The tiddlerfields that are defined in the core are not full modules because they are needed before the tiddler loading mechanism is fully installed. That call to $tw.modules.define() directly defines the module exports.
For a normal module, you should use something like this: /*\ title: $:/plugins/arkadygrudzinsky/startfield.js type: application/javascript module-type: tiddlerfield Implements the start field as a date \*/ (function(){ /*jslint node: true, browser: true */ /*global $tw: false */ "use strict"; exports.name = "start"; exports.parse = $tw.utils.parseDate; exports.stringify = $tw.utils.stringifyDate; })(); Let me know how you get on, Best wishes Jeremy On Tue, Oct 29, 2013 at 1:19 AM, Arkady Grudzinsky <agrudzin...@gmail.com>wrote: > Jeremy, > > > >>> - Are tiddler fields always treated as text or is it possible to set >>> a field type (e.g. date, integer, etc.). >>> >>> Tiddler fields are strings by default, but can be typed through the use >> of "tiddlerfield" modules.
