Mervin, Let me restate what you want
You want to indicate a date on given tiddlers such that when that date is the same as today you know. I am not sure what you mean by popup, I presume you mean will be listed "in your face". - I suggest creating a date field "selected-date" on the tiddlers you want selected. We can come to how do you enter the date below. - Then I would create a list in a tiddler that is in the default tiddlers such as home, that lists all of those selected-date tiddlers with a date of today. However you could make a sidebar tab or menu etc... - Then to help make it even clearer I would make a tiddler tagged $:/tags/ViewTemplate that will display a message on any tiddler who's selected-date equals today How do you select the selected-date? - You could just enter a date of the form YYYYMMDD (technically YYYY0MM0DD) - Since when you enter the date they are likely to be future dated I think it would be much easier to install the date picker plugin <https://github.com/kixam/TW5-datepicker> <$edit-date field="selected-date" format="YYYY-MM-DD" fieldFormat="YYYY0MM0DD" firstday="1" /> You could place this any tiddler you what to select the date, or also put it in a tiddler tagged $:/tags/ViewTemplate with a condition that determins when it is shown. PS Firstday makes Monday the first day of the week. This utility shows a nicely formatted calendar to select from or you can enter directly. <$list filter="[is[current]tag[task]]" variable=null> <$edit-date field="selected-date" format="YYYY-MM-DD" fieldFormat="YYYY0MM0DD" firstday="1" /> </$list> You set the filter to suit. It determines on which tiddlers you can enter a selected date. Perhaps in the the same tiddler above you can add this code to indicate if any tiddler with the selected-date field is today or not. tagged $:/tags/ViewTemplate <$list filter="[is[current]has[selected-date]]" variable=null> selected-date: <$view field=selected-date format=date template="YYYY-0MM-0DD"/> <$wikify name=date-now text="<<now YYYY0MM0DD>>"> <$list filter="[{!!selected-date}prefix<date-now>]" variable=null emptyMessage="Not today"> TODAY </$list> </$wikify> </$list> Then finally in your home tiddler that comes up when you load the wiki your could list all tiddlers with a selected-date of today <h3>Items with a selected-date of today</h3> <$list filter="[has[selected-date]]"> <$wikify name=date-now text="<<now YYYY0MM0DD>>"> <$list filter="[{!!selected-date}prefix<date-now>]" variable=null> <$link to=<<currentTiddler>> tooltip="Open Tiddler"><<currentTiddler> ></$link><br> </$list> </$wikify> </$list> --- Let me know if you want something different.
