To preface, I know that ‘template’ has a specific meaning in TiddlyWiki but here I am using it in the generic sense; a ‘baseline copy’ to expand upon.
Greetings TiddlyUsers,
I was curious if anyone had a solution for “Deep Copies” or “Templates” in the streams plugin.
Since streams uses a series of hierarchical tiddlers related to one-another via “hard-coded” fields; if I clone a ‘parent’ streams tiddler than it’s a shallow copy with all of the copies rendered children being references / transclusions of the original parent’s children.
My desired workflow is this:
Manually create a stream/node hierarchy with some content / scaffolding:
StreamsTemplate
- This is my data
- Data heading one
- todo: put data here
- Data heading two
- todo: put other data here
- Data heading one
etc
And then be able to do a hard copy of that where it will dynamically generate all the parent-child field relationships and such under the new name.
Also, there is probably a much more non-streams “TiddlyWiki” solution to this, like using a generic tiddler setup with it’s body having the format I want that transcludes it’s own field-values, and then creating ‘children’ that transclude that original tiddler but display their own field-values instead of the parent’s, but I just wondered if anyone had played around with the streams workflow mentioned above.
As always, thanks for your time and consideration!
