Hi Tony,
I was thinking of macros for making buttons.
In case of a button that calls a tiddler (in many use cases, and in the
core the buttons for control panel, tiddler manager and tag manager) it can
be done.
As proof of concept I made the following macro:
\define buttonto(tiddler,image,description,caption,tag)
<$button to="$tiddler$" tooltip="$tooltip$" class=<<tv-config-toolbar-class
>>>
<$action-setfield $field="caption" $value="{{$image$}} $caption$"/>
<$action-setfield $field="description" $value="$description$"/>
<$action-setfield $field="tags" $value="$tag$"/>
<$list filter="[<tv-config-toolbar-icons>match[yes]]">
{{$image$}}
</$list>
<$list filter="[<tv-config-toolbar-text>match[yes]]">
<$text text="$caption$"/>
</$list>
</$button>
\end
To 'recreate' the Control panel button, create a tiddler containing:
<<buttonto $:/ControlPanel $:/core/images/options-button "Open control
panel" "control panel" "$:/tags/ViewToolbar">>
When clicking the button (cogwheel in this created tiddler)
1. the tiddler will be tagged with $:/tags/ViewToolbar
2. the caption and description fields will be created
3. a control panel button will be added to the tiddler controls
4. in Control panel > Appearance > Toolbars > View toolbar an extra
control panel button with checkbox will be added
With given macro tiddler manager and tag manager can be `recreated` as well.
Many user buttons that call a tiddler with certain functionality in it can
be created with this macro.
Notes for this proof of concept
1. You need to click the button in the button tiddler once to add tag,
caption and description field; thereafter th real button will be available
2. After that the 3 action-setfield widgets will be activated with each
button click while there is no need for it anymore
So it needs some polishing but in principle it works.
Cheers,
Ton
