Thanks Tones, Yes tasks are not fixed , calls are.
What i really want from this is to push tasks around calls, with tasks being tiddlers tagged "tasks" ,and calls tiddlers tagged "calls". The idea was You create a new tiddler tagged "task", with a start date value in a start date field and end date,value in and end date field You go to a list which has all tasks and call tiddlers <------- i can do this one :) You get some visual queue that there is a conflict You hit a button , and the entire week schedule for tasks (and not calls) is pushed with the duration of the newly inserted task The schedule push for tasks will inevitably cause new conflicts with calls, which the script should resolve in the same above mentioned manner I have one question " All you need to store is the time frame they each take and the order in which they are listed," where and how would you store information ?to use later for checks/comparisons ? i am asking because i can only use tiddly wiki at the moment to display information only, but not store it :( also one more question, i have no codding background, what kind of information i should be reading to improve my ability for writing code in tiddly wiki , or perhaps for achieving this specific task i am after and finally, just out of curiosity if you know , are there people in the forum that can do work on commission?
