[tw] Re: ListboxPlugin: branching or "sub" lists to select from?
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? -Dave On Jun 3, 3:13 pm, Dave Parker wrote: > Thank you! > > On Jun 3, 2:58 pm, Eric Shulman wrote: > > > > I'm using the ListboxPlugin and quite like it.

Although the items in the list cannot opened/closed like a true 'tree view' display, you can add one or more leading " " characters to selected list items to give them an indented *appearance*, like this: head face=face frontal=frontal temporal=temporal parietal=parietal shoulder AC joint=AC joint GH joint=GH joint clavical=clavical 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, -e --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
