Vladimir,
It is worth looking at other implementations before you start, here are
some hard won lessons that may or may not yet make sense to you. However
you seem on track.
- A single tiddler for every person (YES)
- tagged `person` or 'contact' (because what if you document a
business?)
- Data stored in fields eg Phone/Address etc...
- text field shows the data stored in fields in nice way (*Do not do
this see below*) keep text for free form notes about your
person/contact
- How would I go about creating a "template" for such a tiddler - the
easy way is to create one with fields etc.. no values and clone it,
otherwise you can build a button that creates a new one with the required
fields
- How to implement required/optional fields?
- A single data tiddler for every person - *I would not unless
your contacts where in the thousands, and then probably not. Its much
easier to tag anything with a person, to relate it to that person(s)*
*Displaying the values in the fields of a contact*
Create a tiddler "DisplayContact" that references each of the fields as if
it was a contact tiddler and tag it with $:/tags/ViewTemplate
use the {{$:/tags/ViewTemplate||$:/core/ui/TagTemplate}} drag and drop to
order where they display
Only display the content if it is in fact a contact
eg
<$list filter="[is[current]tag[contact]]" valiable="null">
{{!!firstname}} {{!!lastname}}<br>
{{!!address1}}
{{!!address2}}
</$list>
Editing fields can be done in edit mode without any complexity but smarter
options are available.
I have just designed a method I may publish soon. But lets help when you
get there.
Regards
Tony
