I want to start doing something like this. Tried your template, but the date is not filling in the Title field, it's just on the first line of the note... Do I need to do something special to make it work?

An easy daily calendar, structure your day :slight_smile:

Hi @dfwdraco76 which one is not working for you?

Sorry, I replied to the journal one, didn't realize the forum wasn't more specific about the reply.

Here's how it shows for me -- the title field is blank

Have you tried to fill in one of the journal items? After filling in please select a different note in Joplin. Please let me know what happens? Regards, Winko

I created a test note, exported to markdown, and see that there's no special identifier for the title/subject - it's just the first line.

So I'm not sure why it's not bringing it in that way when I use the template

UPDATE: As soon as I start typing in the note, the date pops up into the title field. Sorry to bother you!

No harm was done :smiley: I guess that is the way Joplin works... I hope you enjoy the template(s)!!! Regards, Winko

Good to know while handling templates within Joplin. :thinking: I write my templates in a plain text editor. :thinking:

I made some more templates and I have found a different way of sharing them with the world. You can find them here:

So have fun and enjoy yourself!

Regards,

Well done.

After adding a new template to Joplin (made easy by menu item Help/Open Profile Directory), you can avoid a restart of Joplin by activating the menu item File/Templates/Refresh Templates

Thanks for sharing!

I work on a lot of disparate stuff in a day. Here is my template which I keep in a Daily Notes notebook. I use the Quick Links plug in to link to my long term projects and jump back and forth etc.
Daily Notes.md (339 Bytes)

Here are a couple of templates I use for calculating date offsets, e.g. "Calculate the date 7 weeks from such-and-such a date". The resulting date is inserted into the note.

The templates require Templates plugin v3.0.0

When the template is inserted in a note, a dialogue asks:

  • Do you want to calculate the offset using days, weeks, months, or years?
  • What date do you want to work with?
  • What period of time do you want to offset (negative numbers will calculate past offset from your selected date)?

The only difference between the two is the output format:

:date: Offset friendly inserts the date in the format: 2nd June, 2020

:date: Offset ISO 8601 inserts the date in the format: 2020-06-02

It should be fairly straightforward to adjust them to another format you would prefer (these just happen to be the formats I use a lot)

Here's a couple of very simple templates, both easy to customise.

  • Change the background colour of a note from a selection of seven colours
  • Insert coloured blocks of text into notes
