Last Q I promise...new tiddler with special title

[David Gifford]

Hi all,

I would like a new tiddler button that creates a title that is a combination of text and the current date and time stamp.

Ω plus the actual time using this format YYYY-0MM-0DD 0hh:0mm:0ss

I have experimented to no end, and can't see the way forward.

With this and the other question answered, my world domination should be complete.

Hi Dave,

You can basically mimic the "New Journal" button.

If you open the following link: Link ;) you'll get all the tiddlers involved. (in my description here)

- select: Advanced Search: Shadows    tab and search for newjournal
- There are 2 config tiddlers:

      - $:/config/NewJournal/Tags

      - $:/config/NewJournal/Title

Those tiddlers can be defined in the ControlPanel: Info: Basic  at: Title / Tags for new journal tiddlers.

  - insert the text: Ω plus the actual time using this format YYYY-0MM-0DD 0hh:0mm:0ss
  - insert the tag: your tag

And click the "New Journal Button" .. you'll see, what happens.

--- Create your own custom button ---

 - To get your own "custom" button, just clone the New Journal button.
 - Create your own config tiddlers eg: $:/config/myNewTiddler/Tags and $:/config/myNewTiddler/Title
 - Edit your custom button and "search and replace" the config tiddler names.
    - change the following lines, near the end  of the tiddler

from

<$set name="journalTitleTemplate" value={{$:/config/NewJournal/Title}}>
<$set name="journalTags" value={{$:/config/NewJournal/Tags}}>

to

<$set name="journalTitleTemplate" value={{$:/config/myNewTiddler/Title}}>
<$set name="journalTags" value={{$:/config/myNewTiddler/Tags}}>

if you want to see your config tiddlers in the sidebar use:

<$set name="journalTitleTemplate" value={{config/myNewTiddler/Title}}>
<$set name="journalTags" value={{config/myNewTiddler/Tags}}>

 - save  and test the button
 
This button will also appear in the right Sidebar: Tools menue.

hope that helps

Thanks Mario! That is exactly what I needed. I kind of had half of it, but you provided the missing link

This bit about creating your own button is really good stuff! In keeping with the "capture and curate" philosophy, I've submitted it to jeremy and github.

Thanks!
Mark

Hi David,

For ultimate flexibility of constructing titles (incl. dates),
take a look at tobibeer/make.

Best wishes,

Tobias.

Thanks Tobias, just bookmarked it
