Hi All,

When I start a TW5 I would like to see in the story river the the tiddlers
I made or modified the previous day. In this specific TW5 of mine every
tiddler is tagged with a "yearmonthday" tag. E.g. 20170314. That is the
day that the tiddler was created or modified. So tiddlers can have more
of these date tags.

Beats me what I should add to the "Default Tiddlers field" in the Control
Panel with "Choose which tiddlers are displayed at startup:"

Help would be very much appreciated as this would help me greatly in the
work I have to do. (I need to go over those tiddlers to see if there is any
funetuning needed of the text or information contained in the tiddlers and
if similar tiddlers are really similar.) 

I use Firefox latest version and as of tomorow we will be working with
Windows 10. IT department will then update all computers.

Thanks very much in advance!
Cheers! Ed

Hi Ed,

If you click the "retain story odering" button below the default tiddler setting, you'll see, that this setting can contain filter expressions.

http://tiddlywiki.com/#Filter%20Operators:%5B%5BFilter%20Operators%5D%5D%20%5B%5Bdays%20Operator%5D%5D%20%5B%5Bdays%20Operator%20(Examples)%5D%5D

eg: [days[-1]]  which will open the tiddlers, that you modified yesterday. TW already has a created and modified field. So IMO there is no need for extra tags.

[days:created[-5]]   ... should open the tiddlers created within the last 5 days .. and so on

have fun!

Mario, thanks for that tip. I had no idea you could put filter expressions in the default tiddler field. So the default tiddlers can become "responsive" to new changes to the wiki, without changing the actual default. So, [tag[HelloThere]] or something similar would possibly change the default tiddlers without making a change in the control panel. Cool!
