next alias

In HBN there was entries had a "next alias" property that could be accessed through AS. I couldn't find anything similar in Mori. Is there anyway to find the aliases of an entry?

Thanks

I took this out because I didn't realize anyone would use it. I'm adding back 'next alias' and 'previous alias' keys for the next release. In the meantime I think you can call method to do what you want. Try

set myNextAlias to call method "nextAlias" of myEntryData

Thanks Jesse, that seems to work fine as a replacement.

Submitted by BMEguy on Sun, 2006-02-12 03:13.

First thing to note (that I found through trial and error) is that the above call has to be inside a "tell application "Mori"" block and not a "using terms from application "Mori"" block.

Any idea as to why this:

try

set nextAlias to (call method "nextAlias" of currentEntry)
log "the next alias is " & nextAlias

on error
log "error"
set nextAlias to null
end try

results in:

call method "nextAlias" of entry id "p3" of document "testNotebook.midoc"
entry id "p19" of document "testNotebook.midoc"
get entry id "p19" of document "testNotebook.midoc"
entry id "p19" of document "testNotebook.midoc"
(*error*)

p19 is indeed the alias of p3, but as soon as I try to set the value of a varible to it, I get the error.

Thanks,
Jeff

I think the problem is this line:

log "the next alias is " & nextAlias

it's trying to coerce nextAlias (which is an entry) into a string, and that's what is causing the error. This works OK for me:

tell application "Mori"
set nextAlias to call method "nextAlias" of current entry
log "the next alias is " & name of nextAlias
end tell
