So I have hit another stopping block. one of the things this modal needs to do, is pass a tiddler title that has a transclusion in it. I read a previous post about needing to defer the transclusion, and i believe I have done so.. but it refuses to work.
The first call to the macro works great as i have manually typed in the tiddler title. The second call which uses a {{!!field}} transclusion fails. If i remove the > from the <$action-sendmessage> (i do this a lot as a debug step), The HTML even loks the same between them: * <$action-sendmessage $message="tm-modal" $param="Spell/DnD5e/Animal Friendship" /* Here is the code: \define modal_link(name tiddler) <$macrocall $name="render_modal_link" title="""$name$""" tidd="""$tiddler$"""/> \end \define render_modal_link(title:none tidd:"") <$button> <$action-sendmessage $message="tm-modal" $param="$tidd$" /> $title$ - </$button> \end <<modal_link "Animal Friendship" "Spell/DnD5e/Animal Friendship">> <<modal_link "{{!!slot0}}" "Spell/DnD5e/{{!!slot0}}">> On Saturday, July 22, 2017 at 1:41:31 PM UTC-4, Eric Shulman wrote: > > On Saturday, July 22, 2017 at 9:38:45 AM UTC-7, myst...@gmail.com wrote: >> >> I saw a similar post addressing this for $variable$ types. >> My problem is that i am using <$set> w/ a filter to get the tiddler >> title based on a name passed to it, which restricts me to the <<variable>> >> usage. >> The below macro works great if the title passed is a single word such as >> 'Alarmed'. the modal will pop up w/ the tiddler. >> If i pass a mult-word title such as "Alarmed and Dangerous" the modal >> will fail. >> >> \define modal_link(title:none) >> <$set name="tit" value=$title$> >> > > Put quotes around $title$, like this: > > <$set name="tit" value="$title$"> > > the $param$ syntax is a *lexical subtitution* done upon entry to the > macro.
