Mohamad, Unfortunately with this kind of project the "devil is in the details". What I suggest before proceeding is to really think about what you want from this. For example if inserting an item pushes future items away then they were not really (fixed) scheduled but placed in a queue which you are happy to reorder. All you need to store is the time frame they each take and the order in which they are listed, and you can re-generate your time spaced list.
I wanted to do something similar so if I delay start of one activity, or take longer/shorter in one task, this change is reflected in updating my schedule. - What I suggest is create items with a date and the estimated length of task and maintain an ordered list of these. Simply determine the start and end times dynamically. Basically the last end time plus the length of the current. - Any given booking could have an enforced start time and/or end times set, and you will need to handle the impact of these. - One tip, is the smartest part of your computer or mobile, the operating system, tiddlywiki etc.. is still you. If you make it easy for yourself, visual etc... you can implement quite sophisticated methods yourself even without automation, and any way you may want control of your destiny. - By the way don't be too preciouses about the hours as they relate to a date, you can just manage a separate hour field on a day in question. I will see if I can give this some further thought Tones On Wednesday, 14 July 2021 at 11:16:06 UTC+10 [email protected] wrote: > Hi, > > OK , i confess, i cant hack this , i don't think i have the necessary > skill to do what i want.. > > what i really want is a schedule where i can scooch over appointments to > fit one in between existing ones , I think it would be a useful tool for > anyone who hectic scheduled and is constantly required to reschedule > appointments ,calls or tasks > > so if you think this is easy , or if you are remotely interested that > would be great, if not, i am still very grateful for your help either way:) > > My Idea was displaying a weeks schedule in a list filter where every > tiddler listed is a task with a start field value and end date field value, > and tagged "task"... which i can do easily > > then in parallel. have another schedule . again , represented in a list > filter , but every tiddler listed is a "Call"with with a start date field > value and and end date field value , and tagged call > > and the whole idea is to have some mechanism to work as follows > > 1-if a call is added in a non vacant slot , then push all tasks with a > value equal to the duration of the call > 2-if a new task is added in a non vacant slot, then push all tasks with > a value equal to the duration of the task > > where > vacant slot = a time space where a tiddler can only hold a start date and > an end date value that are not overlapping with in other tiddlers tagged > call or task > non vacant slot= a time space where an existing tiddler already occupies > Duration of a call or duration of a task = is the difference between the > start and end date field values > Tasks = tiddlers tagged task > Calls = tiddlers tagged Call > > and > > calls cannot over lap with other calls > tasks cannot over lap with other tasks > Calls cannot over lap with tasks > > also this all assumes there is a start and end and for a working day/week > IE. 9 to 5 excluding sat and sunday > > is this generally speaking achievable in tiddly wiki ? > > > > On Tuesday, July 13, 2021 at 12:05:56 AM UTC+2 paulgilbert2000 wrote: > >> Thanks again :) >> >> On Monday, July 12, 2021 at 4:07:08 AM UTC+2 Eric Shulman wrote: >> >>> On Sunday, July 11, 2021 at 2:07:23 PM UTC-7 [email protected] >>> wrote: >>> >>>> 1-can i have this macro work for 2 fields at the same time , so same >>>> button pushes an hour for 2 fields >>>> >>> >>> Just replicate the code to adjust each field, like this: >>> <$button> add an hour >>> <$vars time={{!!field1}} offset="+01:00"> >>> <$wikify name="newtime" text=<<adjust_time>>> >>> <$action-setfield field1=<<newtime>> /> >>> </$wikify> >>> </$vars> >>> <$vars time={{!!field2}} offset="+01:00"> >>> <$wikify name="newtime" text=<<adjust_time>>> >>> <$action-setfield field2=<<newtime>> /> >>> </$wikify> >>> </$vars> >>> </$button> >>> >>> >>>> 2- can this work for all fields tagged a particular tag , so for >>>> example list all tiddlers matching a criteria , then one push of a button >>>> adds an hour to all listed tidlers >>>> >>> >>> The code works with a field from the current tiddler, so if you put it >>> within a $list widget that finds all the desired tiddlers, it will update >>> all the tiddlers with one button push: >>> <$button> add an hour >>> <$list filter="[tag[sometag]]"> >>> <$vars time={{!!somefield}} offset="+01:00"> >>> <$wikify name="newtime" text=<<adjust_time>>> >>> <$action-setfield somefield=<<newtime>> /> >>> </$wikify> >>> </$vars> >>> </$list> >>> </$button> >>> >>> enjoy, >>> -e >>> >> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
