The behavior when a link is clicked, whether the tiddler exists or not, it to *display* the tiddler in the story column. Once displayed, it is then a separate user-made decision to actually edit that tiddler. Of course, if the tiddler doesn't exist, there's generally nothing to display (hence, the default "double-click to create" text). However, this is not always the case.
For example, some people modify the default text to provide alternative informational messages (e.g., step-by-step instructions for creating/editing tiddlers) to help their user's learn how to use the document more effectively, and some TW documents use custom ViewTemplate definitions that can be used to set tiddler values *without* entering "edit mode" (e.g, http://www.tiddlytools.com/#QuickNote) In addition, this plugin: http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#MissingTiddlersPlugin can display alternative outputs for particular tiddler titles (or patterns of tiddler title) so that different missing tiddlers can have different behaviors. This enhanced handling is triggered by modifying the default tiddler text so that a custom macro, <<missingTiddlers ...>>, is rendered any time a non-existing tiddler is displayed. With the above issues in mind, I think perhaps that others have mis- interpreted your question, and that you are actually asking for a change in the *behavior* when a non-existing tiddler is displayed rather than simply wanting to change or eliminate the default text. > Now when i click on the billtest link... > Why does it not create the tiddler and open the new tiddler in edit > mode? The behavior you suggest seems reasonable... as a custom alternative to the existing default handling. First, you'll need http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#InlineJavascriptPlugin Then, create a tiddler, tagged with 'systemConfig', containing: ------------ config.views.wikified.defaultText ='<script> var here=story.findContainingTiddler(place); story.displayTiddler(here.previousSibling,here.getAttribute("tiddler"),DEFAULT_EDIT_TEMPLATE); </script>'; ------------ note: ignore GoogleGroups word-wrapping.. the above should be all on *one line* Save-and-reload your document. From then on, whenever the default text for a non-existing tiddler is displayed, the above 'inline script' will be invoked to automatically re-display the tiddler using the EditTemplate (i.e. start "edit mode") That should do it.... enjoy, -e Eric Shulman TiddlyTools / ELS Design Studios -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
