'today' tiddler link with newJournal
matt
I'm using the newJournal macro to make a daily todo list, tagged with
'journal'. Works great, but I'd like the link to say 'today' rather
than 'new journal'. I've tried this:
[[today|<<newJournal "DD MMM YYYY" journal>>]]
but the macro isn't expanded. Whats the best way to get this?
I'm freelancing at a 3d animation studio right now, and using
tiddlywiki to keep track of shots, 3d elements, deadlines, wishlists
etc.. the other staff here can't believe how elegant and neat the
system is, I think its gonna be part of their standard pipeline now.
Woo!
Should also say big thanks to Jeremy Ruston and everyone who's hacking
away at tiddlywiki, its utterly brilliant. If you're ever around soho
Jeremy I owe you a pint.
Cheers,

It's not at all obvious, but put this line into a tiddler and tag it
with "systemConfig". It will change all uses of <<newJournal>> to read
"today".
config.macros.newJournal.label = "today";

Excellent, glad it's useful.

Well, I'm handily located very close to Soho so I just might take you
up on that!
Many thanks,
Jeremy.

brilliant, that works a treat!
next step though would be to open the today journal for viewing rather
than for editing. any way to do that?

Lovely, drop me an email when you're thirsty. Say the shaston arms
behind carnaby st?

one - *myMacro* macro for TW
(http://aiddlywiki.sourceforge.net/myMacro_demo.html). It's more
flexible to use myMacro because you can change any macro buttons
whenever and wherever you want.
matt's problem can be solved with myMacro this way:
<<myMacro label today newJournal "DD MMM YYYY" journal>>

solutions open the journal for editing. how would i open it as a
regular tiddler?
i thought i could nest the 'today' macro inside a link, but this
doesn't work:
[[<<today "DD MMM YYYY">>]]

Try my DatePlugin... (get it here:)
http://www.elsdesign.com/tiddlywiki/#DatePlugin
It provides extended date formatting like the built-in <<today>> macro,
but also can create links to "dated tiddlers" (i.e., journals) and even
"date popup menus" like the "yesterday today tomorrow" links in the
menu on my site. You can specify the date using "Y M D" notation in
mathematical expressions (see plugin docs for details). The special
keyword parameters, "today" or "tiddler" let you use the current date
or the modified date of the current tiddler, respectively. You may
also use "tiddler:InsertTitleHere" to use the modified date of any
specific named tiddler.
For your "open the current day's journal", you could use:
<<date link today>>
The only catch is that you need to match the default date format used
by <<newJournal>>, which is different from the default format used in
DatePlugin.
However, DatePlugin lets you also customize the date format to display
the link as well as the date format used for the title of the tiddler
being linked to:
<<date link today "DDD, MMM DDth YYYY" "DD MMM YYYY">>
