[tw] Re: ListboxPlugin: branching or sub lists to select from?

2009-06-03 Thread Eric Shulman

 I'm using the ListboxPlugin and quite like it.  I'm starting to make
 tiddlers with the lists of items to select from and some of them are
 getting quite long.  Is there any way to structure those lists in a
 branching or sub-menu way?

Although the items in the list cannot opened/closed like a true 'tree
view' display, you can add one or more leading nbsp; characters to
selected list items to give them an indented *appearance*, like this:

head
nbsp; face=face
nbsp; frontal=frontal
nbsp; temporal=temporal
nbsp; parietal=parietal
shoulder
nbsp; AC joint=AC joint
nbsp; GH joint=GH joint
nbsp; clavical=clavical
nbsp; medial scapula=medial scapula

By using the label=value syntax, the labels displayed in the list
will include the indentation, while the actual values returned by
selecting those items will not.

enjoy,

One interesting thing I discovered (for anyone else following along)
is that you can have different listboxes in the same tiddler that have
the same fieldname - that works to the same purpose too.

When you pick valueX from +template3 (lets say you also refer to
+template1 and +template2 in two other listboxes e.g.), the same
value is displayed as other: valueX in the other two listboxes (even
if allowOther is not included in the macro), and the value of the
customfield itself is valueX.  That's pretty neat!


and now for something a little different...

Here's another idea that might make sense... what if you had an option
called add that was like other and edit list combined.  In other
words, you pick that and a text box opens like with other and then
it adds the entry to the end of the list in the source tiddler.  Would
that be desirable or easy to do?
