History Buff,
Good to hear you made progress.
One guess on repeated outputs is there is a loop somewhere doing it, again
without looking at your code, muy guess may be that your code {{
[title<temp>get[archive]] }}} is inside a list that has more than one
result when you think it only has one. Even just use the +[limit[1]] to see
if that helps you identify the list generating multiple outputs by stopping
it. AL;so, This sometimes occurs when a filter does not start with
[all[current]... to ensure it only applies here, on the current tiddler,
then it finds all tiddlers that match.
Regards
Tones
