Hey Jed, I've got a working version of things now. It comes with a
"Refresh Titles" button that uses internalFetch to grab the data from all
the wikis and stores it in $:/state/Bob/{{wiki
name}}/[$:/SiteTitle,$:/SiteSubtitle]. Then, I've reworked the Wiki
Listing view to show the SiteTitle and SiteSubtitle in the Wiki Listing.
IF the state tiddlers are not available, it falls back to the Wiki Name, as
before.
\define addPrefix() [addprefix[$:/state/Bob/$(WikiName)$/]]
\define getTitle() $:/state/Bob/$(WikiName)$/$:/SiteTitle
\define getSubtitle() $:/state/Bob/$(WikiName)$/$:/SiteSubtitle
Available Wikis: <$button>
Refresh Titles
<$list filter="[[$:/WikiSettings/split/wikis]indexes[]]"
variable="WikiName">
<$action-websocketmessage
$type='internalFetch'
fromWiki=<<WikiName>>
filter='[title[$:/SiteTitle]]'
transformFilter=<<addPrefix>>
resolution='force'
/>
<$action-websocketmessage
$type='internalFetch'
fromWiki=<<WikiName>>
filter='[title[$:/SiteSubtitle]]'
transformFilter=<<addPrefix>>
resolution='force'
/>
</$list>
</$button>
<$list filter="[[$:/WikiSettings/split/wikis]indexes[]]"
variable="WikiName">
<li>
<a href=<<WikiName>> target='_blank'>
<$transclude tiddler=<<getTitle>> ><$text text=<<WikiName>>
/></$transclude></a> <$transclude tiddler=<<getSubtitle>> />
</li>
</$list>
