How to dynamically read numbers for `limit` operator in $:/config/EmptyStoryMessage

#1

Doesn’t $:/config/EmptyStoryMessage file support using variables, I tried it but it doesn’t seem to work, I’m making a load more button at the bottom of the story river, example

<!-- use variable, but not work -->
<$set name="a-count" value="{{!!a-count}}">
<!-- some code -->
</$set>

<!-- use global macro -->

{{{ [[GettingStarted]] ||$:/core/ui/ViewTemplate }}}
{{{ [!is[system]field:publish[article]!sort[modified]limit<a-count>] -[[GettingStarted]]||$:/core/ui/ViewTemplate}}}

Keep in mind there is no current tiddler set in the emptyStory, so in your example {{!!a-count}} is getting a field value from the currentTiddler that is not set.

Use the tiddler widget, or also set currentTiddler variable first, such as to $:/config/EmptyStoryMessage or as appropriate.

:tada: It seems to be working fine now

{{{ [[GettingStarted]] ||$:/core/ui/ViewTemplate }}}
<$set name="a-count" value={{{ [[$:/temp/articles/number]get[number]] }}}>

</$set>

<$set name="a-total" value={{{ [field:publish[article]count[]] }}}>
<$set name="a-num" value={{{ [[$:/temp/articles/number]get[number]else[0]add[1]] }}}>
