Is there a variable to access the list-tiddler of the list-links-draggable-macro from within an item?

#1

…in case there is not, it would be nice.
For example to make a button to remove the item like in $:/core/ui/SideBar/Open which astonishingly does not make use of the list-links-draggable-macro

#2

The list-lnks-draggable is a macro of convience. You can build your own with widgets and wiki text and take full contol.

I will try and dig up an example.

#3

If the sidebar open tab contains the function you want to have, imo you should use it as an example and modify it to your needs and make a macro out of it.

#4

I need it three times in variations…so I thought it would be great to make use of the macro.
Thus it would be great to have a variable in there to make it even more convenient :wink:

#5

Stupid me, why didn’t I have the Idea to define that variable outside the macro…
I guess the code of $:/core/ui/SideBar/Open could be shorter using that macro and a template instead.

Did you look at list-links-draggable Macro?

Note the itemTemplate parameter
Optional title of a tiddler to use as the template for rendering list items

Create a tiddler newlistitem containing the following which is the current default listitem

<$link to={{!!title}}>
<$let tv-wikilinks="no">
<$transclude field="caption">
<$view field="title"/>

Now when using the list-links-draggable provide your new tiddler in the parameter itemTemplate:"newlistitem"

  • The above just replicates the normal behaviour
  • But now you can edit “newlistitem” to access the current tiddler and it tags and fields and reformat the way the list appears.

Here is an example of something I like to add;

{{||$:/core/ui/Buttons/edit}}
<$link to={{!!title}}>
<$let tv-wikilinks="no">
<$transclude field="caption">
<$view field="title"/>
  • Add an edit button to every item ion the list (not tested today)
