Productivity Guru is a great resource on YouTube with his video on Templater and Date formats. I have been playing with Date formats since I watched his video earlier today

For your christmas example I get PTO.159S

Try the one further down below.

Or, the better one:

<%+* let edate = moment("12-24", "MM-DD"); let from = moment().startOf('day'); edate.diff(from, "days") >= 0 ? tR += edate.diff(from, "days") : tR += edate.add(1, "year").diff(from, "days") %>

which takes into consideration that Christmas this year might already have passed.

Or even:

<!-- Days until any "MM-DD" date this year/next year with "TODAY" -->
<%+* let edate = moment("12-24", "MM-DD"); let from = moment().startOf('day'); edate.diff(from, "days") >= 0 ? edate.diff(from, "days") == 0 ? tR += "It’s today!" : tR += edate.diff(from, "days") : tR += edate.add(1, "year").diff(from, "days") %>

Will do once I get my windows sync with iCloud working again. Actually I believe now it is totally corrupted and I can only use my iPad or phone to work with Obsidian. Then all the templates do not work because of it being the private beta version.

It’s been super helpful to incorporate these into my regular reviews & my workflow. Any idea how I could list the weekly notes in each month’s note?
I know how to list the daily notes for that month, and the monthly notes for that year, but not the weeks. I’m doing weekly notes in the format GGGG-[W]WW, yielding e.g. 2021-W38

In case anyone else needs to do this, @shabegom suggested this answer which works great:

const currentMonthDates = new Array(moment(tp.file.title,'YYYY-MM').endOf('month').week() - moment(tp.file.title, 'YYYY-MM').startOf('month').week() + 1).fill(null).map((x, i) => moment(tp.file.title,'YYYY-MM').startOf('month').add(i, 'weeks').format("- ![[gggg-[W]ww[]]]")).join('\r\n') %>
<%* tR +=  currentMonthDates %>

Hi all,

Is it possible to create a time-blocking list of 15 minute increments, something like;

e.g. if the current time is 08:51, I might want to start my time blocking at 09:00

- <% tp.date.now("HH:mm", +x min) %>
- <% tp.date.now("HH:mm", +15 min) %>
- <% tp.date.now("HH:mm", +30 min) %>
- <% tp.date.now("HH:mm", +45 min) %>
- <% tp.date.now("HH:mm", +60 min) %>

one would just need to insert the adjustment time x, and it would be a nice little focus prompt alongside a pomodoro timer.

thanks!

Hey @dryice! I’ve actually once written two complete moment.js addons for rounding date/time and generating date/time intervals. These are a little more complicated and not so easy to add to Obsidian, so here are two simpler solutions, maybe one of these fits your bill:

Very simple (and ugly) solution without Javascript:

- <% moment().add(15-(moment().minute()%15),'minutes').startOf('minute').format('HH:mm') %>
- <% moment().add(15-(moment().minute()%15),'minutes').startOf('minute').add(15, 'minutes').format('HH:mm') %>
- <% moment().add(15-(moment().minute()%15),'minutes').startOf('minute').add(30, 'minutes').format('HH:mm') %>

Simple solution using Javascript:

<%*
let start = moment().add(15-(moment().minute()%15),'minutes').startOf('minute');
tR += "- " + start.format('HH:mm') + "  \n";
// moment.js dates are mutable, so always only add 15 mins!
tR += "- " + start.add(15, 'minutes').format('HH:mm') + "  \n";
tR += "- " + start.add(15, 'minutes').format('HH:mm') + "  \n";
%>

It is assumed that both of these are saved as a Templater template in the template folder, and inserted upon request (Alt+E).

Result (for both) should be (at 19:58:17):

  • 20:00
  • 20:15
  • 20:30

Many thanks, both solutions work perfectly, and yes, the second is nice and tidy! :ok_hand:
Have a lovely weekend!

Hello @Moonbase59 – I’m reading through this read and this is a wealth of knowledge. You’re a true tinkerer. I’m running into trouble and wanted to see if you saw something I was doing simply wrong or if you knew of a smart way to achieve this.

I’m looking to dynamically link all the months in a quarter, depending on the quarter. As such, I was planning on writing something like:

 <%* if (tp.date.quarter() == "1") { %>
- 2021-1
- 2021-2
- etc
<%* } %>

However, I’m getting Templater Error: Template parsing error, aborting. tp.date.quarter is not a function.

I’ve also tried to use tp.date.now().quarter(), but get a similar error.

Am I doing something wrong? I thought that Templater exposed the entire Moment object and methods?

Thanks in advance for your help!

@ScottKillen has a terrific “if-else if” example using the Templater plugin that may be able to help you. use-the-templater-plugin-to-create-repeating-tasks-on-future-or-past-daily-notes

@musa Try moment().format("Q")…

#53

Dynamic Commands
Why would:

<%+ tp.file.last_modified_date("YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss") %>

not work in frontmatter but in the body of a note it works perfectly well?

#54

Did you ever figure out how to get the months in the quarter to work?
