Misterel,
I am *not* the expert; others could probably write the code you need in 60
seconds. But since nobody else has answered, and understanding your task
and its problems demands some time and attention, I'll offer one nudge to
start...
It seems you want your macro to count (and then display one summary line
for) each of the CURRENT tiddler's fields that start with ref_ -- Is that
correct?
Instead, your macro is counting (and then displaying one summary line for)
every field in your whole wiki that begins with ref_
Try pasting your code (with the variable filled in) and this alternate
code, into your Exercice1 tiddler. Your code yields 5, because the whole
project had five ref_ fields; but beginning your filter with [all[current]
gets you the number you want.
First segment of your existing macro's code (specifying the prefix):
<$set name="fieldCount" filter="[fields[]prefix[ref_]count[]]">
<$text text={{{ [<fieldCount>match[0]then[Pas de ]else<fieldCount>] }}} />
<$text text={{{ [<fieldCount>!match[1]then[sources :]else[source :]] }}} />
</$set>
Better:
<$set name="fieldCount" filter="[all[current]fields[]prefix[ref_]count[]]">
<$text text={{{ [<fieldCount>match[0]then[Pas de ]else<fieldCount>] }}} />
<$text text={{{ [<fieldCount>!match[1]then[sources :]else[source :]] }}} />
</$set>
All I'm doing here is the technique in https://groktiddlywiki.com/read/
That is: breaking down a complex problem into smaller bits, and getting
your macro to count right *before* trying to set it up in the ViewTemplate
with an additional variable for the prefix and an additional condition for
displaysource[yes].
Alas, I need to switch to other tasks, but I hope you're on the road to
getting the behavior you need.
