Re: [tw] how to create a dropdown field in TW5 based on the contents of another tiddler?

Hi Josh

As far as the hangouts are concerned, Google seems to really have two
somewhat separate products: Hangouts, and Hangouts on Air. The former is
basically browser-based group video chat; one downloads a native browser
plugin to make it work. It takes your feed from the built in video camera
(or from a screenshare, which is jolly useful). It shows everyone as
thumbnails and then reasonably intelligently switches the larger view
between the people who are talking.

Then Hangouts on Air is the ability to live stream these chat sessions, and
have them automatically recorded to YouTube.

Looking at your question to Dylan about Bestrew hardens my resolve to make
it so that we can use whitespace within templates...

Best wishes

Jeremy.

Re: [tw] how to create a dropdown field in TW5 based on the contents of another tiddler?

[Dylan Kinnett]

Josh,

I'm interested in your project as well so let me try to explain how/what 
I've learned to make this example.

The classes that I borrowed for my table were already a part of the 
HTML/CSSstructure of TiddlyWiki5. I found them when I looked at the info view 
for 
a Tiddler, and inspected the markup that makes the table that appears 
there. Since I'm unsure yet how to add custom CSS, I was happy to see that 
there were already some classes in place to style my tables in a way that 
works out for me. Here's a more carefully formatted example. As you can see 
here, there are really only 4 classes at work here. One is for the table, 
one for each row, and within a row: one for cells on the left, and one for 
cells on the right. So far as I can tell, these classes have nothing to do 
with the behavior of TiddlyWiki data, etc. They are strictly for 
presentational/design purposes. For example the class .tw-view-field-tablegives 
the table a width of 100%. Your table will work just fine without the 
use of any of these classes at all. If you want new styles, you can make 
new classes and style them with CSS, although as I said I haven't yet tried 
that.

Here's a cleaner example of what I'm doing in the the SUBMISSION tiddler:

table class=tw-view-field-table
 tbody
   tr class=tw-view-field
 td class=tw-view-field-nameLeft Cell/td
 td class=tw-view-field-valueRight Cell/td
   /tr
 /tbody
/table

 Hi Jeremy


Thanks for your reply. 

1. Thanks for explaining the two google hangout products. 

2. I am not sure what you mean by *using whitespace in templates?*However I 
love the sound of *...Hardens 
My Resolve.* 

It always works out very well for all TW5 users. Thanks for all the great 
functionality you keep adding to TW5 and your continual help. 

*Looking at your question to Dylan about Bestrew hardens my resolve to

 Right,

Re: [tw] how to create a dropdown field in TW5 based on the contents of another tiddler?

[Josh]

Hi Dylan, 

I really appreciate your response and all the responses before you. This is 
a great community filled with lots of people who are willing to help. 

I will definitely listen to the hangout. I am curious as to how the hangout 
works actually, does everyone use a webcam and record themselves and the 
someone stitch the feeds together using software so we can see the person 
who is talking. I am not very familiar with the Hangouts feature of Google 
Plus+.

Can you explain this code. For example, in it you refer to different 
classes, such as table class=tw-view-field-table, td 
class=tw-view-field-value, and td class=tw-view-field-name, and  
class=btn-invisible btn-dropdown 

1. Where can I find out more about these different classes and how to use 
them? I would like to implement something similar to bestrew using TW5 to 
manage change requests made by people.

table class=tw-view-field-table tbody tr class=tw-view-field td 
class=tw-view-field-name ID /td td class=tw-view-field-value

td class=tw-view-field-name Venue /td td

type=date/$edit-text /td /tr /tbody /table

This entry is a skeleton. It represents an example of a single 
''submission''. It is also the template for creating new records of this 
type, described by the various fields. To change the data you want to 
record for each entry of this type, edit the fields associated with this 
skeleton, but be careful. The index list is currently built around these 
default fields. Editing the fields will only change the fields available 
for ''new'' entries, so it's best to make such changes early.

Re: [tw] how to create a dropdown field in TW5 based on the contents of another tiddler?

[Dylan Kinnett]

The discussion in the hangout video was helpful for me to understand how 
the current functionality for dropdowns is working. I think I'm able to 
take a crack at building my own, now.

I am still curious about the possibility of a combo box as discussed in 
the hangout. Is that a feature that is planned or has it been formally 
requested?

Thanks Jeremy,

Hi Josh

This is a great topic to discuss at the next hangout on Tuesday, I've made
a note on the event page to remind me:

Re: [tw] how to create a dropdown field in TW5 based on the contents of another tiddler?

[Dylan Kinnett]

Unfortunately, I'm unable to attend the hangouts due to scheduling conflict 
but I am definitely interested in this idea.

For my application, I have submissions which relate to works and to 
venues.  A dropdown I would use would show, for example, all the names of 
works currently entered. That alone would be useful, but additionally, if 
possible, it would be very helpful to present the user with a 
ComboBoxhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combo_box. 
The combo part would allow for both the creation of a new works entry, 
along with the insertion of its name in the related field in the submission 
entry.
