Eric, Once again thanks for taking this to a complete solution.
I found a method to create a very simple date picker attached, that
returns a tiddlywiki serial number date, drop it on a wiki and put the
following in a tiddler
simple-date: <<select-date simple-date>><br>
<<delete-date simple-date>><br>
<<simple-date simple-date 0DD.0MM.YYYY>><br>
Start-date: <<date-field start-date "DDth of MMM, YYYY">>
Its not finished but I think you will like the mechanism I am making use of
\define select-date(fieldname)
<$set name=date-field value="$fieldname$" emptyValue="date-field">
<$edit-text tiddler="$:/temp/date" type=date tag="input" />
<$list filter="[{$:/temp/date}!is[blank]]" variable=nul>
<$button tooltip={{{ [[$fieldname$]addprefix[Set ]addsuffix[ to selected
date]] }}} actions=<<set-date-actions>> >
<$list filter="[all[current]has<date-field>]" emptyMessage="Set"
variable=nul>Reset</$list>
</$button>
</$list>
</$set>
\end
Using the
- type=date tag="input" on the edit-text widget
- Saving the the result to a temp field
- I need to make this temp tiddler qualified by the fieldname, to
stop simultaneous popups
- Converting the temp field to tiddlywiki date serial (Noon used)
Similar options may exist for time
I expect I will publish this for users not buying into your full date
solution, to simply improve date picking.
Question
- It requires a set button, have you another way to trigger the actions,
after selecting a date in the popup I can use?
*But I will add your, facility is very usable.*
Dreaming
- I wonder if there is any javascript that allows one to set a time by
dragging the hands on a clock, or on a list like google calendars?
*Love you work, really, really.*
Regards
Tones
