[tw5] Re: A quiet Date

[@TiddlyTweeter]

Ciao S.S. 

Ohhh. *Very exciting*! I'm testing.

I think its good piece of work in a bunch of ways. Not least its nicely 
useful and shed's a lot of light on TW date workings that is very helpful.

The Godzilla size *regex* is also interesting. I was surprised to see a 
regex being able to do, in practice, "validation". Its not really designed 
for doing things that you'd normally use calculation for. GodzillaDateReg 
I'll play with to check the matching.

Both PMario and TonyM gently warned me in the thread I started, you refer 
to, to not mess with Mother's Creation dates. Likely they are right. But 
I'll play with it more yet.

I'll comment back later.

Best wishes
Josiah

I'm glad Josiah made a post yesterday:  Query -- Changing creation date in 
a human actionable way? -- #creationDate 


I thought, of course this <> macro can do it! But it couldn't!!

Reason: The date result was being output in block mode, and the 
$action-setfield widget was not accepting it.

It took a while to figure that out. The fix was to remove all spaces and 
line breaks in 3 macros. Makes horrible reading - but now it works!

So, attached is v1.03 with those fixes, along with a macro to change the 
created date of a tiddler.
I'm not going to tell Josiah his answer is here - so even though it doesn't 
have a regex tag, he'll have to read it to get it  !!!

Change Field using date Macro.tid
Description: Binary data


date Macro ver.1.03.tid
Description: Binary data

[tw5] Re: A quiet Date

[S. S.]

Well, 

I was playing with the Set Widget Tester for attribute precedence 
 
tiddler that I posted a few days ago, and realized that in the *$set* 
widget, the *field* attribute takes precedence over the *index* attribute, 
so perhaps it would be too difficult to add in the *index* parameter to the 
*date 
Macro*, which really was an oversight as data tiddlers are such an integral 
part of TiddlyWiki.

And so it was easy, with just a minor tweak to 2 lines of the code! Took 
the opportunity to brush up a little, with the following changes:

   1. Corrected mistakes in the  Examples section, Macro column: removed 
   redundant sep parameter. Changed *date* to *invalid-date* 
   2. Changed some single quote delimiters to triple 
   3. Added fields for version number & issues & release-notes
   4. Added missing *empty-message* field to "set to default" macro 
   5. Added *code-black* style for  
   6. Added *index* parameter & its documentation

So here it is - version 1.02 attached below :
 
The date macro takes a string in a Common Date Format and returns it in a 
specified Date Format.

Regards

 Great job!  well documented.

[tw5] Re: A quiet Date

[TonyM]

S S,

Nice work and nicely documented. This certainly addresses a gap in date 
handling with formats similar to those used for new journal entries, I 
think it will suit many users. 

It will take time for me to decide if I would adopt it on a regular basis 
because I have favored using the full tiddlywiki serial number to represent 
dates. For example my new journal process adds a journal-date field to 
enable more sophisticated search and selection of journal entries. However 
it is nice to know if I want to go down the alternative "simplified" dates 
path you have provided the means to do so.

*A Suggestion:* Use a json bundle to pack the macro and move everything 
that is displayed in the "date Macro" tiddler to another tiddler. The 
reason I say this is the act of adding the $:/tags/Macro tag will include 
the whole tiddler (Although not visible) every time a tiddler is displayed, 
it is like the importvariables process see 
https://tiddlywiki.com/#ImportVariablesWidget. 
Sure it seems to have no clear impact in a small wiki but it is not the 
optimum design approach. If you still want the documentation displayed when 
opening "date Macro" you can do a little test, if currentTiddler="date 
Macro" transclude the doco tiddler, otherwise do not.

Love your work, and thanks for sharing
Tony
