So this is the solution I have to this problem:
\define empire_lookup()
{{EmpireEventLookupTable##$(thejointype)$}}
\end
<$set name=thejointype value={{!!jointype}}>
{{!!planet}} <<empire_lookup>> <$link to={{!!faction}}><$view
field=faction></$link>
</$set>
Fields:
faction: United Federation of Planets
jointype: join
planet: [[Mars]]
year: 2162
The result is:
Mars joined the United Federation of Planets
The idea behind using this format is so I can put the body of the text into
a template tiddler and use a form to create new empire event tiddlers
quickly and easily. It works for the most part.
I still have two issues with this:
In the form tiddler I have this:
Planet: <$select field='planet'>
<$list filter="[tag[planet]]">
<option><<currentTiddler>></option>
</$list>
</$select>
....
<$button>New Event
<$action-setfield $tiddler="Template: Empire Event"
title=Event_{{!!year}}_{{!!month}}_{{!!day}}/>
<$action-setfield $tiddler=Event_{{!!year}}_{{!!month}}_{{!!day}}
year={{!!year}} planet={{!!planet}} faction={{!!faction}}
jonitype={{!!jointype}}/>
</$button>
year, month, day, faction, and jointype are defined with similar select
widgets and are working fine.
Here are the problems.
Planet is showing up in the resulting tiddler as text only and not as a
link to the associated tiddler. For example, if I select Cardassia Prime
from the select widget, the planet field in the resulting tiddler will say
Cardassia Prime, when I need it to say [[Cardassia Prime]]. I'm not
entirely certain how to accomplish this.
Another problem is in the title of the new tiddler. I want the values of
the year, month, and day fields to show up in the title of the new tiddler,
but instead the tiddler name is Event_{{!!year}}_{{!!month}}_{{!!day}},
rather than Event_2451_12_14, for example.
Does anyone know how I can fix these issues?
