Sleek interactive Floating Journal Calendar

[Mr.Red]

here is the event listener to evaluate the functions before inserting them to the page this way you can add functions to your template which will be then interpreted before applying them to your page:

event.listen {  
  name = "editor:pageCreating",  
  run = function(e)  
    if not e.data.name:startsWith("Journal/") then return end  
    local rawTemplate = space.readPage("Library/Custom/New_Journal_Template")  
    local tree = markdown.parseMarkdown(rawTemplate)  
    local expandedTree = markdown.expandMarkdown(tree)  
    local template = markdown.renderParseTree(expandedTree)  
    return { text = template, perm = "rw" }  
  end  
}

I’d prefer that to keep my stuff DRY. I’m just concerned about passing in the date of the clicked date, since the template page just uses date.today().

I still don’t understand why are you concerned on using date.today() in your template?

@thepaperpilot

The header, completed tasks, and checkins section all use the date.today() command when rendering the first time. Perhaps I could write the clicked date to the frontmatter and read from that instead?

Also I don’t understand what is the problem with that? don’t you want the creation timestamp to be used in your template? then don’t use date.today() in your template. don’t seem to grasp the issue.
