Folks, Since this discussion thread is about " How to build recurring tasks in existing tiddlers? I just want to post something I discovered recently and it may provide help dealing with reoccurring items in the future, consider it an algorithm only, you will need to build the solution.
Create a field in your tiddlers (as needed) to store a date, provide a method to set that field to now, effectively a time-stamp. In this example lets call it monthly-review Separately create one or more view/report tiddlers that lists tiddlers with a time stamp that is older than today less the required review period (in this case one month ago, or last month) This will list all tiddlers who have not being revisited in the required period, open them to action them and update the time stamp, they will then be removed from the list as their last time-stamp period from now is less than the review period. Some advantages This has a positive advantage that the view/report tiddlers are where all the action takes place and you can quickly alter your query and time frames without touching the tiddlers themself. The existence of a particular field in a tiddler indicates you want it in that review period, an empty value is a new item, you must action The field with a time stamp indicates when it was last done, so if it was not done this period, it will persist next period, never lost if you skipped a period You can future date a tiddlers time stamp so it appears in a future review period rather than the next one. This is a quality of the tiddler, not the view report mechanism If this approach sounds interesting please provide some feedback. I am building a solution that I will publish for "tiddler disposition handling" for which reoccurring items is but one feature. Unfortunately with International and national travel on my calendar this may not be until late April. Can anyone think of a better name that "tiddler disposition handling", this remains the best I have identified, however I doubt many will get the idea, or notice it from this title.
