The Amazing PasteUp of @EricShulman

[TiddlyTitch]

@EricShulman

I’d put the code into a separate tiddler (e.g., “SetBingoSquare”)
and then put {{SetBingoSquare}} into each /Actions field.

Thanks! I will do that!

UPDATE: Did it. And quickly made a second PasteUp TWingo card …

@EricShulman

to set new styles for that field, you could write something like this:

<$action-setfield $tiddler={{{ [<currentPasteUp>addsuffix[/Styles]] }}}
   $field=<<currentField>> $value="..."/>

@EricShulman

Instead of entering that syntax into each /Actions field, I’d put the code into a separate tiddler (e.g., “SetBingoSquare”)
and then put {{SetBingoSquare}} into each /Actions field.

I wanted to comment how easy & quick it can be.

I am already changing /Actions on an action.

For instance on first click of a “field” …

{{match-num.act}} has actions to …
(1) change /Styles field by inserting styling for the number.
(2) change /Actions field and insert reference to {{unmatch-num.act}}

On second click of a “field” …

{{unmatch-num.act}} has actions to …
(1) change /Styles field by removing any styles present
(2) change /Actions field and insert reference to {{match-num.act}}

Result? A simple efficient toggle on styling.

I do hope the potential of PasteUp is realized by more than @EricShulman and me …

It could be a full-on Scatman …

UPDATE: I should have made clear that John “Scatman” Larkin was a late starter suffering from stuttering.

A fascinating person. Those interested see a short doc.

Lots of improvements to TiddlyTools/PasteUp, TiddlyTools/PasteUp/Edit, TiddlyTools/PasteUp/View:

• FIXED: an error in the Toolbox “move” buttons was inadvertently changing the moved field height/width. This has been corrected.

• field styles now allow use of CSS classnames (in addition to the usual CSS attributes):

  • CSS classnames must be listed after all CSS attributes. This is similar to the way the TWCore processes the inline “@@” syntax (see Styles and Classes in WikiText)
  • each CSS attribute must end with a “;” (e.g., border:1px solid red;)
  • each CSS classname must start with a “.” (e.g., .myClass)
  • unlike the TWCore’s @@ syntax, PasteUp attributes and classnames can be separated by optional whitespace (including newlines) for better readability.

• field table value and style controls now “auto-expand” to use multi-line textarea controls when they receive the focus. Note that they appear as a single line until you either enter a literal newline into the content or the content word-wraps when it exceeds the available input width.

• the selected field in the Toolbox panel is now automatically set whenever you interact with a field in the grid or put the focus in any field table input control (value, layout, or styles). This makes it much easier to adjust a field that you’ve just edited using the layout grid or field table.

• you can now drag-and-drop “foreign” fields (i.e., fields from another PasteUp tiddler):

  • dropping a foreign field in the empty space above the field table “imports” that field definition (name,layout,styles,actions) into the current PasteUp.
  • dropping a foreign field on a field table name asks if you want to replace that “target” field’s value with the dropped fields value but retains the layout,styles,actions of the target field. Note that this also works when dropping a “local” field name onto another local field name.
  • dropping a “foreign” field onto the field grid “imports” it’s name,styles,actions, and places it in the grid square or the grid’s current highlighed “selection”.

enjoy,

Whoa! And the inter-PasteUp D&D of “fields” is a super-powerful feature!

I’ve made a small update to TiddlyTools/PasteUp/Edit:

In the layout grid:

• single-clicking on a field sets the Toolbox to that field
• double-clicking on a field opens the modal editor

This change makes it much easier to use the Toolbox for making adjustments to field layouts: you no longer need to pick the desired field from the Toolbox droplist. Instead, you can just click the desired field in the layout, and then immediately use the Toolbox controls to adjust that field.

Very good update. One Click Field Activation increases productivity a lot! …
