Hi
I want to discuss my setup of TW5

I now have a setup like a journal
So i have all kind of small tiddlers where i put in this as the date: [[7 Mar 21]] in te text.
So for a student, say JohnDoe i made 1 tiddler called JohnDoe

In that tiddler i have a log i update when something changes with this student, like so:

---------------------Tiddler called JohnDoe-----------------------------
[[6 Mar 21]]

Called him to do his homework 

 [[7 Mar 21]] 

 He delivered his homework

------------------------End of Tiddler-------------------------------------------

So per student i have a log

Now i would transclude all tiddlers that contain [[7 Mar 21]]

Q1: Is this a sensible setup?
Or can it be even handier??

Q2: How can i transclude those tiddlers??
My 1st attempt is this:

<$list filter="[regexp:text[16 Feb 21]]" variable=each>
<<each>>
<br>
</$list>

But that doesn't transclude the tiddlers....

Comments welcome, thanks!
I have the feeling i can make this setup smarter and perhaps more flexible.

Ray,
 I use a tiddler for a student containing some fields (e.g phone number, email address, photo, ...)
 Then I added a dynamic table to collect and list all tiddlers tagged with that student name (e.g. tasks, homework, meeting,...) in the same tiddler
 For any events/tasks/etc. I just click on student tiddler to create a new tiddler (new here)

Dynamic table automatically updates itself to show new tasks/events/etc.




Best wishes
Mohammad

Hi Mohammad,

that looks interesting. do you have an example somewhere i can look at?
Do you collect the content of those tiddlers or only their names?

Thank you.

Ray

Ray,
 I would recommend to read the material on Shiraz demo but attached is an empty sample!
 Just click on New item or create here!

 It is based on Shiraz!



Best wishes

Hey Mohammad,

Just curious, how does your system deal with multiple meetings on the same day?

Hey Diego,

I use a TW per student! 
Of course this is simple wiki, so I use journal tiddler tagged meeting for meetings! If there was two meetings or more I add a suffix to title like subject of that meeting
e.g.: 
8th March 2021 - Progress Report
8th March 2021 - Jam Pet Visit

So I always start a journal tiddler tagged meeting!

Use what you will and discard the rest (below); i lost my detailed reply :-(

When things get fast and chaotic, i find simple is best for my brain. 

My tiddlers are close to Randy Pausch's timelog: line based log with datestamps and keywords/tags that i access via search or filters and lifecycle through Joe Armstrong's Chandler

if TW ever fades, i can still parse the lines for a meaningful archive  

i use these and they have been proven helpful:
  • Joe Armstrong's Chandler implementation for action tiddlers https://joearms.github.io/#Chandler
  • insert <<list-links "[!is[system]search[$(currentTiddler)$]sort[title]]">>  into any project or 'student tiddler'
  • date stamp every line with Riz's timestamp toolbar snippet https://groups.google.com/g/tiddlywiki/c/UHt6GsMpyAQ/m/USFJxw68AQAJ
  • <<list-links "[!is[system]search[2021-03]sort[title]]">> to collect tiddlers from March 2021
  • <<list-links "[!is[system]search[MaryDoe]sort[title]]">> to collect tiddlers about Student MaryDoe
Have fun!

Best,
tony

Hi Tony!

The blog by late Joe Armstrong one the simplest and semantic Tiddlywiki I have ever seen!
It is clean, minimal and very simple!

The one I shared with Rey uses the same philosophy but equipped with Shiraz!




Best wishes
Mohammad
