So in my TW I have tiddler in which I mention people's names, either in content or in a field. There are separate tiddlers containing information about these people. For example a tiddler's name john would have his contact information, some background information and how I know him personally etc. Usually I create a contact tiddler with all the various fields pre-defined and I just fill in some of them. For example, address, reference, email, phone etc. But sometimes while writing down an event I would mention some new names like [[jane]]. Now what I want is that when I click on [[jane]] from an event tiddler it should create a new contact tiddler with pre defined blank fields. What would be the best way to do it?
I thought on this line: Have an edit tiddler template which checks if a tiddler is tagged as contact. If it is then shows up a button which contains actions which create the relevant fields if not already existing. So then when I click on undefined tiddler [[jane]]. Missing tiddler jane comes up. Go into edit mode to create the tiddler. Tag it as 'contact'. As soon as i add the tag contact the button shows up which I click to add all the relevant fields in one go. I have this template tiddler: \define my-actions() <$action-sendmessage $message="tm-add-field" $param="address"/> <$action-sendmessage $message="tm-add-field" $param="phone"/> <$action-sendmessage $message="tm-add-field" $param="email"/> <$action-sendmessage $message="tm-add-field" $param="reference"/> \end <$list filter="[is[current]tag[contact]]"> <$button actions=<<my-actions>>> Click to add contact fields </$button> </$list> So this system works, but can this be made better? Can I somehow do away with the button and trigger the "tm-add-field" message automatically as soon as the tiddler is tagged contact? or even better create a new contact tiddler with pre defined fields right from the tiddler link in the other tiddler mentioning the person's name? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
