Reminder plugin: Last day of month? Trimonthly? Colors?

[Mark S.]

Hello!

I've been trying out the reminder macro. Its really good work!

Is there a way to :

1. Set a reminder for the *last* day of the month? Since the last
day
of the month could be on a 28, 29, 30, or 31? So far the best
compromise
I can think of is to use the first day of the month with a title
that reminds
the bill is due on the *last* day. The other compromise is to
remind on
the 28th with a negative leadtime so it won't be forgotten.
2. Set a reminder that kicks off every 3 months (I've got a bill
that comes
up every 3 months). So far the only thing I can think of is to
have it
come up every 90 days ... which means the date will float around
a bit.

Finally, I need more nagging. Is there a macro that will prevent me
from closing out the file until I've acknowledged the contents of a
given Tiddler?

One more question. I still haven't figured out why some dates appear
on the calendar in pink. I can't discern the difference between the
pink days and the other reminder days (which show up in blue).

Thanks!
Mark

Pink (#ffaace) would be dates that are holidays.
For example built into the DatePlugin it has:

holidays: [ "01/01", "07/04", "07/24", "11/24" ], // NewYearsDay,
IndependenceDay(US), Eric's Birthday (hooray!), Thanksgiving(US)

So July 24 should be pink.

That same section explains the colors, and can be modified.

As to the every three months.... what about 4 reminders set 3 months
apart?
Something like Jan 10, April 10, July 10, Oct 10.

Good idea.. i guess you could also have 12 reminders repeating each
year to do end-of-month things.

If/when the reminder system ever gets re-written 'end of month' seems
like a good choice for a selection in the pull down.... actually, it
might even be something that is easy to add on right now as I know
there is a section that controls how many days in a month.

OK, strike that last part. The section of code I was thinking of in in
the CalenderPlugin : config.macros.calendar.monthdays = [ 31, 28, 31,
30, 31, 30, 31, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31];

One day off every four years is acceptable ;-)

You know I hadn't even thought of that. I am sure somewhere in there
Eric has a way to do Leap Years.
