help edit space_dashboard

If I have a URI card A, and I put [[A|Some Text]], I don't think the user would want the current behavior, which is that it takes you to the URI card and you have to click the link, and unnecessary step.  Maybe I could get the same effect another way with inclusion options, but it seems conter-intuitive like it is.

First link on this card

If you think it should be changed, I can do it since URI was my change initially.

I think the current behavior is correct. Otherwise how do you get to the uri card to fix it?

 

I get what you're saying, but it ultimately makes things more complicated to break the standard syntax pattern here. Instead you can do {{myURIcard|title:Some Text}}

Hmm, I guess that works for this. Forgot about title option. For a second I was thinking about how that would work with nested options on a list of URIs, another common use case, but that would just get me a bunch of links with the same text.

 

BTW, say I have a set that is ruled by a *structure providing the common view of that set, but in some contexts I wan't to provide more or less detail. What's the best way to do that? I guess for a type set, say Quote+*type+*structure, and then I can make rules like this Quote+detail+*type_plus_right+*structure would create virtual cards a_quote+detail. Is there a way to specify +detail as an appended part to nested items?

--Gerry Gleason.....2015-03-30 18:11:44 +0000

usually the best way to do that is to use the structure directive in a nest. Eg {{mysearch||structure:myspecialstructure}}

--Ethan McCutchen.....2015-03-30 18:21:01 +0000

So, how does that work? is myspecialstructure a cardname? So, it could be structure:+my_struct ? Well, maybe that doesn't make sense, but some card does. You can probably mark this answered too.
