Hi Tony,
As usual, I left out a couple of important details. I'm using the tiddler
referencing {{!!month}} as a template so pulling the field from the current
tiddler is my intention. I'm trying to get around having to explicitly
include the tiddler title in the fieldname reference (don't want to use
{{October!!month}}).
Adding a little more detail, my tiddler looks like this:
<$macrocall $name="my-calendar"
year={{$:/tdg/vars/calendar-schoolyear-startyear!!year}} month=10/>
!! Reports Due This Month
<div class="twocolumns">
<div class="twocolumns-col">
<$macrocall $name="custom-links" monthtag=October sorttype=<<cal-sort-type>>
sortby=day/>
</div>
</div>
</div>
I want to use this template in 12 tiddlers, one for each month, which will
then be viewed in a separate tiddler via the tabs macro. I'm trying to get
around the having to manually change the month number (10 in the example
above) and month tag (October in the example above) in each of the 12 month
tiddlers. Generally speaking, I would have other uses for this type of
abstraction as well, but can't get it to work.
If I use a field reference ({{!!month}}, for example) insead of the
explicit month number/tag, it works fine in the tiddler, but breaks in the
tabs tiddler.
I've tried various set widget combos and macros but can't get it to work.
Thanks,
Brian
