ReminderPlugin not working

[Anthony Muscio]

Folks,

I have spent some time trying to work out why my remindersplugin has
stoped working. It was not as a result of an upgrade to 2.4.0 as it
was working after that.

If I create a reminder in a tiddler it shows the number of days to the
event as usual however in the showremiinders macro, even the simplest
without any filtering eg;
<<showReminders format:"|DIFF|''TITLE''|DATE |In TIDDLER|" >>
it simply shows "There are no upcoming events".

In another tiddler at the same time I Have
<<reminder year:2009 month:3 day:25 title:"Do today" >>
Which shows "Today: Do today on Wednesday March 25, 2009"

Does anyone even know where to start on this one ?

Thanks Tony

If you have not found an easy way to do it with TiddlyWiki, you have missed something.

Solution found by myself through a process of elimination

Will do a fresh Post "RemindersPlugin Clashes with
SearchOptionsPlugin"

Elimination determined by;
New tiddlyWiki
Import reminders plugin
create reminder
configure a showreminders macro (in Getting Started)
Exported all plugins from problem wiki
Imported sets of plugins to plugin tiddlers until error observed
Disabled last set and reactivated individual ones until clashing
plugin identified

I hope this helps others with difficult problems

RemindersPlugin uses the core search() function to search through all
the tiddler text to find the reminders.

SearchOptionsPlugin *extends* the core search() function to allow
selective searching in any combination of titles, text, tags, shadows,
etc. based on option settings (checkboxes) that are remembered using
cookies (so the setting persists across sessions)

I'm guessing that, at some time in the past, you might have configured
the search options checkboxes to *not* search within the tiddler text
(i.e., so you could search for just title, or tags, or whatever...)
However:

*** In order for RemindersPlugin to work, you have to allow
searching in tiddler text. ***

If you re-enable the SearchOptions checkbox, I'll bet that
RemindersPlugin starts working and will once again find all the
reminders you expect it to.
