Mohammad,
Give this example of yours I currently use another pattern for something
similar. So I thought It a good time to share.
\define display(template)
<$set name=template value="$template$" emptyValue=
"$:/plugins/kookma/timelines/templates/gilan" variable=null>
<$transclude tiddler=<<templateTiddler>> mode=block/>
</$set>
\end
Not tested
Some points
- Use emptyValue to set the value of a variable for which no parameter
was supplied
- See how I use the same name as the parameter when making the variable
- Use with variable=null because you do not need it and the containing
tiddler remains the currentTiddler
I am still at a lost to know how to do the equivalent of the following with
the transclude widget
{{tiddlername}}
Vs
{{||tiddlername}}
Other ideas
- I almost always write my macros to operate on <<currentTiddler>> so
they are more reusable.
- I like an idea I think you suggested to pass as a parameter a macro
name you then execute
I also like to develop macros that you pass a filter to, code snipit;
\define display(filter)
<$set name=filter value="$filter$" emptyValue="a default filter">
<$set name=input value={{{ $filter$ }}} emptyValue="a default">
<$list filter=<<filter>> ....
</$list>
<$transclude tiddler=<<templateTiddler>> mode=block/>
</$set></$set>
\end
<<display"afilter">>
Once again this makes such macros much more reusable.
Regards
Tony
