In case it's helpful to anyone else: the obvious solution to this problem was to put my checkbox macro in a separate tiddler (called datestamp) and then use <span macro='tiddler datestamp'> in the ViewTemplate.
Next idea: gather up the many transclusion tiddlers that are floating around unattached in my TW into a single tiddler with sections. But I still don't know why my original approach stopped working. cmari On May 15, 1:46 pm, cmari <[email protected]> wrote: > Sorry, I forgot to add the final piece that I don't understand: > Using the same macro (with or without html) inside a tiddler rather > than in the ViewTemplate works fine in both 2.5.3 and 2.6.0. > > I use CheckboxPlugin in my ViewTemplate so that I have the option of > adding a "date stamp" to my tiddlers (checking the box adds today's > date to a custom field called "datelastdone"). > Since upgrading to version 2.6, my approach no longer works.
