Way of organising and transcluding things

[Ray Vermey]

Hi all

My current way of organising my tiddles is as follows:

Mainly i create a Journal tiddler everyday with title of the date and put in there the things i've done, like so:

---

Call with [[JohnDoe]] to organise event. He thought....bla..

He also asked .... bla<br>

Student [[MaryDoe]] mailed me the contract for internship at company [[CompDoe]]<br>

Send schedule to [[StudentDoe]] like agreed <br>

---

Something that way...

So i have a list of dated Journals and i can see what ive did that day when i click the tiddler.

Now i wanted to be able to click on the say [[MaryDoe]] in a tiddler and i would like to see only the line (until the <br>) so that i get all the info over time i wrote about Mary

I need to extract that lines of text from all tiddlers where she appears i think.

Not sure how to do that. So in a way i see all her history in one view.

But... then i was thinking: why not create a separate tiddler called MaryDoe and put in there every new stuff on the days i have to do something for her, or when she contacts me etc..

That would make things easier when i retrieve her historical data because when i click her title the information shows up because it us all in one tiddler.

Now i only would like to have some way of knowing on what days i updated her tiddler.

So the historical view is visible.

Am i thinkinkg the right way or is there another way of realising this??

I feel for the seperate tiddlers approach but how can i see an overview like:

1 Mar 21 : Action so and so

3 Jan 21: Call so and so

31Dec20: Lines of text added on this day.
                 This is also the line of text added this day..

Any thoughts??

You might try Stroll (https://giffmex.org/stroll/stroll.html), and in the pink eyeball tab, select the Highlights in context option.

That way, the MaryDoe tiddler will show at the bottom, all the backlinks from other tiddlers to MaryDoe in context, so you can see which tiddlers you want to open to see more detail, and the links will be right there.

Also, if you have camelcase links enabled, you can write MaryDoe, and not bother with the brackets.

Thanks!

I have stroll already installed indeed and find the referencing tiddlers below quite handy :-)

You might want to take a look at Eric's https://tiddlytools-timer.tiddlyhost.com/.  It's made a significant improvement in my TW work flows to the point that I recommend it as a solution that is preferable (in many contexts) to Journal tiddlers.
