Hi Mans I have added a prototype of a new <$iftid> widget at: http://gwiz.tiddlyspot.com/
This widget tests for the existence of a specified tiddler, then sends alternate messages to the stack depending upon whether this tiddler exists. I'm not sure if the messaging is all OK, but seems to work in simple cases. if the test is true and you have nothing further to do -- send a dummy message as the value for the 'then=' attribute to prevent spurious messages flying around. In the case that the tiddler does not exist, send a "tw-new-tiddler" message (the default) as the value of the 'else=' attribute, and add a <$maketid> widget to create your new tiddler (the title for the new tiddler must be specified in the <$maketid> widget.) Give the widget a try for your application. regards On Sunday, June 1, 2014 8:20:23 PM UTC+2, Matabele wrote: > > Hi Mans > > OK - I have an idea for a new widget -- should solve your problem whilst > helping out with my messaging problem in the stack. > > Give me a little time as the change will likely mean I have to modify my > other widgets a little to make them compatible. > > regards > > On Sunday, June 1, 2014 2:55:10 PM UTC+2, Måns wrote: >> >> Hi Matabele >> >>> >>> Now I'd love to combine <$mangletags> with <$maketid> via >> <$edit-text tiddler="temp" field="teacher"/> & >> <$edit-text tiddler="temp" field="task"/> so it would: >> >> 1) create a new task tiddler *only* if it doesn't already exist. >> 2) create a new teacher tiddler *only* if it doesn't already exist. >> > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
