How to do a "clone" of $:/core/ui/Buttons/more-page-actions

1

I apologize for the question which I think is quite stupid, but I’m puzzled. Currently I have too many buttons in the page toolbar, so I thought of making a couple of clones of $:/core/ui/Buttons/more-page-actions so as to have all the functionalities well ordered, but without taking up too much space.

So I started by taking $:/core/ui/Buttons/more-page-actions and making a copy. And I thought, I change the filter that is to find the content of $:/core/ui/Buttons/more-page-actions and put my own to find the buttons I want in that, for example a filter like [tag[MoreActions2]].

Now, this didn’t quite work out as well as I’d hoped. But, and here I’m puzzled, for some reason the same filter worked at some point with one of the buttons I wanted to tag (I don’t know why and I unfortunately haven’t been able to replicate it). I could change my approach, but since I think I’ve glimpsed the solution (and because at the moment I have no idea how to do it any other way), I thought I’d ask.

  • Changing the filter in a way like this would work? (Exactly as I wrote it I’m afraid not because I already tried it and it doesn’t work, but I mean, in a similar way to that) Or is it better to try another way?

The piece of code in question (where I would change the filter and nothing else):
Before:
<$list filter="[all[shadows+tiddlers]tag[$:/tags/PageControls]!has[draft.of]] -[[$:/core/ui/Buttons/more-page-actions]]" variable="listItem">
After:
<$list filter="[tag[MoreActions2]!has[draft.of]]" variable="listItem">

Full code of $:/core/ui/Buttons/more-page-actions, for reference:

\whitespace trim
\define config-title()
$:/config/PageControlButtons/Visibility/$(listItem)$
\end
<$button popup=<<qualify "$:/state/popup/more">> tooltip={{$:/language/Buttons/More/Hint}} aria-label={{$:/language/Buttons/More/Caption}} class=<<tv-config-toolbar-class>> selectedClass="tc-selected">
<$list filter="[<tv-config-toolbar-icons>match[yes]]">
{{$:/core/images/down-arrow}}
</$list>
<$list filter="[<tv-config-toolbar-text>match[yes]]">
<span class="tc-btn-text">
<$text text={{$:/language/Buttons/More/Caption}}/>
</span>
</$list>
</$button><$reveal state=<<qualify "$:/state/popup/more">> type="popup" position="below" animate="yes">

<div class="tc-drop-down">

<$set name="tv-config-toolbar-icons" value="yes">

<$set name="tv-config-toolbar-text" value="yes">

<$set name="tv-config-toolbar-class" value="tc-btn-invisible">

<$list filter="[all[shadows+tiddlers]tag[$:/tags/PageControls]!has[draft.of]] -[[$:/core/ui/Buttons/more-page-actions]]" variable="listItem">

<$reveal type="match" state=<<config-title>> text="hide">

<$set name="tv-config-toolbar-class" filter="[<tv-config-toolbar-class>] [<listItem>encodeuricomponent[]addprefix[tc-btn-]]">

<$transclude tiddler=<<listItem>> mode="inline"/>

</$set>

</$reveal>

</$list>

</$set>

</$set>

</$set>

</div>

</$reveal>

I am building buttons at the moment and they are foremost in my mind, what you are asking for is a good generic solution, so perhaps I will just make one and share, rather than respond to your particular code?

  • Is that OK?
    • You can then examine my tiddlers
    • I have already done this once for page controls and multiple times for the view template.

Here is a package that provides an even more Pages Control AND View Tool bar button which you can add and remove what appears with a tag;

See Control Panel > Appearance > Toolbars

even-more-buttons.json (12.0 KB)

  • Rigorous testing has not being done
  • Comments and feedback appreciated.

The included tiddlers $:/PSaT/Buttons/even-more/page-actions and $:/PSaT/Buttons/even-more/tiddler-actions are examples to support the Original Topic OT. They we cloned from existing more buttons and modified.

Sorry for the late response. That wasn’t exactly what I was asking for, but maybe I can find something better in what you gave me. Thank you. I’ll take a look and see what I can do

:ok_hand:t2:

I don’t know what feedback to give because, really, it’s perfect. Really good (and btw solves my issue perfectly, thanks)

Edit:
Looking again there’s actually a flaw: I can’t change the order inside the dropdown, no matter the order in the manager

The order depends usually with the tag, select the tag pill on one of the items and drag and drop reorder.

  • If the dropdown is not responding we need to ensure it is NOT Sorting.

I may be off line this weekend
