Equivalent of 'count' filter for TW Classic?

#1

I have a legacy TW Classic installation at v.2.8.1. Is there an equivalent of the TW5 ‘count’ filter for TW Classic?

To get the number of items matched by a filter in TWClassic, you can resort to a snippet of javascript code, like this:

<script>
return store.filterTiddlers("...").length.toString();
</script>

Note that this requires installation of my TiddlyTools JavascriptPlugin:

Note also that filters in TWClassic are extremely limited and only support the following syntax:

  • match literal tiddler titles:
    • TiddlerName or [[Tiddler Name]]
  • match tags:
    • [tag[tagtext]]
  • sort
    • [sort[created]]or [sort[modified]]
  • limit
    • [limit[number]]
  • field
    • [field[fieldname,value]]

This works well - thanks Eric!
