I am exploring the use of data dictionary tiddlers, and they seem to be
very useful as a way of having data stored in the text of a tiddler, rather
than in a field or tag.
Here's my thought process -
- I work on multiple projects in my company, each with a job number, WBS
code etc. I have a tiddler with a list of these codes.
- I turned it into a table in the tiddler, before realising it would be
better to have each project code in a separate tiddler.
- First I had each tiddler contain the syntax for a table row: "| A | B
| C |". But this didn't work when I used a list to return them.
- I could have put the HTML tags in, but then I remembered data tiddlers.
- OK, now I have a data tiddler for each project, with the following
values:
jn_company:[[THIS]]
jn_project:[[THAT]]
jn_number:648021
jn_WBS:10003
jn_cc:0089
jn_ct:07
jn_task:000
jn_fnct:00
- By the way, it's nice that a value can be a wiki link.
- So now I can do a list of all the data tiddlers called "Job Number:
xxx", using the following syntax:
<$list filter="[prefix[Job Number:]]">
*{{##jn_company}}
*{{##jn_project}}
*{{##jn_number}}
*{{##jn_WBS}}
*{{##jn_cc}}
*{{##jn_ct}}
*{{##jn_task}}
*{{##jn_fnct}}
</$list>
- But typing out all the text references got a bit tedious.
- So the question is, is there a way to go through all the text
references in order and return their values? Then I could do a macro which
would return a row of a table, without having to specify the text
references.
Sorry for the long post, but I wanted to give some background. Feel free to
point out errors in the above.
Thanks,
Matthew
