yikes! sorry for the miss-communication... lets see If I can bring
this all together...
I have many TW files, which have many tiddlers which are particular
topics, all of these topics have 5 fields which are consistent in all
tiddlers.
I capture the comments field like this.:
<html><TEXTAREA name=Comments rows=3 cols=30 ></TEXTAREA></html>
Then, in a separate file, I include each of the other tw files, (I use
this as a reporting mechanism for all of the TW files), using a For
Each Tiddler like this:
<<forEachTiddler
where
'tiddler.tags.contains("$1") && tiddler.tags.contains("$2")'
sortBy 'tiddler.data("Field C")' descending
write
'"|"+tiddler.title+"|+++^10em^[More Information][hide] [X
("+tiddler.data("Field A")+")===|"+tiddler.data("Field B")+"|+++^10em^
[Comments][hide] [("+tiddler.data("Comments")+")===|"+tiddler.data
("Field D")+"|\n"'>>
So, It works nicely in that it produces a nice neat little table, but
when one wants to read the comments about this particular thing (and
the comments could be paragraphs), they can click on the nested button
of "Comments". The problem, is that the comment field now is just a
text box, it can be easily overwritten and it does not capture the
users name or the time or date, so i am trying to find an alternative
way to capture these comments (like comment plugin), but having it in
something that can be referenced by the forEachTiddler above. I hope
this helps and is clearer. Thank you so much for taking the time to
help.
