So I have a couple buttons I borrowed from some other wikis for creating new tiddlers with specific tags and starting text. What I’m hoping to be able to do is send the current date as a hard link with the starting body text in order for the tiddler to be referenced in that days journal tiddler with TiddlyBlink.
I really only know enough to break things, but if anyone has tips or can point me in the right direction I’d appreciate it. For the first button, ideally after “Started: “ I’d be able to pass the current date as [[DD MMM YYYY]] or [[22 April 2020]]. I’ve tried using the <<now>> macro but can’t seem to get it to work through this button and the spaces in my date format throw it off elsewhere. I tried using Fields as well, but they create soft links so they don’t show up under the Reference section with TiddlyBlink. [Books Button](https://wiki.tiv.today/#Books) <$button tooltip="Add a book">Add a book <$action-createtiddler $basetitle='New Book' text='by Started: Finished: --- !! Quotes' tags='Books' $savetitle='$:/.user/CreateBook!!newBook' /> For the second button, I copied the New Journal button to create two tiddlers (second one below) and was able to get the date through to the body text (<<journalTexx>>), but can’t figure out how to have brackets come through with it to create a hard link automatically. [Start the Day](https://wiki.tiv.today/#Table%20of%20Contents) <$vars journalTitleTemplate=%24%3A/config/NewTDL/Title journalTags=%24%3A/config/NewTDL/Tags%21%21tags journalText=%24%3A/config/NewTDL/Text> <$wikify name="journalTexx" text="""<$macrocall $name="now" format=<<journalText>>/>"""> <$wikify name="journalTitle" text="""<$macrocall $name="now" format=<<journalTitleTemplate>>/>"""> <$reveal type="nomatch" state=<<journalTitle>> text=""> <$action-sendmessage $message="tm-new-tiddler" title=<<journalTitle>> tags=<<journalTags>> text=%7B%20%5B%3CjournalTitle%3Eget%5B%5D%5D%20}/> </$reveal> <$reveal type="match" state=<<journalTitle>> text=""> <$action-sendmessage $message="tm-new-tiddler" title=<<journalTitle>> tags=<<journalTags>> text=<<journalTexx>>/> </$reveal> </$wikify> </$wikify> </$vars> Lastly, I don’t expect an easy answer for this one, but I wanted to see if anyone was aware of a plug-in that would allow for a calendar date picker to insert a hard linked date like the above, either through a button in the text editor (like the Stamp) or in some magical way through buttons similar to the above. I’m trying to figure out the easiest way to insert future dates in the body of my task tiddlers [here](https://wiki.tiv.today/#Tasks).
