Re: [tw] Re: (TW5) Problem with operator on: subfilter:"sort[created]" ?

Hi Mario, Thanks for your efforts at explaining. Yes, I'm coming to a new appreciation. With TW, you can't treat declarations and invocations as a matter of personal style. You need to understand exactly how the substitutions will take place. So instead of: "death by whitespace?" it's

Hi, I think there is a typo. IMO it should be: \define timeline2(limit:"100",format:"DDth MMM ",subfilter:"",sortaction:"sort",dateField:"modified") see the : after sortaction! -m -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group. To

Sorry It was when I tried to add a comment above the macro that I threw the error. I need to study up on TW5 comment syntax. On Thursday, February 23, 2017 at 11:15:35 PM UTC-8, Daniel Cunningham wrote: > > Uhhh, scratch the "leading whitespace fragility" question. I need to > chase my own

Uhhh, scratch the "leading whitespace fragility" question. I need to chase my own sloppiness down... :-) On Thursday, February 23, 2017 at 10:34:03 PM UTC-8, Daniel Cunningham wrote: > > Hi Mark, > > Thanks for that follow-up! I'm beginning to see (thanks to you and Mario) > how this

Hi Mark, Thanks for that follow-up! I'm beginning to see (thanks to you and Mario) how this works. OK, so I now get how you can negate the sort order inside the macro (with a bang). And then I see from the docs that the way that expression evaluates is L-to-R via that "railroad" style

[tw] Re: (TW5) Problem with operator on: subfilter:"sort[created]" ?

Hi Daniel, Mario's syntax uses the macrocall widget, which is a somewhat more formal way of calling a macro that works better in some situations. The problem with the timeline macro is that it doesn't give you access to the sorting order (A/D), as you can see in this filter:

[tw] Re: (TW5) Problem with operator on: subfilter:"sort[created]" ?

Many thanks, Mario! I tried that, and it works. But rather than change a shadow tiddler, I elected to put in into a "end-user" tiddler, that I can then place in the sidebar with a "$:tags/SideBar" tag. That gives me the functionality I was looking for. Also, I won't shoot myself in the

So this line in the documentation is incorrect: [!is[system]$subfilter$has[modified]!sort[modified]limit[$limit$]eachday[ modified]] and should read instead [!is[system]$subfilter$has[$dateField$]!sort[$dateField$]limit[$limit$] eachday[$dateField$]] Mark On Wednesday, February 22, 2017 at

[tw] Re: (TW5) Problem with operator on: subfilter:"sort[created]" ?

A! Thanks much, Mark! I saw that documentation, but did not realize its implications. So, just to be clear, it's saying?... 1. look at stuff that's not a system tiddler; 2. filter anything that's got a "modified" field; 3. do a reverse sort on the "modified" date; 4. and

[tw] Re: (TW5) Problem with operator on: subfilter:"sort[created]" ?

Per the documentation, timeline uses this filter: [!is[system]$subfilter$has[modified]!sort[modified]limit[$limit$]eachday[ modified]] This means that a sort on the modified field is applied after the subfilter and will take precedence over a sort order specified in the subfilter. I guess I
