Hi Daniel,
Mario's syntax uses the macrocall widget, which is a somewhat more formal
way of calling a macro that works better in some situations.
The problem with the timeline macro is that it doesn't give you access to
the sorting order (A/D), as you can see in this filter:
[!is[system]$subfilter$has[$dateField$]*!**sort*[$dateField$]limit[$limit$]
eachday[$dateField$]]
You can't reach the *!sort* in the macro invocation. You can try putting
the following into a tiddler, which is modified from the original timeline
code:
\define timeline2(limit:"100",format:"DDth MMM YYYY",subfilter:"",dateField:
"modified")
<div class="tc-timeline">
<$list filter=
"[!is[system]$subfilter$has[$dateField$]sort[$dateField$]limit[$limit$]eachday[$dateField$]]"
>
<div class="tc-menu-list-item">
<$view field="$dateField$" format="date" template="$format$"/>
<$list filter=
"[sameday:$dateField${!!$dateField$}!is[system]$subfilter$sort[$dateField$]]"
>
<div class="tc-menu-list-subitem">
<$link to={{!!title}}>
<<timeline-title>>
</$link>
</div>
</$list>
</div>
</$list>
</div>
\end
<$macrocall $name="timeline2" subfilter="" format={{$:/language/
RecentChanges/DateFormat}} dateField="created"/>
It seemed to work in my quick test, though I didn't look at dates too
closely.
Good luck!
Mark
