Hello all! New here, and to TiddlyWiki in general. I'm mainly interested in using it as a tool to organize data for a tabletop roleplaying game (Savage Worlds) I will be running. One thing I'm particularly frustrated with achieving is creating a standard template to essentially create a blank copy of a tiddler I've made and already fancied up.
For example, I've made a character template which displays a short summary about the character, and contains a few tabs to pull up relevant information as needed: <<tabs "[[Character_Bio]] [[Character_Stats]] Inventory:" "$:/state/tab1">> The stats tab should contain a table that lists the character's abilities so I can easily reference them. I went with the tabbed approach so the tiddlers didn't take up as much space, and I could possibly avoid scrolling up and down constantly to flip between pieces of information. !!!''STATS:'' |Name: |h |''Attributes:'' |Agility: | Smarts: | Spirit: | Strength: | Vigor: |h |''Skills:'' | |h |Charisma: |Pace: |Parry: |Toughness: |h |Hinderances: | |h |Edges: | |h |Booty: | |h |Gear: | |h Do I need to clone the CharacterTemplate tiddler, set the tags again, make new tiddlers for the tabs, and copy-paste all their information every time? I know there has to be a simpler way to do this, but if it's not obvious already, I have very little experience with web coding and markup. I was really impressed with how the "TW5 for scholars" system was set up, where you could click "Person", fill in some fields, and it made a new Tiddler. I couldn't quite figure out how to modify that for my own purposes though. I have a feeling though, that if I'm not way out of my depth already, mimicking such functionality would be far beyond me... If the tabs part is perhaps too advanced, is there an easy method to just make a new tiddler from a template, filled with variable fields that I can switch up, without trying to create any sub-tiddlers for the tabs? Reading the template tiddler and transclusion documentation over and over didn't help me understand much better in a practical application sense. :( Any nudges in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. (Or just letting me know I should stick to flipping between Google Docs until I learn to code web apps. I'd accept that too. :P ) Thanks in advance! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
