Hi Andreas, See this thread: https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en#!searchin/tiddlywiki/datetime/tiddlywiki/Ez2OwDXBwk8/t0ZKXYjmKJ4J which refers to Stephan's dateTimeMacro here: http://tiddlystuff.tiddlyspot.com/ Works really well for me! cmari On Monday, November 24, 2014 8:46:05 AM UTC-8, Andreas wrote: Hi there, I have a field in a tiddler which holds a date (t_duedate: 2014-11-27).

Hi cmari, the dateTime module could be what I was searching for - thanks for this. The usage is described like this: The variable tag hold the current date. $set name=tag value=dateTime DD-MMM One question I still have: How do I get the resulting date from the variable tag into my field t_duedate?

Hi Andreas, I have a field in a tiddler which holds a date (t_duedate: 2014-11-27). What I now want to do is to add seven days to this date by simply pressing a button. How can I add a value to a field? Is there a solution for adding days? I think, eventually, this requires two things... - a core awareness of field-types that can be defined somewhere - utility widgets that allow to leverage that information and display relevant controls For example, another usecase — although not nearly as challenging — would be to have a boolean field set via checkbox, even in the default field editor that has been made type-aware. Apart form doing basic date manipulation as you want, another meaningful addition for editing dates would be a date picker. Yet another field may provide you with the option to select from a number of predefined defaults, etc... etc...

Re: [tw] Re: [TW5] Button to add 1 or 7 days to a date
Hi Tobias - a core awareness of field-types that can be defined somewhere Fields already have a type - look at the tiddler object definition in boot.js. But in practice I think that was a poor decision, and it makes more sense for all fields to be strings and to be parsed to the required data type as needed. Otherwise there are problems when different plugins want to specify a different type for the same field. Best wishes Jeremy.

Hi Andreas, But in practice I think that was a poor decision, and it makes more sense for all fields to be strings and to be parsed to the required data type as needed. Otherwise there are problems when different plugins want to specify a different type for the same field. Actually, perhaps not. If I had a widget and tell it to please use field foo as date so I can pick a day or do some other mathemagics, there really is no need to have some global type declaration, especially for user created fields. As for Andreas' request for certain control buttons, some pointer may be found as to the computational magic from *dateChooserPlugin* in MPTW http://mgsd.tiddlyspot.com/demo3.html#%5B%5BOkay%20to%20donate%20blood%20again%5D%5D%20dateChooserPlugin%20TitleButtons .

Or you can write a widget that updates the tiddler on every refresh Anyway he was asking about a button so the action widget should fit his use case. Sadly the set field widget is only available in TW5.1.5 prerelease -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups TiddlyWiki group.

I'm sure others could do this far more efficiently, but in case it helps,
here's a minimalist version of what I cobbled together using both the
dateTime macro and Matabele's mangletags and setfield widgets
(http://gwiz.tiddlyspot.com/#Widgets%20for%20Buttons:[[Widgets%20for%20Buttons]]).
In order to make this work, the tiddler needs to have three fields:
-repeattype (with a value of months or days, e.g., 1M, 2D, 7D, etc.)
-duedate (with a value formatted without hyphens, e.g., 20141124)
-due-date (with a value formatted with hyphens, e.g., 2014-11-24. This one
isn't actually essential, but allows the date to be displayed in the
tiddler. Note that changes to this date don't affect the duedate, but
clicking the update button will re-align this date with the duedate).
I couldn't figure out how to avoid the two date versions for my purposes,
but at least you only need to set them up once.
The tiddler text (which can also be used in transclusion in any other
tiddler that contains the three fields):
\define nextdeadline(duedate,repeattype)
dateTime -0MM-0DD $(duedate)$ $(repeattype)$
\end
\define nextunformatteddeadline(duedate,repeattype)
dateTime 0MM0DD $(duedate)$ $(repeattype)$
\end
\define updatefields1(to, add2,add4, add5)
$setfield set=$to$!!due-date setTo=$(add4)$
$setfield set=$to$!!duedate setTo=$(add5)$
$mangletags message=tm-set-field$button message=tm-mangle-tags
update/$button/$mangletags/$setfield/$setfield
\end
\define updatefields2()
$macrocall $name=updatefields1 to={{!!title}} add2=dateTime
-0MM-0DD
\end
$set name=duedate value={{!!duedate}}
$set name=repeattype value={{!!repeattype}}
$set name=add4 value=nextdeadline
$set name=add5 value=nextunformatteddeadline
$edit-text tiddler={{!!title}} field=due-date type=date tag=input/
$edit-text
$list filter=[all[current]]updatefields2/$list
/$set
/$set
/$set
/$set
