selectWidget - Multiple and a revealWidget

#1

I have a selectWidget that triggers a revealWidget based on what is in <<qualify $:/state/selectedPlayer>>.

If the selectWidget allows multiple, is it possible to parse the state tiddler and do multiple reveals? Most people often just select themselves for review but I would like to allow selecting another player of the same class and reveal them in a flexgrid for side by side comparison.

Give this example a try on https://TiddlyWiki.com

<$let state=<<qualify $:/state/selectedPlayer>>>
<$select tiddler=<<state>> multiple>
   <$list filter="[tag[HelloThere]]">
      <option><<currentTiddler>></option>
   </$list>
</$select>
<$reveal state=<<state>> type="nomatch" text="" tag="div">
   <$list filter="[<state>get[text]enlist-input[]]">
      <h2><<currentTiddler>></h2>
      <blockquote><$transclude mode="block"/></blockquote>
   </$list>
</$reveal>

Notes:

  • For convenience, state is the qualified tiddler title that holds the selection(s) from the list in its text field
  • In this example, the $select widget shows a list of all tiddlers tagged with HelloThere
  • The $reveal widget is displayed if ANY list items are selected (i.e., text field is not blank)
  • The $reveal widget uses a $list widget to show the title and contents of each of the selected tiddlers

Hopefully this should be enough to get you started in the right direction.

enjoy,

As far as I can see the only reason you ever need to use the reveal widget instead of a list widget is if you want to use popups, or animation.

@john.edw_gmail.com yes you can have multiple reveals, responding to multiple state values. It is irrelevant wether that state changes due to the select widget, checkboxes, or checkboxes and list filed.

  • We can revert to a list widget to do the revealing, rather than a reveal if we need to use a filter, rather than one of the reveals conditions.
    • Perhaps we should as for a filter option on the reveal widget.
