TW5 reminders

[jb]

I revisit this about ever 6 months hoping that it has been addressed.

Is there now, or will there ever be a function like TWC reminders - http://remindermacros.tiddlyspot.com/ - ?

Thanks!

Hi J Bell,

http://remindermacros.tiddlyspot.com

Most of the functionality this provides is already possible,

it's just not been put together into a congruent whole.

Here is how I would do:

1. devise a button to create and associate reminder tiddlers (possibly under a system namespace)
• assign a unique id to the tiddler given the reminder, unless that tiddler already has one
• that would be something not in the core yet, but I would not fiddle it any other way
• in fact, I think I am just going to create an <<id>> macro right away
• store this unique id at the reminder tiddler in a field, e.g. for or tiddler or lookup-id
• store the target date at the date field of the reminder tiddler
  
• and perhaps use a summary or description field to store a reminder title
• alternatively use the tiddler title, if you don't want to stuff reminders under a system namespace
• but then you may have the issue of wanting to use the same title twice, so... back to the system namespace
• use the body of the reminder tiddler as a more complex reminder note
2. use a conditional view template that lists all reminders for a tiddler (or filter)
• allow to set a reminder date using a date picker plugin
  
• with a button to create a new reminder
3. provide a macro / template to easily list all reminders (for a given scope / context)
• could, in fact, be the same as 2. only working on a filter other than [all[current]]
  

So, what's missing today is:

• for the date to be displayed as a delta
• this can be achieved through new relative date format that can literally be called DELTA
• the id mechanism
• which can be circumvented by other, less efficient means
• but is actually simple to implement, so I think I'm going to jump on it right away

All in all, if you wanted to, you could do some pioneering

and work the basic functionality out already.

Best wishes,

I've also interest in a reminder macro in TW5 like known from TWC. Anyone out there to start the work? I'm a new user and not a programmer to do the job. I can only support with testing.

Hi,
gsd5 has a reminder / tickler function.

Forgive me for resurrecting an old thread and for possibly misdirecting this query, but I must be missing something fundamental (I'm new to TiddlyWiki;  there's a lot to learn).  Reminder/tickler functionality sounds ideal.  However, I see absolutely no documentation for how to use it... When I install either the gsd5/core or the gsd5/ticklers into a tw via TiddlyDesktop, the "readme" tabs are empty.  There's no obvious "how to use this..." documentation at http://gsd5.tiddlyspot.com/  and not even any obvious channel through which to *ask* the author where the documentation is.  Am I being very, very stupid somehow?

from the website it looks like you have to create an action, then goto the action and select the tickler

all the best
