Hello Tony, thanks for your nice answer :-) I understand what you mean and I really would like to do it like this. But I have fear, when the wiki makes problems one time in the future and the reason would be because of the size of ToDoNow, I would then have to edit hundreds of tiddlers My

Surya, I understand the difficulties you are facing, my point on the space issue is do not concern yourself until you experience the problems you fear. It is not possible to to give a clear statement about TiddlyWiki working sizes as there are many variables, since mobile use is somewhat new

Hello all, I have been experimenting a lot again. My ambition to find the perfect solution & to learn raised again... @Mark and Stef: maybe I'll come back to your suggested solutions. At the moment I experiment again with ToDoNow. @Tony: I have been asking (I think even more than one time)

Hi Tony, Maybe size is not limiting you, but I have two tiddlywikies about 10 mb and problems running them on my computer. Tiddlywiki is in it self growing, and I really want a language plugin also. I just updated a tiddlywiki that was about 1½ year old. Afterwards it was 1.1mb bigger. So

Surya, Your concern about saving space! is this a perception or do you have real evidence of the wiki being too large? I never worry about this and have not hit any limitations so far. It is the data such as images or thousands of records that threaten to make a wiki too large, much less the

Hi Mark, ahhh, okay :-) Sounds nice, looks nice :-) But, it increases the size of my wiki a lot- I just tested it again. I will stay with my solution :-) When editing my field "due", it feels like "Oh that's a really very unsophisticated solution". But it's easy & fast to edit (in most cases

If you really want to have 2 fields then just use 2 input fields in your Input tiddler. The advantage of the datepicker plugin is that it stores dates in TW5 format. Then you can use a view widget like: <$view field="myfield" format="date" template="DD. MMM YY" /> to display the field in your

Hi Tony, thanks for your answer. But I don't want a plugin (except it is really small in size), in order to keep my wiki as small as possible to avoid problems. I had already the datepicker, but I couldn't find any advantage in using it compared to my solution I have now. I write now in the

Use datepicker to enter or select dates from a popup calendar, it's really cool. You can even allow time selection if you want. The resulting field will contain a TW date just like created and modified. The all the plugins can handle these dates, including Evans formula plugin with a little

H, I have this in the Task-Tiddlers: <$edit-text tiddler=<> field="due"/> That shows me the value of the field "due" and I can edit the value in this shown field in vew mode. It is automatically saved. In this field I have for example the value "18.01.01". I added <$view format=DD-MM-YY>

What Tony is saying, and I agree, is to use something like the datepicker plugin or the <> macro (with the [UTC]0MM0DD0hh0mm0ssXXX option) to save your dates. Then use <$view format=...> to display your dates however you want. If you store your dates in native TW5 format you will find more
