Hi, I wrote this code the other day, and it got me thinking about different ways to use the tag field wondering how useful it might be to others. The challenge was to populate a list field, to give access to certain filters that use list. So what it does is basically creates a list field in a tiddler that consists of all tiddlers tagged with a specified tag. Probably not that earth shattering.
<$vars thisTiddler="IllustrationsPlay" thisTag="Illustrations"> List of <<thisTiddler>><br> <$view field="list" tiddler=<<thisTiddler>>/><hr> <$button> Add all tiddlers tagged ''<<thisTag>>'' to the list field of the tiddler < <thisTiddler>> <$action-listops $tiddler=<<thisTiddler>> $field="list" $filter="[tag <thisTag>]"/> </$button> </$vars> I wanted to help a student generate a way to present, in order, a set of tiddlers, and the student had used tags to identify the tiddlers of interest. It seemed that he would have been better off with a list field, but I couldn't quite articulate why, so I wrote this script. Perhaps someone might have a better explanation of the differences / advantages of using tags vs. list fields? I find myself a bit confused on this point.
