How? New from current + custom text

#1

Hi everyone

Quick experiment for which I need a fix: I want a new button to place in $:/language/MissingTiddler/Hint, that creates three tiddlers at once:

Let’s say the missing tiddler title is Thomas Jefferson. Clicking the button would create three tiddlers:

  1. Thomas Jefferson (<$action-sendmessage $message="tm-new-tiddler" title=<<currentTiddler>> />)
  2. Thomas Jefferson, sources read
  3. Thomas Jefferson, sources unread

What would I put so that it grabs <> but adds , sources read and , sources unread to the title?

You can give this a try:

<$button tooltip=“create tiddlers”>
<$action-sendmessage $message="tm-new-tiddler" title=<<currentTiddler>> />
<$action-sendmessage $message="tm-new-tiddler" title={{{ [<currentTiddler>addsuffix[, sources read]] }}} />
<$action-sendmessage $message="tm-new-tiddler" title={{{ [<currentTiddler>addsuffix[, sources unread]] }}} />
create tiddlers for <<currentTiddler>>
</$button>

Thanks Brian!

Next question: is there something I can add so that all three of these are saved rather than left open in edit mode?

Sure, use the ActionCreateTiddler widget instead of the ActionSendMessage widget

https://tiddlywiki.com/#ActionCreateTiddlerWidget

<$action-createtiddler $basetitle=<<currentTiddler>> />

<$action-createtiddler $basetitle={{{ [<currentTiddler>addsuffix[, read source]] }}} />

<$action-createtiddler $basetitle={{{ [<currentTiddler>addsuffix[, unread source]] }}} />

…oops Mark beat me to the punch in another thread while I was away.

Yeah, you dropped the ball and others had to cover for you :laughing:
