with a different macro just passes the macro definition characters to the
title (no evaluation).
The button is a tiddler titled "buttonNewRisk". That button is transcluded
in a tiddler "listProjectRisks". That list is hosted as a tab of the story
tiddler "A1234".
Tiddler text for the button to generate a new Risk tiddler follows:
\define projnum()
<$view tiddler=<<storyTiddler>> field=projectnumber/>
\end
\define taglist()
<<projnum>> risk
\end
\define titlemaker()
<<projnum>>,Risk (<<now "YYYY-0MM-0DD 0hh:0mm:0ss">>): THIS DOESN'T WORK
WHEN CALLED AS A MACRO ON THE "title=" LINE BELOW
\end
\define buttonnewrisk()
<$wikify name="newtags" text=<<taglist>> >
<$wikify name="newprojnum" text=<<projnum>> >
<$button>
New project risk entry
<$set name="newtext" value={{creationtemplateRisk}} >
<$action-sendmessage
$message="tm-new-tiddler"
title=<<now "addProjectNumberHere,Risk (YYYY-0MM-0DD
0hh:0mm:0ss): ">>
tags=<<newtags>>
text=<<newtext>>
projectnumber=<<newprojnum>>
/>
</$set>
</$button>
</$wikify>
</$wikify>
\end
Need to document a new project risk? Click this [[button|buttonNewRisk]]
and, with this [[template|creationtemplateRisk]], a risk tiddler will be
created and tagged with ''risk'' and with ''<<projnum>>'': <<buttonnewrisk>>
