Hi Tobias The $fieldmangler widget was introduced early on in the development of TW5 -- at the time (I presume) it was the only way of manipulating tags and fields -- it performs an essential part of the core functionality of TW5.
I developed the $mangletags and $setfield widgets as more versatile
replacements for the $fieldmangler widget. The new $action-setfield has in
turn rendered much of the functionality of my $setfield widget redundant.
I would prefer a more versatile replacement for the $fieldmangler widget,
but this would necessitate numerous edits to the core functionality of TW5.
Perhaps, in the interim, it would be easier to include a widget in the core
along the lines of my new $action-mangletags widget. I will publish soon,
but I wish to first test this out in usage, as I made several changes to
the $mangletags code (my $mangletags widget contained a logic error for
several iterations after I first published.)
I have attached a beta version for testing purposes.
regards
