Hi Jeremy, After you showed me <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/tiddlywiki/YEgHhQ0ZcFo/8oS__hRhnLIJ> how to use *insert-after* to render conditional content with *$:/tags/ViewTemplate*, I tried to experiment a little rendering something *non-intrusively* at the bottom of the sidebar below *$:/core/ui/SideBarLists*.
http://tb5.tiddlyspot.com/#%24%3A%2Ftemplate%2FAfterSidebar Turns out, that didn't quite work, as I realized that the *ListField* for *$:/tags/PageTemplate* only entails the toplevel elements, so that *list-after => $:/core/ui/**SideBarLists* ...won't have any effect as it's not part of the *ListField*. So, *list-after* and *list-before* really only apply to the *ListField*, not DOM elements or tiddlers being rendered. ——— That got me thinking that it might be quite powerful to be able to define some tiddler as to be rendered whenever certain other (shadow) tiddlers are being rendered / transcluded. Here is how that could work: 1. give *the tiddler* the tag of the corresponding *shadow tiddler* 2. define the field *render* 3. set the field value for *render* to either of *appendTo*, *prependTo*, *insertAfter*, *insertBefore* 4. transclude *the tiddler* accordingly whenever the *shadow tiddler* being referred to is rendered I can imagine that there might be a performance impact to this, but it would sure make customizing the output a whole lot more flexible. ——— As it is in the context of tagging, the documentation <http://tiddlywiki.com/#Tagging> on *list-after* and *list-before *doesn't say too much about how it is being used for templating, e.g.: - what system-tags is this relevant for - how to figure out the rendering order / elements / available placeholders - etc... I think it would be good to find some details on this at... http://tiddlywiki.com/#SystemTags Best wishes, Tobias. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
