Hi Mario, Thanks for the suggestions. This is definitely what I was trying to do, but still no luck. I made sure to enable my popups in my browser -- trying both Google Chrome 9.0 and Firefox 3.6.
* In my new ShowPopup tiddler, I have the following code, which I tagged "transclusion" (without the quotes): <<tiddler ShowPopup with: TiddlerName label tooltip buttonClass width popupClass>> * I have a TiddlerToPopup tiddler, with the following code (without the surrounding quotes): "This tiddler should be shown in a popup." * Then in the MainMenu Tiddler, I have <<tiddler ShowPopup with: TiddlerToPopup "Try Popop" "try popup">> And here's what I see: On the left-side menu, there's no effect; it's like I haven't added anything about the TiddlerToPopup at all. If I navigate to the Timeline (or All), and click MainMenu to display the tiddler in the middle/main display area, there's an empty line where the TiddlerToPopup should be shown. (That is, I've put that line between two other tiddlers that *do* properly appear.) I've made sure that popups are enabled in my browser. I wondered if the SinglePageModePlugin was interfering, so I edited the config.options.chkSinglePageMode to be false (which is set in a CookieJar per Eric's suggestion). I tried putting the <<tiddler ShowPopup with: TiddlerToPopup "Try Popop" "try popup">> line in the DefaultTiddlers, but then when I save & reload I get a bunch of errors (starting with "The tiddler 'tiddler' doesn't exist. Double-click to create it"). So I'm missing something; any ideas? Thanks much, -Monique (p.s., Is there a way to reply to the list by replying directly from my email client? I tried and got a failed delivery, so came back to the website to post through it.)
