I'm currently trying to link a tiddler's field to a DataTiddler (dictionary
tiddler). My (semi) working prototype has a SelectWidget pulling up a list
of Tiddlers. When one is selected, its fields are displayed. The title of
the current displayed tiddler is stored in a field inside the viewer
tiddler. One of these fields is codified (to save time when editing this
type of tiddler & to save time in case of field codification changes). This
field key values are stored in a Dictionary Data Tiddler. My goal is to
display the value of the field instead of its stored key.
I use two macros to do so :
- To retrieve the key to look for 'in the data tiddler) stored in the
target tiddler
\define targetKey() <$transclude tiddler={{!!myTarget}} field="keyField"/>
- I have a second macro that'll look for the value to be displayed in my
Data Tiddler
\define myDataMacro(var:0) <$transclude tiddler="$:/data/dataExample" index=
$var$/>
- I globaly use them using a MacroCallWidget
<$macrocall $name="myDataMacro" var=<<targetKey>>/>
- My Data Tiddler has currently these test values
0:White1:Green2:Blue3:Orange4:Red5:Yellow
My issue is the values aren't displayed. It should display the value
associated with the correct key, e.g. : when I try it to select a test
tiddler having "1" (without the quotes) as value for the *keyField* field,
instead of displaying *Green *it displays its value *1.*
Using the MacroCallWidget without specifying the *var *variable displays
correctly the default value set in the *myDataMacro. *Using a key instead
of the sub-macro displays it's value correctly.
