Just a note on this;
I make use of the non unique title to return to the same journal tiddler every day all day. I then tend to add content in that tiddler, and with a timestamp if I need
But I understand if you want more than one Journal tiddler a day, and when using new journal here you would want to have new journal tiddlers include the hours and minutes.
- I would think making only the new Journal here button append the hours and minutes and possibly seconds, would leave the New journal button to create a single today tiddler. that is done modify Title of new journal tiddlers only modify the title used in the new here. See below.
- The method I use incorporates a version of erics solution by prefixing the title at the last moment.
Another thing I do is on any wiki making use of journal entries is to include in all tiddlers created by Journal buttons is to set a field journal-date to the time/date stamp it was created. This makes subsequent listing easy regardless of what you name (or rename) the tiddler.
- Simply add
journal-date=<<now [UTC]YYYY0MM0DD0hh0mm0ss0XXX>>to the tm-new-tiddler
Here are the detailed instructions
- $:/core/ui/Buttons/new-journal-here < actions here modify once for journal-date
- The New Journal here title is currently set to
title=<<journalTitle>> - If we modify it as follows
title={{{ [<journalTitle>addprefix<now "0hh:0mm, ">] }}}- It will prefix the standard journal title with hours and minutes (you can change this format)
- If you do new journal here more than once in the same minute it will reopen the tiddler.
- $:/core/ui/Buttons/new-journal do the same as journal-date above but in the next tiddler
- $:/core/ui/Actions/new-journal < actions here modify twice for journal-date
Here is this done on top of tiddlywiki 5.3.3
new-journal-date-timestamp-here.json (2.5 KB)
However this overwrites the core tiddlers, so I will return with a better solution soon.
It makes the configuration of unique tiddlers when using the new journal here, via a custom prefix. Eg unique for day, am/pm, hour, minutes and seconds.
- It otherwise uses all the journal coustomisation settings
I have published a package for this to the community New journal buttons - an improved approach to Journaling
