How do I stop new Tiddlers from creating Timestamps?

Do you mean the 'created' and 'modified' fields?

https://tiddlywiki.com/#TiddlerFields

If so I think they're built in and required. Might be possible to reset them to dates of your choosing though.

I don't think we're thinking of the same thing.  I want to get rid of (or just hide) the timestamp that automagically appears right below the title on every Tiddle.  I believe it's possible but I may have to overwrite a shadow Tiddler.

I'll even rewrite some code if I have to.

Thanks for the reply.

Hi Dan,

You can very easy hide the subtitle (username, modified date) by creating a stylesheet (tiddler tagged with $:/tags/Stylesheet) containing:

.tc-subtitle {
     display
:none;
}

In case you only want to get rid of the date, you have to override the shadow tiddler $:/core/ui/ViewTemplate/subtitle
Open this tiddler and remove the line

<$view field="modified" format="date" template={{$:/language/Tiddler/DateFormat}}/>

Save the tiddler thereafter.

Hope that helps

There's also a "Timestamps off" button in the sidebar > Tools

You're right (I forgot about that option) but it removes also the username AND only works for new tiddlers.

Cheers,

Ton

Ton,

You were right on the money.  (although I misread your instructions about four times before I got it working -- Twiddler noob here)
Thanks a lot, man.
Also got to look at some Tools, so good help all around.
