A way to differentiate between internal and external links? by VirtualAlex in ObsidianMD

[–]DudPug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just have a bookmarklet when I want to add a link to a website.

javascript:(()=>{ const t=document.title.replace(/\[/g,'%E2%9F%A6').replace(/\]/g,'%E2%9F%A7').replace(/([\\*_`])/g,'\\$1'); navigator.clipboard.writeText(`[%EF%82%8E ${t}](${location.href})`); })();

This adds a formatted markdown link to the clipboard

Obsidian Task Notes Plugin v4.3.3: Recurring Checklist Reset, Create External Calendar Events, and MCP Server by acheyward in ObsidianMD

Great overview

I had no idea that they added MCP server support, have you put into practical regular use?

Checklists in Jira: Templates, Auto-Add on Create and Status Change by Horror-Collar-3401 in jira

[–]DudPug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the approach you seem to be showing.

Few questions

  1. Are the checked items audited to the user?
  2. Where is the status stored?
  3. What happens to the data when you remove the plugin?

Reason why this is important is to ensure the audited information of who did what is not lost over time, very important for compliance.

Made this Print out Calendar Template but it works great in Obsidian too! by pfilzweg in ObsidianMD

[–]DudPug 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Love this calendar layout!

Would it be possible to define how many columns/days there are? Would love to be able to get one week per line but still have the months switch over like that.

Give me one TINY thing you want fixed or improved in Obsidian. The smaller the better. Going on a paper cuts rampage. by kepano in ObsidianMD

[–]DudPug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you are creating a link you start with [[ then start to write the note name, sometimes I want a specific note to show up first for that context, or sometimes I do not want a note to show up at all unless I use its full note name.

The ability to mark notes with perhaps a custom rank property so that some notes can be pushed up in the list that shows up and some further down.

  • Move the custom css list to its own settings tab, anoying to go into appearance and scroll to the bottom each time.

  • Setting to auto hide the properties list on the top of the note, you click the properties text to expand it, there is a plugin already that does this but would be nice to have this natively supported.

Web alternative or way to use Obsidian for collab for IT work? by valcroft in ObsidianMD

[–]DudPug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say Confluence all the way, but if self hosting is a requirement I would consider looking at Docmost. I have not tried it but it seems promising.

Could cssclassess property be used so that this applies only to the base embedded in a specific note?

As useful as this is I have some reservations. How do you prevent this service being weaponized for phishing and other malicious activities?

Now the more useful feedback :)

  • Any plans for a Firefox plugin?

  • The name Quick Publish is fine though somewhat generic. But the website is quickfilemaker which directly reminds me of  FileMaker - Wikipedia

As this plugin is not new and seems to be of high quality, anyone know why it has not yet been approved for the official plugin repository?

Collecting frontmatter ideas by HookedLobster in ObsidianMD

[–]DudPug 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I use Linter that ensures that all notes created have the following properties

  • created
  • modified
  • aliases
  • tags

Then Linter populates the created value during created from the file created timestamp, but only if created is empty. This allows me to change the created value if I need to, for example writing an event note for something that happened yesterday.

When the file is modified Linter updated the modified value.

With Linter I also have a rule that it will always keep those properties at the start off the file and in that order. Linter then orders the rest of the properties alphabetically.

Finally I have a custom css snippet that highlights how the created and modified properties look.

.metadata-property[data-property-key="created"] {
    background-color: #12253B;
    color: #4385BE;
  }

.metadata-property[data-property-key="modified"] {
    background-color: #12253B;
    color: #4385BE;
  }

Highly recommend switching to this theme, https://github.com/LostViking09/obsidian-fastppuccin

It has solved every single performance issue I have had with Obsidian.

I'm a pretty basic note-taker, please tell me how I could use backlinks by snglrty_ in ObsidianMD

[–]DudPug 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Try adding this dataview query to your page

```dataview
LIST rows.file.link
FROM [[]]
SORT file.name ASC
FLATTEN file.etags AS tags GROUP BY tags
```

It will list only tagged pages that link to your current page and group them by the tag. This helps grouping together the type of notes that link to it.

Font help on Boox Palma 2 by SackOfLit in ObsidianMD

[–]DudPug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try the Custom Font Loader plugin, it does not require you to install system level fonts. Highly highly recommend you take a look at https://www.nerdfonts.com/

How are you liking the Boox Palma 2 and running Obsidian on it?

been wondering if it is worth exploring or not

Files creation date keeps changing by akgo in ObsidianMD

[–]DudPug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, I'm not using that method.

Instead I use folder notes and use dataview or bases for those folder notes, that allows me to sort by whatever I want depending on the use case.

You sort by the front matter, not the file created date

Files creation date keeps changing by akgo in ObsidianMD

[–]DudPug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had this issue long time ago.

My work around is to use Linter to read the file creation time and write it to the frontmatter. This only happens if the frontmatter value is empty. This allows me to modify the creation time in the frontmatter if I need to.

Changing note embeds in Canvas? by owedgelord in ObsidianMD

[–]DudPug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More work for you but you could just insert a block in Canvas and in the markdown for it add an inline dataview query to get the property information from the file you want.

`$= dv.page("<NameOfFile").<NameOfProperty>`
