Mohammad, a ViewTemplate add-in (with simple dynamic table for items
tagged-here) would be awesome! Basically, I end up copy-pasting a basic
dynamic table into virtually every tiddler whose only role is to serve as a
parent/overview dashboard for its tagged underlings.
Another "stretch" task would stretch dynamic tables to work with an
input-oriented filter: Say, there's an input box where if students enter
their initials, all tiddlers where those initials are listed (in list
field) would show up. (For me, this is better than creating a separate
tiddler for each student for felt-privacy reasons (plus my own laziness
with many students); it's better if they can "call up" their own data by
entering initials in an input field, without having an easy way to feel
like everyone's data is for easy viewing; I understand that if the data is
"in there" a savvy student can find it.) I started tinkering with this
task, and then realized it was not going to be quick.
In general, I'm struggling a bit with whether and how I can feed variables
into a dynamic table macro; I can force a column header to display a string
like "next_level" (using tobibeer's setvars, or even by inserting
{{!!custom}} in the field list and setting that field up with next_level),
BUT the column won't actually show the next_level field contents for the
tiddler rows. Perhaps it's generally true of any <<macro>> that it's hard
to get the guts of the macro to work with anything that requires
calculation from outside the macro? Or else I'm just missing some insight
about how to inject a desired variable into the dynamic tables' macro
syntax.
