Eric/all,
Glad I could teach you something for a change, you are always teaching me
something, thanks for expanding this knowledge to include the tiddlers
widget.
All,
So just to be clear a revolutionary approach here we can use variable dates
to view Widget
should look like this
Working examples on tiddlywiki.com, added to top post.
\define var-date() 19230217
<$set name=today-date value="20200731">
<$set name=formatted-date value="2020/31/07">
<$wikify name=field-date text="{{!!field-date}}">
Format variable date <$list filter=<<var-date>> >
<$view field=title format="date" template="YYYY-0MM-0DD"/>
</$list>
or
Tomorrow <$list filter="[<today-date>add[1]]" >
<$view field=title format="date" template="YYYY-0MM-0DD"/>
</$list>
or
Yesterday <$list filter="[<today-date>subtract[1]]" >
<$view field=title format="date" template="YYYY-0MM-0DD"/>
</$list>
or
Formatting <<formatted-date>> to
<$list filter="[<formatted-date>split[/]join[]]" >
<$view field=title format="date" template="YYYY-0MM-0DD"/>
</$list>
Or
>From field as variable <$tiddler tiddler=<<field-date>> >
<$view field=title format="date" template="YYYY-0MM-0DD"/>
</$tiddler>
</$wikify></$set></$set>
Regards
Tony
