Hiding The Date of Authorship On A Tiddler

[Digital Doctor]

How do I hide a DATE a Tiddler was created.

I have a course starting January 2. I don't necessarily
want students to know that the tiddler was created
December 24. (LOL)

In your [[StyleSheet]], add:

.tiddler .subtitle { display:none; }

Eric:

Is there any way, to keep the authorship visible
but either a) hide the date or b) manually type in
a different date/description (i.e., Winter Session)

I thought I had figured out, how to change the
Author 'handle' in the tiddler; but in fact I have NOT.

Would appreciate a helping hand with this matter.

Hi RC,

You can use TiddlerTweakerPlugin to change the Author and dates of
tiddlers. ;-)

In the (default) ViewTemplate shadow tiddler, find this line:
---------------
<div class='subtitle'>
<span macro='view modifier link'></span>,
<span macro='view modified date'></span>
(<span macro='message views.wikified.createdPrompt'></span>
<span macro='view created date'></span>)
</div>
---------------

In order to hide the dates, remove the SPANs with the macro attributes
"view created" and "view modified", reducing that line to the following:
---------------
<div class='subtitle'>
<span macro='view modifier link'></span>
</div>
---------------

To use a fixed (i.e. not date-dependent) expression, simply add the
respective text (the wrapping SPAN is optional):
---------------
<div class='subtitle'>
<span macro='view modifier link'></span>
<span>Winter Session</span>
</div>
---------------

Of course such a fixed expression probably doesn't make much sense, but
I can't think of an easy way to generate conditional output* there.
You could, however, modify the date format:
---------------
<div class='subtitle'>
<span macro='view modifier link'></span>,
<span macro='view modified date "YYYY-0MM-0DD 0hh:0mm"'></span>
(<span macro='message views.wikified.createdPrompt'></span>
<span macro='view created date "YYYY-0MM-0DD"'></span>)
</div>
---------------

HTH.

* as in, "if(month == 'December') then write('Winter Session')"
for that you'd probably extend TW's Date.prototype.formatString()
