Hello everyone, One outstanding ticket for TW5 was the creation of something that fulfills the function of the NewHerePlugin for TW classic (http://mptw.tiddlyspot.com/#NewHerePlugin). That plugin allows the user to click a button in one tiddler, a parent tiddler, and create a new tiddler, the child tiddler, tagged with the title of the parent tiddler.
A while back Stephan Hradek created a new tiddler plugin for TW5. Last week I finally sat down and figured out how to use his plugin to create a new here button. You can see it in action, and see a number of tweaks I have made to TW5, at http://giffmex.org/experiments/braintags.html. In the toolbar at the top of each tiddler there you will see five extra icons. These are new here buttons based on different templates. (Please note that this file is a personal experimental sandbox. It is not meant for general distribution. Should you download it and use it for your own note-taking, I don't mind, but use only with extreme caution. I will not be responsible for anything that happens to your data if you run into problems.) In order to close the outstanding ticket for TW5, I wanted to write up, here, the process, so you can create your own new here buttons. 1. GET THE PLUGIN: Go to Stephan's site http://tiddlystuff.tiddlyspot.com/ and open the More tab, then open the System tab. Drag the following tiddler to your TW5: $:/plugins/skeeve/newtiddler<http://tiddlystuff.tiddlyspot.com/#%24%3A%2Fplugins%2Fskeeve%2Fnewtiddler> . 2. SET UP THE BUTTON SCRIPT: Create a tiddler ($:/_viewtoolbar/newherebutton or a name of your choosing) and tag it $:/tags/ViewToolbar. Paste the following in the tiddler, then close and save. \define get_title(l) $l$$(title)$]] \end <$set name="title" value={{!!title}}> <$set name="tags" value=<<get_title "[[">>> <$newtiddler class="btn-invisible" title="your title here" skeleton="$:/_template/newhere">{{ $:/core/images/new-button }}</$newtiddler> </$set> </$set> (Note that this should be placed at the VERY TOP of the tiddler body.) 3. POSITION THE NEW BUTTON CORRECTLY IN THE VIEWTEMPLATE In your TW's More tab, in the Shadows tab, open the tiddler $:/tags/ViewToolbar<http://giffmex.org/experiments/braintags.html#%24%3A%2Ftags%2FViewToolbar>. Click to edit, and in the list field, add $:/_viewtoolbar/newherebutton TO THE LEFT of the other tiddler names listed. Close and save. 4. CREATE THE TEMPLATE OR SKELETON TIDDLER Create a new tiddler entitled $:/_template/newhere. Tag the tiddler $(tags)$. Upon adding this tag, it will turn into a dot or an invisible tag. Not to worry. If you wish to add any content or other tags you wish to appear on every single new tiddler you make with the newhere button, feel free to add that, too. Close and save. Now you should have a new tiddler button to the left of the other icons at the top of all tiddlers, that when clicked, creates a new tiddler based on the template or skeleton tiddler, whose tag is the title of the tiddler from which you clicked the newhere button. For a little more documentation, see the tiddler Newtiddler Widget at Stephan's site http://tiddlystuff.tiddlyspot.com/. Enjoy your new here buttons, everyone!
