Following up on answers to an earlier question of mine
<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/tiddlywiki/mBpOhZP5SVw>, I've torn
up and reinvented my daily to-do lists again — and run into a puzzling *new*
problem.
In a nutshell: I'm creating individual tiddlers for tasks I have to do for
various clients/customers/my wife. I use a macro (<<todolist>>) to print
out the running list of items on a per-client basis (e.g., <<todolist
TheBoss>>). I use a button and faux checklist to check off items from
these lists, tagging the tiddlers "√ done" and setting fields for
completion date and completion time.
In my daily journal tiddler, I use calls to another macro (<<donelist>>) to
record what I accomplished today. Each journal tiddler has a field named today
that contains that day's date in YYYY-0MM-0DD format (e.g., 2016-01-14).
The <<donelist>> macro uses <$list> to check for tasks whose completion
date is equal to the today field of the current tiddler.
Or, at least, that's how it's *supposed* to work.
Here's what the <<donelist>> macro definition looks like:
\define donelist(client on:{{!!today}})
!$client$
<$list filter="[!has[draft.of]tag[$client$]tag[tasks]tag[√
done]task_completiondate[$on$]sort[task_completiontime]sort[task_completiondate]]"
>
<<donelist-listitem $client$>>
</$list>
\end
You'll notice I've set it up to accept an optional secondary parameter, on,
because I sometimes want to call a list of things completed on a different
date. If I push the current date through in the macro call (e.g., <<donelist
TheBoss 2016-01-14>>), my list generates perfectly — but if I leave off
that parameter (<<donelist TheBoss>>) and count on the today field to
provide that value for the macro, the list fails to including anything.
The string from today is captured, and I can print it out via the macro —
but it seems to be failing in the filter.
$client$ works O.K. in the filter string, as do other parameters I pass
into <$list> filters elsewhere. but maybe TiddlyWiki isn't parsing
{{!!today}} in the filter definition? Can anyone confirm whether I'm
barking up the right tree — and maybe suggest an alternative?
