Hi Looking back at my efforts from the era of TW5-beta, it appears that my main motivation for employing stacked widgets was to create a number of tiddlers in the background (in this case, folders for a GTD type wiki -- I needed to create a number of custom tiddlers with different field values.)
The problem that arises is that the title of the new tiddler isn't known until the tiddler is created. Try creating a number of tiddlers with repeated clicks of a button -- they will be named 'New Tiddler', 'New Tiddler 1', New Tiddler 2' .... (same goes for any other base title specified.) In order to manipulate the fields of the newly crated tiddlers, it was necessary for other widgets to know the title of the newly created tiddlers. This I solved by passing the name of the new tiddler through the widget stack using the 'param' attribute of the widget message. This precluded the use of tm-add-tag and tm-remove-tag widget messages, as the 'param' attribute is used in this case to carry the name of the tag. The widget is also less confusing to use due to the brevity of the code (the same widget may be used to unconditionally add or remove a tag, or to conditionally replace a tag.) I have now constructed an $action-mangletags widget which may be more convenient for many usage cases. regards On Friday, 13 February 2015 14:30:31 UTC+2, Andy Wood wrote: > > Hi, > > I would like to be able to completely delete Tags that I no longer use and > will now cause confusions for other users of the wiki. > > For example, I initially started using a tag named 2100iX.
