The TWCore uses the contents of [[DefaultTiddlers]] to specify which
tiddlers will be shown at startup. There is a shadow definition built
into the TWCore that automatically displays [[GettingStarted]] by
default.
Normally, you override the shadow definition by editing
[[DefaultTiddlers]] and entering a static list of tiddler titles to be
opened every time the document is loaded. However, for your purposes,
you want to define a *variable* list of tiddlers that is automatically
generated based on the current date, rather than statically defined.
To do this, you can create a small custom plugin that overwrites the
TWCore default shadow definition for [[DefaultTiddlers]], like this:
//{{{
var out="";
var now=new Date().getTime(); // current time in msec
var day=86400000; // one day in msec
for (var when=now; when<now+7*day; when+=day)
out+=new Date(when).formatString("[[YYYY-0MM-0DD]]\n");
config.shadowTiddlers["DefaultTiddlers"]=out;
//}}}
Put the above code into a tiddler (e.g., [[SetDefaultTiddlers]]),
tagged with 'systemConfig'. If a 'real' [[DefaultTiddlers]] already
exists in your document, delete it so that the shadow
[[DefaultTiddlers]] definition will be applied next time you startup.
Save-and-reload and you're done: the next 7 days of date-titled
tiddlers will be displayed each time you open your document. QED.
