Greetings!
I would like to automatically add fields when I start a journal tiddler.
I've searched and don't find an easy way to do this. Some of the comments
I've read seems overly complicated and is over my head. I only dabble in
the behind-the-scenes code, my level being "tinkerer." Looking at some of
conversations and piecing together things, however, it seems to me that I
could simply add text in the *$action-sendmessage* command within
*$:/core/ui/Actions/new-journal*.
Now, I suspect this will cause a visceral reaction throughout the
community–shock and howls of outrage. I imagine you'd want me to clone some
shadow tiddler or other and update or entirely rewrite others; but, I mean,
if I'm careful and test it out first, is that not a solution? It seems to
work on my test tiddler. Will I break something else or cause some other
major issue that I'm not aware of?
Below is my proposed change to *$:/core/ui/Actions/new-journal *with the
simple addition of the following:
*field1="F1 Default" field="F2 Default" field3=""*
\define get-tags() $(textFieldTags)$ $(tagsFieldTags)$
<$vars journalTitleTemplate={{$:/config/NewJournal/Title}}
textFieldTags={{$:/config/NewJournal/Tags}}
tagsFieldTags={{$:/config/NewJournal/Tags!!tags}}
journalText={{$:/config/NewJournal/Text}}>
<$wikify name="journalTitle" text="""<$macrocall $name="now"
format=<<journalTitleTemplate>>/>""">
<$reveal type="nomatch" state=<<journalTitle>> text="">
<$action-sendmessage $message="tm-new-tiddler" title=<<journalTitle>>
tags=<<get-tags>> text={{{ [<journalTitle>get[]] }}}/>
</$reveal>
<$reveal type="match" state=<<journalTitle>> text="">
<$action-sendmessage $message="tm-new-tiddler" title=<<journalTitle>>
tags=<<get-tags>> *field1="F1 Default" field="F2 Default" field3=""*
text=<<journalText>>/>
</$reveal>
</$wikify>
</$vars>
Is there a better way to do this? An easier way than cloning and rewriting
code?
Thoughts, recriminations?
Thanks much!
