Hello Anton, It can be a bit more challenging to search for information about displaying information from forms because in TW it's possible to use both 1. "fields" in (html) forms and 2. "custom fields"
Just to be sure, do you have the DataTiddlerPlugin? http://tiddlywiki.abego-software.de/#DataTiddlerPlugin There's pretty good documentation in the plugin description, showing how in fET you can either use DataTiddler.getData(tiddler,field) OR tiddler.data("field") cmari On Thursday, October 31, 2013 6:41:50 AM UTC-7, Anton Aylward wrote: > > While my use of forms & form templates has worked out well, I'm not > faced with using the data in the tiddlers that make use of the forms. > > I'm gaining experience with using the forEach macro with fields and > trying my hand with slices, but the <data/> has me beat. > > To give an example, I have tiddlers that contain things like this: > > <<formTiddler > [[CharacterTemplate]]>><data>{"firstname":"John","lastname":"Smith",,"description":"Miner","appearance":"Blue > > > eyes\nBlack hair\n","nationality":"Irish"}</data> > > I was hoping that I could use slices to deal with the parts like > "firstname":"John" > but it doesn't seem to work out. > > I spent much of last night going back tough the list archives and > googling and looking though other sites, but either my google-fu is > failing, this isn't something one should do when tired, or its not there. > > Surely, since form templates have been used to enter data, there is a > way to extract and collate that data? > > Can anyone help or give me pointers? > > Thanks > > > -- > "A witty saying proves nothing." > -- Voltaire > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
