I managed to modify the set widget to fix the problem described here. While I don't understand the system enough to guarantee this code is bug free, it doesn't break the wiki and seems to work with all my test-cases.
(I don't really know how to go about submitting this to the project...) To use this modification, replace the content of *$:/core/modules/widgets/set.js* with the code below: /*\ title: $:/core/modules/widgets/set.js type: application/javascript module-type: widget Set variable widget \*/ (function(){ /*jslint node: true, browser: true */ /*global $tw: false */ "use strict"; var Widget = require("$:/core/modules/widgets/widget.js").widget; var SetWidget = function(parseTreeNode,options) { this.initialise(parseTreeNode,options); }; /* Inherit from the base widget class */ SetWidget.prototype = new Widget(); /* Render this widget into the DOM */ SetWidget.prototype.render = function(parent,nextSibling) { this.parentDomNode = parent; this.computeAttributes(); this.execute(); this.renderChildren(parent,nextSibling); }; /* Compute the internal state of the widget */ SetWidget.prototype.execute = function() { // Get our parameters this.setName = this.getAttribute("name","currentTiddler"); this.setFilter = this.getAttribute("filter"); this.setValue = this.getAttribute("value"); this.setEmptyValue = this.getAttribute("emptyValue"); // Set context variable this.setVariable(this.setName,this.getValue(),this.parseTreeNode.params); // Construct the child widgets this.makeChildWidgets(); }; /* Get the value to be assigned */ SetWidget.prototype.getValue = function() { var value = this.setValue; if(this.setFilter) { var results = this.wiki.filterTiddlers(this.setFilter,this); if(!this.setValue) { value = $tw.utils.stringifyList(results); } if(results.length === 0 && this.setEmptyValue !== undefined) { value = this.setEmptyValue; } } return value; }; /* Selectively refreshes the widget if needed. Returns true if the widget or any of its children needed re-rendering */ SetWidget.prototype.refresh = function(changedTiddlers) { var changedAttributes = this.computeAttributes(); if(changedAttributes.name || changedAttributes.filter || changedAttributes.value || changedAttributes.emptyValue || (this.setFilter && this.getValue() != this.variables[this.setName].value)) { this.refreshSelf(); return true; } else { return this.refreshChildren(changedTiddlers); } }; exports.setvariable = SetWidget; exports.set = SetWidget; })(); On Friday, 18 September 2015 13:15:41 UTC-5, Evan Balster wrote: > > Note that the issue with <$set> not refreshing occurs regardless of > whether a value/emptyValue condition is used. > > On Friday, 18 September 2015 10:00:44 UTC-5, Tobias Beer wrote: >> >> Despite the limitations, I have added the example here... >> >> Conditional Variable Assignment @ tb5 >> <http://tobibeer.github.io/tb5/#Conditional%20Variable%20Assignment> >> >> Best wishes, >> >> — tb >> > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
