Mark,

To be clear a time stamp like this
<>
is a date only, however also midnight

I have used
<>

For noon, but one could use 6am etc...
or add "[UTC]0MM0DD12000"

 You can calculate future dates. Coupled with the range widget, you 
 could calculate a series of dates every X days apart. To poke it back into 
 a field requires a button or other action widget, as always.

 If you have an app that depends on thousands of dates being calculated 
 when the TW loads, then this might not be the solution for you. Javascript 
 will always be faster. However, even Javascript has some serious date 
 range 
 limitations built in, surprisingly enough.

[TW Tones]

Mark,

I am not sure what Time Zone you are in but I find time of day issues when 
I don't add UTC into the tiddlywiki data format. The date can be the day 
before for me because of this. 

I don't recall which but one plugin does not use the UTC format and one 
Tiddlywiki feature does not work correctly unless its used. I can't recall 
but I just use UTC to avoid it as much as possible. Since I am in the +10 
timezone this can be a substantial error.

But the html date input is not too bad 
https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_form_input_types.asp (others work as 
well)

<$edit-text field=fieldname type=date tag="input"/>

<$edit-text field=fieldname2 type=datetime-local tag="input"/>
At least In my locality the date returned is -MM-DD which is at least 
sortable

However there is real value capturing the full tiddlywiki serial date 
because the days operator and other need it.


Even this works returning 0 to 100
<$edit-text field=fieldname type=range tag="input"/>

I just discovered that online the following added C:\fakepath\ to the 
selected filename
<$edit-text field=fieldname type=file tag="input"/>
however on TiddlyDesktop wikis this returns the full pathname

In conclusion the edit-text is far more useful that first appears.

[tw5] Re: http://evanbalster.com/ where are you!!!!

['Mark S.' via TiddlyWiki]

Are you using native input fields? Or dates like "-mm-dd" ?

The date macros currently use either a field with native TW date built in 
or dates broken out by year, month , day as input.
Unfortunately they output dates like -mm-dd. I suppose it would be 
possible to add a function that can also take your Timezone and calculate a 
mmddHHMMSS date like TW uses. Maybe. I guess if it was me I'd 
dispense with TW dates altogether since there are so few operators that 
make use of them any-ways. UTZ precision is usually not necessary if all 
your users are living in the same timezone.

As far as inputting into a field, the result of the macro probably just 
needs to be wikified.

Hi Mark, sorry to mither...

I've created buttons which copy the entire macro to a new tiddler, create 
error messages and do nothing at all (I swear once I heard it laughing at 
me...) but not one of my bumbling attempts at tiddlywiki-speak have made 
the text of the date, and only the text of the date, appear in another 
field or tiddler.

To clarify...

enter a date in a field.

Use your wonderful macro to add a number of days (probably in another field)

Put the text output of that in a final field.   <--This be the bit that 
killing me :)

Smile as vis.js finally recognises the output!

[tw5] Re: http://evanbalster.com/ where are you!!!!

[TW Tones]

Stephan,

I know its a conceptual leap. Now is a time date stamp of the current time 
and date. The point is then lists are the ones that choose which tiddlers 
to include, using the days operator , not calculating the date when you are 
touching/modifying the tiddler.

In your case however the timeline plugin demands start and end dates. So 
perhaps this will not help you.

I use the plugin here https://github.com/kixam/TW5-datepicker for selecting 
actual dates past present or future.

I use UTC in the date format see the view Widget and DateFormat details

I hope this helps
TW Tones

@Mark S
Thanks, will have a look!

Perhaps a fuller explanation of what I'm trying to achieve...

Last year I cobbled together an assessment schedule, handcrafting all the 
dates for each toddler and feeding it into vis.js timeline plugin.  It's 
about that time again to update this for the next academic year, so I was 
hoping to make this a little more robust/ spreadsheet-like in that I could 
set the start date and watch and smile as all the other dates set 
themselves from that, and from that set up forms to more easily add/ edit 
dates etc.

Then I can host the thing and stick it in teams!!  Yay Microsoft Teams

file:///C:/PortableApps/Documents/Tiddlywikis/Testing%20Schedule.html_backup/Testing%20Schedule.20200709135916295.html#Assessment%20Schedule

@TW Tones
So when you say 'NOW' is that any now, ie it could be a future now, or does 
it have to be a now now?   I keep getting stuck on NOW... :) !

Thanks!

Ste,

A Quick reminder, that on numerous occasions I have raised the idea of 
using a "now time stamp" rather than a future dated field and in the 
listing of such tiddler use the days operator to determine you are now +7 
days from the timestamp. That is avoid such date manipulation and let the 
search/listing deal with it.

Eg review-date older than 7 days then it is due (in the weekly queue), but 
this also allows the same date field to be listed in fortnightly and 
monthly, even quarterly and annually. Just change the days operators, a 
caparison of the date field with now. All this without a single date 
manipulation. If you want to use a weekly-date and flag/tag it Monday and 
only list it on any day of the week if not done, but only Monday if done.

Tony

You can calculate future dates. Coupled with the range widget, you could 
calculate a series of dates every X days apart. To poke it back into a 
field requires a button or other action widget, as always.

If you have an app that depends on thousands of dates being calculated when 
the TW loads, then this might not be the solution for you. Javascript will 
always be faster. However, even Javascript has some serious date range 
limitations built in, surprisingly enough.

Ste, it may be worth considering that TW now has math functionality that 
was not available when Evan made his plugin. Also, I recall digging up some 
algo for how to calculate future dates that Mark used for some problem. 
Maybe he has a ready made solution that you can use.

Edit..

In the next tiddler I want 'start' and end to be +7 days after the start 
and end in tiddler *one*.

Found it...discussion which mentions Evans site going down.

https://groups.google.com/g/tiddlywiki/c/7jtgYsV6iXE/m/84D8Y34gCAAJ  

https://joshuafontany.github.io/TiddlyWikiFormula/ 

currently hosting.

At the risk of hijacking my own thread, does anyone have examples of using 
it to manipulate dates?

I have a field, 'start' containing a date.  Want the field 'end' to contain 
a date six days after the start.

In the next tiddler I want 'start' and end to be +7 days after the start 
and end in tiddler two.

Will keep poking in the meantime.

Whupp! That site is clearly hijacked leading to some "bitcoin news" in my 
local language(!). I did some malware searches on my own computer and 
nothing comes up so I conclude it is the site.
