In fact, a journal entry is really just a special case of a timeline entry without a specified "end-date" (i.e., a single day event), which the timeline code already handles.
So... rather than writing redundant code for handing "journal-date" or any other desired fieldname, I just made the timeline "start-date" fieldname configurable, so that you can easily enter a different fieldname instead of "start-date". Thus, the Calendar can now display timeline and journal events using "start-date" or "journal-date" or any fieldname you like. To change the fieldname, just view the Calendar settings and click on the gear icon next to the "Timelines and Journals" entry in the "Events" list. http://TiddlyTools.com/timer.html now includes a "SampleTimelineEvent" (with a start-date field) and "SampleJournalEntry" (with both start-date and journal-date fields). The SampleJournalEntry is set to 20201001 (October 1st) The SampleTimelineEvent is set for 20210717 through 20210725 (July 17-25, 2021) enjoy, -e > - > > I must find the timeline plugin that actually allowed on to see dates and > date range on a scrollable and zoomable time line. it could be reviewed to > check your solution can work with that plugin, not to reinvent the wheel > but make use of it. > > Regards > Tones > > > > > On Sunday, 4 October 2020 12:31:27 UTC+11, Eric Shulman wrote: >> >> On Saturday, October 3, 2020 at 11:35:07 AM UTC-7, Eric Shulman wrote: >>> >>> Another update to the http://TiddlyTools.com/timer.html Calendar to >>> support showing "events" for tiddlers that have a "start-date" (and >>> optional "end-date") field... >>> >>> *getevents() now generates events for all dates in a range from >>> "start-date" to "end-date" inclusive.* see getevents_range(). >>> >> >> getevents_range() has been renamed getevents_timeline() and has been >> refactored to provide some code cleanup and performance improvements. >> >> "range events" are now referred to in the Calendar interface (and >> documentation) as "Timeline Events". >> I've also added a Calendar Settings checkbox option for showing/hiding >> Timeline Events. >> This checkbox will only appear when there is at least one Timeline event >> defined. >> >> Still to be added: support for recognizing "journal-date" fields as >> special instances of Journal tiddlers >> >> enjoy, >> -e >> > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
