The following is a success! I also have the archives of the preceding failures if anyone wants to see them.
Good work Eric!! The following in TiddlyWiki syntax... Cheers, Andy !Objective I want TDWiki to open today's journal without manually setting the // Current Date// in the [[DefaultTiddlers]] tiddler. !Exploration I tried a number of variations on the instructions in http://tiddlywiki.org/wiki/Automatically_open_today%27s_journal_tiddler_on_startup: Basically, I could get it to modify DefaultTiddlers, but not with the requisite brackets to bring up the current journal. !Solution But finally, with changing this and that and escaping the brackets I ended up with the following instructions for [[DefaultTiddlersTweak]]: * Create a tiddler called [[DefaultTiddlersTweak]] * Enter the single line {{{ config.shadowTiddlers.DefaultTiddlers=new Date().formatString("\[\ ["+"0DD MMM YYYY"+"\]\]"); }}} Note that in addition to the source instructions the key is to "escape" the bracket characters and use the plus sign (not the ampersand) for concatenation. * DO add the {{{systemConfig}}} tag * Refresh ''THEN'' *TDWiki creates a new [[DefaultTiddlers]] containing {{{[[}}}//the current date//{{{]]}}} and opens that journal. Now all we need to do (!) is figure out how to add additional DefaultTiddler pages. I shall post this to Eric, since he may have further insights but wait a while to post it to blog. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
