The parameter for the append[...] list-ops filter expects a *list* of 
values to add.  As a result, spaces are treated as separators between 
individual tags "Drop" and "Zone".

Try using the insertbefore[...] filter instead: 
http://tiddlywiki.com/#insertbefore%20Operator.  As noted in the 
documentation, if you do not specify the "B" (before) tiddler as a suffix, 
the new value is added to the *end* of the list.  Something like this:

<$action-listops $tiddler=<> $tags="+[insertbefore<
currentTiddler>]"/>

Let me know how it goes.

2017-07-16 Thread 'mervin mecklenburg' via TiddlyWiki
 

I'm still struggling with this. I tried your suggestion, but the 
"Insertbefore" is not giving me a return.

Here is a copy of the relevant code using the listbefore operand:

\define droppable-projectnotes() <$action-listtops 
$tiddler=<> $tags="+[insertbefore] \end 
<$droppable 
actions=<>>{{$:/core/images/copy-clipboard}}AddProjectNotes
 

I as not able to find any examples in the documentation of the listbefore 
operand being used. Perhaps I am missing something.

Do you have any suggestions. I appreciate all of the suggestions I get from 
this forum, and I find much in this forum helpful.

Merv

[tw] Re: Dropzone issue

2017-07-16 Thread Thomas Elmiger
Hi Merv

Here’s an example how I use action listops for something similar:

I use the same button to add and remove tags by either specifying the tag in 
the attribute "add" or in "remove".

In a $set widget I define a variable called "subfilter" that puts double 
brackets around the tag to add/remove. 


\define 
teBtnTagAddRemove(btntext,add:"_false_",remove:"_false_",class:"",tiddler:"_false_")
<$vars tiddler="""$tiddler$""" btnclass="te-popup-action $class$" 
add="""$add$""" remove="""$remove$""">
<$set name="actiontid" filter="[!prefix[_false_]]" value=<> 
emptyValue=<>>
<$set name="subfilter" filter="[!prefix[_false_]]" value="[[$add$]]" 
emptyValue="-[[$remove$]]">
<$wikify name="at" text=<>>
<$button class=<>>
<$action-listops $tiddler=<> $field="tags" $subfilter=<>/>
   <$text text="""$btntext$""">





\end

I have removed some additional complexity not relevant for your case, I hope 
you get the main part. 

Maybe this helps. 

Cheers,
Thomas

some possible reasons it's not working:

1) TYPO
   "$action-listtops" should be "$action-listops" (one "t")
2) SYNTAX
   "\end" is only needed for multi-line macro definitions (where the \end 
occurs on a line by itself)

let me know if that makes any difference
