I was playing around with this idea and decided to take a slightly different appraoch. I have something that is almost working, but I'm stuck on 2 issues.
I was thinking it would be more useful to have a tiddler that starts with 1 tab and optionally lets you generate new tabs as you go, adding each tab to the parent tiddler. Looking at the examples, I figured out how to make this work (almost). Each new tiddler will be given a name to be used as the tab caption, the tiddler itself being named with the tab name as a suffix added to the parent tiddler (in theory...it isn't quite working yet). Here is my experiment in progress, and some details: http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/pz4th10lqitmp3q/tab_test_wiki.html?dl=0 I created a tiddler "New Tab Form" (see code below), which has 2 edit-text widgets: Tab Title and Text. This form itself has a caption field "+" and it is transcluded as a tab into a view tiddler. So you start out with a single tab that gives you this form with a button to creating another tab: Title: <$edit-text class='tc-edit-texteditor' tiddler='$:/state/NewTabForm' field='name_temp' placeholder='Tab Title'/> Text: <$edit-text class='tc-edit-texteditor' tiddler='$:/state/NewTabForm' field= 'text' placeholder='Tab Text'/> <$button>Create Tab <$action-setfield $tiddler="TESTING NEW TAB" text={{$:/state/NewTabForm!! text}} parent={{!!title}} caption={{$:/state/NewTabForm!!name_temp}}/> <$action-setfield $tiddler='$:/state/NewTabForm' name_temp='' text=''/> </$button> I wanted the New Tab Form to be able to access the title of whatever tiddler it is transcluded into. This way it can generate a new tiddler using the name of the parent tiddler and add the tab title as a suffix. So if I start a parent tiddler called "Parent", select the new tab form and say I want a new tab called "Summary", the form will generate a new tiddler called "Parent_Summary", but with a caption field of just "Summary". So I create a system tiddler $:/state/newtab that simply transludes the form as a template like this: {{||New Tab Form}} Then my parent topic gets all the tabs who's parent field is the title of THIS tiddler (plus the form in the last tab to create even more tabs): <<tabs "[field:parent[Test Parent Topic]] [[$:/state/newtab]]">> So this part is basically all working: - The form properly gets the the title of the parent tiddler and assigns it to the parent field of the new tiddler. - The filter in the parent properly generates tabs for all the tiddlers who have this assigned as the parent. So the 2 issues are: - I had to hard code the title of the new tiddler (as TESTING NEW TAB above). I couldn't figure out the syntax to have it generate a unique title by combining the {{!!title}} with the !!name_temp field. - In the parent tiddler, to get the tabs I want, I had to hardcode the filter to search on the exact name of the parent tiddler. I really want to use *!!title* as the parent field to filter on. But this doesn't work. I can't find any examples of using a text reference as an input to filtering on a field (I only see examples of doing this for tags). I feel like I'm really close to making this work. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
