Here is a little script I have been using "forever" (10 years or
more?) to link a todo list field to another substack.
Button "Make Link"
on mouseup
makelink
end mouseup
# be sure to set the "traversalOn" of this button to "false" this
will allow you to select text in a field, and then clicking the
button does not wipe out your selection.
on makeLink
if the selection is empty then
answer "You need to select something." with "OK"
exit makeLink
else
put the selection into jai
set the textstyle of the selection to link
open stack "Linked Entries"
if exists (card jai) then
exit makeLink
else
new card
put jai into fld "Subject"
set the name of this card to fld "subject"
send upDateIndex to stack "linked Entries"
# updates an index card with hyper links to all card in the whole stack
end if
end if
end makeLink
# then in the "toDo" list field you have these things:
on mouseDown
if controlkey()="Down" then
set the locktext of the target to true
set the traversalOn of the target to false
choose browse tool
end if
end mouseDown
on mouseup
if optionkey()="Down" then
set the locktext of the target to false
set the traversalOn of the target to true
else
pass mouseup
end if
end mouseup
on linkClicked tSubject
findLinkedItems tSubject
put tSubject into gLastLink
end linkClicked
# and more in the stack script:
on findLinkedItems tSubject
open stack "Linked Entries"
go to cd tSubject
if the result is not empty then
answer "No entries for this one. Make a new one? " with "No" or
"Yes"
if it = "no" then
close wd "linked Entries"
set the locktext of the target to false
exit findLinkedItems
else
open stack "Linked Entries"
new card
put tSubject into fld "Subject"
set the name of this card to fld "subject"
end if
end if
end findLinkedItems
then your substack has cards with
fld "subject"
fld "notes"
And those cards have the same MakeLink button and the fld "notes"
has the same script as the main stack todo list.
Now you have global hyperlinking from a toDo list and from any
specific toDo card entry to any other toDo card entry.
I've been using this "core" for my PIM for probably 15 years...
(since Hypercard, through Supercard and now in Revolution)
with an number of other bells and whistles (global find, calendar,
reminder system etc) I have a PIM that tops anything else that has
ever come down the pike... iData and iOrganize etc. all those
things just never quite "do it" for me... they are all just too
"demanding" in terms of time they take just to stay organized. I
suspect other xTalk sages have even more advanced PIM's...
by the makeLink is are the center...
