It's nothing new that giewiki supports alternative edittemplate and viewtemplate attributes to be defined for specific tiddlers. Prior to the 1.15.8 release, there wasn't however a nice way to specify which, making it effectively a developer-only feature. The new release adds a generic field editing facility (available only to admins and page owners) that lets you set these attributes through the standard UI. I realize that this is only a step on the way; having defined an alternative template, you would naturally want to easily instantiate tiddlers based on it.
The primary reason I write is however to float a different idea that came up in the process. The way I have implemented the field editor is as separate pseudo-tiddler, in order to allow it to be opened through a tiddler link of the form "fields:TiddlerName", and it occurred to me that it might be a useful feature if you could apply any template to any tiddler through a link pattern like templatename:TiddlerName. A use case might be to give different people access to the same tiddlers through different templates. But then again, this could be totally redundant, if there are better ways to do the same thing - what do you think..? :-) Poul http://giewiki.appspot.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
