[TonyM]

Si

I have a code trick for past dates. Use the days operator twice in the one 
filter to get a tiddler with yesterdays or another past date and then extract 
the date from that tiddlers date field. It only works if a tiddler with that 
date field exists but that is often what we want any way.

Regards
Tony

Joshua Fontany has also updated that plugin on his own:

 Hi all,

 I'm aspiring to build a habit tracker with TiddlyWiki with similar 
 functionality to the Android app Loop 
 
 .

 The first thing I wanted to do was list every date for the last week, 
 which I thought would be easy, but immediately hit a wall.

 Can anyone point me in the right direction?

 Thanks for your help.

[TonyM]

SI,

I am having a look a loop, and it may be of some value. I have a 
sophisticated bespoke todo organizer in tiddlywiki and have dates covered, 
so if you have any more specific questions I can answer. 

To meet your original request you need to use the days operator with [-7] 
against the modified or created dates. 

I made a great discovery that almost no one seems to understand but on a 
given task/habit tiddler I only ever apply a date stamp ie; now, when I do 
something and it is the list widget that determines if they should appear 
in a list either for the past or the future. So if the monday tiddler was 
last date stamped more than -7 days it appears for this monday.

The picaday plugin is important, and sophisticated date calculations are 
available in Evans Formulae plugin however I can do all I want without it.

Regards
Tony

['Mark S.' via TiddlyWiki]

The native TiddlyWiki toolkit is rather sparse when it comes to dates. But 
you could use Jed Carty's date macros:

https://ooktech.com/jed/ExampleWikis/DateMacros/

which I found using the TiddlyWiki Toolmap 


Those are javascript-based macros. I have some pure tiddly text macros I 
wrote with help from Mat or someone very much like him that I could repost 
if you're a "purist".
