cmari, Thanks, That is exactly what I wanted to know. I found these macros in the view/edit template tiddlers and wondered if they were valid in tiddlers and really wanted to use them, as demonstrated by you I can.
I can see that the parameter passed is using a value tiddler.text.contains("test") which is a java style conditional ? or literal (single quotes) to pass the tag. Now I just need to learn what these parameter options are available to me and I can apply them to all the macros I find in the view edit templates. These are I believe all but essential features to a fully adaptable TiddlyWiki. Thanks for your help. So all I have to do now is get to understand these parameter formats and what each macro demands. TonyM If you have not found an easy way to do it with TiddlyWiki, you have missed something. www.tiddlywiki.com On Thu, Aug 27, 2009 at 00:40, cmari <cema...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi Tony, > I'm not sure if I understood what you're looking for exactly so please > try again if I didn't get it! > > You can use those macros inside a tiddler, with all sorts of > conditions about the tiddler itself (including the existence of a > custom field, like testfield below): > <<showWhen tiddler.text.contains("test")>>+++[open][close]I want to > see this because it includes the word test=== > <<hideWhen tiddler.fields.testfield>>some text here that I only want > to see when there's not a testfield > <<showWhenTagged 'testtag'>><<tiddler [[myOtherTiddler]]>> > > cmari > On Aug 4, 8:58 pm, Anthony Muscio <anthony.mus...@gmail.com> wrote: > > If some one with expierence on this could please assist. > > > > In the view and edit templates we can use commands such as; > > showWhenTagged > > hideWhenTaggedhideWhen > > showWhen > > showWhenExists > > > > etc... > > > > and perhaps other 'macros' such as > > hideWhenExists > > > > ToggleTag > > > > These may be in the core or in my tiddlywiki as a result of MPTW. > > > > Is there a generic rule how we can use these macros inside our > > tiddlers ? > > > > If not generic can the above ones be used ? > > > > How do we delineate what is shown or hidden in a tiddler if rather > > than the "true" including an external tiddler we want it to open a > > slider or other section in out tiddler. > > > > Thanks for any ideas at all. > > > > TonyM > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
