Todolist question filter question

#1

Hi,

I am using todolist , i have a Todolist for every tiddler , so in my template i have the below

<<interstitial-ui caption:"" width:"" base:"$(currentTiddler)$">>

This gives me a new unique Todlist that i can use to store notes for any particular Tiddler

is there away to display the notes that belong to a Tiddler Other than the current Tiddler?

what i want to do is have one central Tiddler (notes tiddler)where i can store all my notes , and display them in which ever tiddler i need using a custom field

so if i have TiddlerA and TiddlerB

If TiddlerA has a custom field called notesfield with value “TiddlerB” , then i would see the notes for TiddlerB , where i can view and edit the notes

i guess what i am trying to say is that i dont want todolist to default to the current tiddler for viewing a todloist , i want to controll that using a field

is that possible ?

hope that makes sense

ok,

i think i know what my problem is , how do i replace this bit "$(currentTiddler)$", with something that refrences a customer field ,what is the syntax to use ,"${{!!fieldx}}"$ does not work

As you can see from the manual (https://kookma.github.io/TW-Todolist/#Todolist%20Tutorial)
The important input parameter is base!

<<todolist-ui caption:"" width:"" base:"">>

So, if you use base:“myTid” it uses

$:/todolist/data/priority/mytid
$:/todolist/data/state/mytid
$:/todolist/data/status/mytid
$:/todolist/data/tasks/mytid

for storing different pieces of information.

You can call todolist for any base in any tiddler! Only note to use the correct base!

thank you mohammad,

and for the base input parameter , can it be replaced with a dynamic value ? because i want to use a field value , and not a static one

Yes, you can. In TW 5.3.5 I use format like below

<$transclude $variable="todolist-ui" caption="some text" width="" base=... />

Example for dynamic values:

base=<<currentTiddler>> ← the base is the title of currentTiddler
base={{{ [<currendTiddler>addsuffix[-notes]] }}} ← get basename from a filter
base={{$:/config/mybase}} ← this tiddler, keeps the basename in the text field
