How did you install ForeachTiddlerPlugin?

It need to be tagged with "systemConfig" (without the quotes) saved
and the page has to be reloaded - otherwise the plugin wont be
active...

The listmacro is a core utitly which will allow for filtering - to
some extent.

It lets you create and use templates with the view macro:

If your MainMenu isn't updating it's content when you make changes,
you can force it to do so by adding a line to it in the PageTemplate
tiddler:
<div id='mainMenu' refresh='content' force='true' tiddler='MainMenu'></
div>

VisualTw has a nice TagsTreePlugin for the MainMenu:
The old one (don't think the TagsTreePlugin works in newer TWs ):

A new VisualTw with updated TagsTreePlugin (Should work in newer TWs)

Dave Gifford has made NoteStorm http://www.giffmex.org/newsblog/?p=168

which uses TreeViewPlugin for it's MainMenu ...

These are only some of the options to generate automatic lists of
tiddlers - There are a several more,  these however should be enough
to get you started...

Happy hacking
