>> Can you give an example of #3. I've never had luck calling a widget from
inside a widget and I would like to know how it's done
Oh right. I do all my editing from dashboards because all my tiddlers are
structured. The concept is as follows:
Analysis
============
# Decide on a structure for your tiddlers
#* Example "Book" would have the following fields
#** Title
#** Authors
#** Publisher
#** My random ramblings
#** My Review
#** Plot synopsis
#** ISBN Number
Discussion
=============
* My random ramblings is a good candidate for the text field
* My Review, and Plot synopsis are good candidates for slices
* The title of the book should be put in the caption field because two
books can have the same title
* ISBN is unique for books so put that in the title filed (The name of the
tiddler - must be unique)
* Authors can be multiple so this would be a list of authors populated from
tiddlers tagged "author"
** This requires a macro to populate it.
** You can use crazyListHere from cpashow.tiddlyspot.com
** As you might suspect from the name, my macro currently does all sorts of
stuff in addition to populating a list
* Publisher is a text name populated using a select from tiddlers tagged
"publisher"
Code a template
=========================
Create a tiddler to act as the "template" for books
title: "book" -- named the same as the tag used to define books
text:"""
ISBN: {{!!title}}
Edit ISBN: <$edit field="title" />
<br/>
Authors: <<crazyListHere "authors" "author">>
<br/>
Publisher: <$select field="publisher"><option value=""> -- </option><$list
filter="[tag[publisher]]"><option value=<<currentTiddler>> >
<<currentTiddler>> </option></$list></$select>
<br/>
My random ramblings: <$edit field="text" />
<br/>
My Review: <$edit-text tag="textarea" field="review" />
<br/>
Plot synopsis: <$edit-text tag="textarea" field="synopsis" />
"""
Code a dashboard
================================
title: "Book Dashboard"
text: """
Add a book: <$edit-text tag="input" tiddler="$:/temp/newbook" />
<$button>
Add book
<$action-setfield $field="currentbook" $value={{$:/temp/newbook}} />
<$action-setfield $tiddler={{$:/temp/newbook}} $field="tags"
$value="book" />
<$action-setfield $tiddler="$:/temp/newbook" $field="text" $value="" />
</$button>
Select a book to edit:
<$select field="currentbook">
<option value=""> -- </option>
<$list filter="[tag[book]]" variable="Current_Book" emptyMessage="""
<option value=""> There are no books available </option>
""">
<option value=<<Current_Book>> >
<<Current_Book>>
</option>
</$list>
</$select>
<$tiddler tiddler={{!!currentbook}} >
<$transclude tiddler="book" />
</$tiddler>
