Sorry, no. There was nothing written or recorded for the first three
Clinic sessions. However, I *CAN* do that same walkthrough again,
especially if there's more interest in the topic. To give you a start,
here's a super-abbreviated lesson in using custom fields:
1) To create a custom input field in edit mode, add a line like this to
EditTemplate:
<div class='editor' macro='edit demo'>Please enter your comment
here:</div>
("demo" is the custom field name, and must be all lower case, no spaces)
2) To display a custom field value in view mode, add a line like this to
ViewTemplate:
<div class='democlass' macro='view demo wikified'></div>
(To display plain text without parsing, omit the keyword "wikified" is
optional)
3) To style the display output, define ".democlass" CSS in StyleSheet:
.democlass { border:1px solid gray; padding:1em; margin-top:1em; }
(use whatever styles you like.)
note: the above changes will customize the view and edit modes for *all*
tiddlers in the document.
4) To apply a custom template only for selected tiddlers, install:
http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#TaggedTemplateTweak
5) Rename ViewTemplate and EditTemplate to "FoobarViewTemplate" and
"FoobarEditTemplate"
(all tiddlers evert to using the default shadow ViewTemplate and
EditTemplate)
6) Tag a tiddler with "Foobar" and it will switch to using the custom
"FoobarViewTemplate and "FoobarEditTemplate", allowing you to enter and
display the custom fields defined by those templates.
7) To create a new tiddler that automatically uses the custom template,
adds the necessary "Foobar" tag value, you can write:
<<newTiddler ... template:'FoobarEditTemplate' tag:'Foobar' ... >>
Of course, you can have as many custom
"SomethingViewTemplate/SomethingEditTemplate" pairs as you like, each with
a different "Something" prefix. This allows you to have multiple "type" of
tiddlers in the same document.
.... and that's it. The basics of "custom fields" in TiddlyWiki.
enjoy,
