Zeroth day of the month in "It's about Time!" bug

I’m using the most excellent IAT plugin from @EricShulman, but from a while back, I’ve had this strange bug where calendars have a zero-day on months, which breaks the date alignment, the layout, etc.

Does anyone else have this problem? Is there a known way to fix it?

Thanks, Gabriel

I have not seen this bug before. However, I have a few questions that might lead to a solution:

  • What version of the TiddlyWiki core are you using?
  • What browser/platform?
  • What version of TiddlyTools/Time/Calendar?
  • Can you upload your specific TiddlyWiki file (e.g., to https://TiddlyHost.com)? If it contains personal information, we can make arrangements for you to send it to me (via email attachment) so I can try to debug it directly.

Also, note that ALL TiddlyTools add-ons (including the “It’s About Time” add-ons) are now distributed directly from https://TiddlyTools.com, and the individual file (i.e., It's About Time! — TiddlyTools: "Small Tools for Big Ideas!" (tm)) is no longer being maintained (that file was last updated on Sept 28, 2022 and is using TWCore v5.2.2).

Hi @EricShulman, thanks. I ran a git bisect and discovered that I broke the calendar when I installed https://groups.google.com/g/tiddlywiki/c/9hZTwQBuwe8/m/YlRPXrn0BQAJ (which is unfortunate because I like that streaks thing and have accumulated quite a lot of data for it). If I remove it again, the calendar works. I’ll play a bit on my side, No one has seen this bug because it’s my Frankenstein setup that causes it.

If you’re curious, I could prepare a version of my TW. But I’m shy to send you my raw instance because it’s huge and full of personal stuff. :stuck_out_tongue:

But otherwise, if I figure out something interesting from the debugging, I’ll post it here.

Very thankful for the rapid response. And thanks for the TiddlyTools link. I’m using the old version; seeing if I could upgrade is cool.

Also, thanks to @TW_Tones for the quick tip.

It turns out it was the embedded ebalster/formula plugin,

Probably this issue,

Luckily I upgraded to the latest on its GH repo, and the problem disappeared. (Phew!) And the streaks thing kept working. I’m a happy man!

Again, thanks for the support.

As you’ve noted, the problem was caused by EvanBalster’s FormulaPlugin. But it wasn’t caused the “off-by-one” date handling.

Rather, it was the existence of $:/plugins/ebalster/formula/filters/range.js which was overriding the TWCore range[] filter operator. The difference was that the range[] operator defined by FormulaPlugin was 0-based, while the range[] operator in the TWCore is 1-based.

Thus, in my Calendar’s showgrid() macro, where I use <$list filter="[range<dm>]" variable="dd"> to generate the dates in the monthly calendar grid display, Evan’s code added an extra “0” day to each month.

Fortunately, it appears that the most recent revision of FormulaPlugin (v0.2.5 - 3rd February 2018) no longer defines a custom range.js filter, so it doesn’t break usage of the TWCore range[] filter operator and thus allows proper functioning of TiddlyTools/Time/Calendar.

YAY!
