OMG.. I can't believe I'm about to write this... "RTFM" !!!! As you should know by now, along with my prolific code writing skills, I generally write pretty thorough *documentation* for my plugins. And this case is no exception: http://www.tiddlytools.com/#SliceGridPluginInfo The "Usage" section clearly spells out the allowable <<sliceGrid>> macro syntax: ---------------------- <<sliceGrid [[tags:tag tag...]] [[slices:slice slice...]] inline wikify edit all cliplength verbose>> ---------------------- Furthermore, in the description of the [[slices:...]] parameter it states prominently in bold type: ---------------------- If a slice name begins with "=" (equal sign), then it will be handled as a custom tiddler field reference, rather than a slice reference. ---------------------- and, in the Examples section: ---------------------- <<sliceGrid inline wikify edit tags:systemConfig [[slices:Version =modifier =changecount]]>> ---------------------- (which demonstrates using a combination of slices ("Version") and fields ("=modifier" and "=changecount"). It seems to me that the above Usage and Examples should be enough... however, despite my best efforts to describe and demonstrate the needed syntax, my documentation is, apparently, not being effective. :- ( It shouldn't be necessary for me to provide *individual* explanations of general syntax and usage when I have tried to present that information "up front" for everyone to read. Of course, no documentation is perfect, and occasional problems with complex use- cases or plugin bugs (gasp!) typically require direct assistance -- which I'm happy to provide -- but that should be the exception, rather than the rule. Perhaps it is because English is not your first language. Or maybe you are simply so excited by the new plugin features that you want to try them right away, without reading the instructions. Or maybe my style of documentation is too abstruse for non-programmers? Or maybe you just didn't read it (hence the admonition, "RTFM!") Regardless, I'd really like to understand the *origins* of your persistent confusion. If I can understand where you are getting lost, it might suggest ways that I can improve my writing so that things are presented more clearly. To this end, please try to explain *exactly* what happened between your reading of Wolfgang's message about the new 'field editing' feature of SliceGridPlugin, and your attempts to use an imagined syntax that was not described (or even implied) anywhere in the SliceGridPluginInfo documentation. thanks, -e --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
