Hi all,
I’m having a small issue with a macro that I’ve written that I cannot figure out (code below).
This macro is to create a tiddler representing a newspaper article. I have several edit-text widgets for inputs and a button to create the tiddler. Everything works fine with the only exception being the title of the tiddler.
For example, in trying to create an article for the Las Animas, Colorado Leader for Friday, June 4, 1875, page 2, I get for the title
(1875-06-04)
instead of what I intend which is
Las Animas, Colorado Leader, Friday, 1875-06-04, page 4
The description field works just fine and if I change the name of the new tiddler to the description it works just fine. There’s something about the new tiddler title that I’m tyring to create that isn’t working right and I can’t quite figure out what it is. It’s probably pretty obvious and maybe I’ve stared at it too long.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
