How to switch between layout?

[linonetwo]

In $:/snippets/LayoutSwitcher, seems we ca use <$link> widget to switch between layouts?

<$link to={{!!title}}>
''<$transclude field="name"/>''&#32;-&#32;<$transclude field="description"/>
</$link>

But after the switch, the URL remains the same, and can't use "Back" to go back. How to implement a button to switch to default layout and open a tiddler, then allow user quickly back to previous layout?

That works because there is a surrounding linkcatcher widget.

To change layouts, change the value of the tiddler $:/layout

<$action-setfield tiddler="$:/layout" text="myLayoutPageTemplate"/>

Thanks, I omit the <$linkcatcher to="$:/layout"> above.

So maybe I can quit my layout and open a tiddler in default layout using

<$button tooltip="Open In StoryView">
  {{$:/core/images/home-button}}
  <$action-setfield tiddler="$:/layout" text="$:/core/ui/PageTemplate"/>
  <$action-navigate $to={{$:/state/Whiteboard/PageLayout/tiddler}}/>
</$button>

Currently it is not working, I'm still trying to figure out...

Apologies, there is a typo in my previous post, the tiddler attribute is actually $tiddler.

<$action-setfield $tiddler="$:/layout" text="myLayoutPageTemplate"/>

Got it, it's <$action-setfield $tiddler=, with $tiddler=, not tiddler=, problem solved! Thank you again Saq!

About how to go back, I add a button in the tiddler toolbar, so we can go back and forth:

Very nice. What library are you using for the whiteboard?
