Hello!..
I have been using TW5 and following along the conversations on this group
in the background. Thank you everyone for the conversations. It helps me
use TW5 more efficiently.
There is an issue I have not figured out a solution. I am hoping someone
can help
This is the problem
I have a bunch of tasks that rotate on a daily basis - one task a weekday.
once a task is done, it gets added to the back of queue and becomes due
again on the weekday after the (previously) last task was done.
For e.g.
Mon Jan-23: Task 1
Tue Jan-24: Task 2
Wed Jan-25: Task 3
Thurs Jan-26: Task 4
Fri Jan-27: Task 5
Sat Jan-28 (weekend): No task
Sun Jan-29 (weekend): No task
Mon Jan-30: Task 6
Tue Jan-31: Task 7
Wed Feb-01: Task 1
Now, on the next week day (Feb-01) Task 1 will be due again. And it
continues the rotation. Task is not a simple one-liner -- but a bunch of
steps to be done. Each task is defined in it's own tiddler.
The number of tasks are fairly constant -- they probably change about 2-3
time a year. So, once the start day and list of tasks is known, it's pretty
predictable. I've not included holidays here -- but that could be treated
like a new start date at a particular point in the rotation.
I thought having a data tiddler with the first day for each task would work
pretty well -- once a rotation ends, I would manually update the
data-tiddler with new dates and keep updating once per rotation.
e.g.
01-23-M: {{Task1}}
01-24-T: {{Task 2}}
...
01-27-F: {{Task 5}}
01-30-M: {{Task 6}}
01-31-T: {{Task 7}}
This works pretty well thanks to the suggestions in this thread [TW5] Easy
way to display all values in a data tiddler
<https://groups.google.com/forum/#%21topic/tiddlywiki/sFseAO8cAJY>.
However, rather than display the whole table of tasks as described, I would
like to just see what is the task for today.
My questions:
1. Is there a way to filter index values (like 01-23-M) based on a dynamic
value (<<now mm-0DD>>)?
2. Instead of a table, how can I convert the example to a "tab" based
display with today's "tab" selected?
3. How could I approach avoiding to have to manually update the
data-tiddler once each rotation. i.e. limit the manual updates to only when
the rotation changes (i.e. task added or deleted) or when there are
holidays (perhaps vacation too)
BTW, I am using this in read-only mode.. i.e. I make my edits in emacs and
then assemble them with nodejs to push a single html file to a server.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
