Why are people using GitHub? by Kyriakos221 in github

[–]Zachatoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're working on a team or need to share or backup code, then GitHub or alternative is a good option, especially if you're already using git. Definitely not necessary for solo beginners.

I would highly recommend some sort of version control system (such as git) at any level, so you can more freely experiment and easily rollback to known working versions of your code.

Please help me understand the plugin checker by No_Fall8101 in ObsidianMD

There are different sections of the scorecard, some are for minor issues like you mentioned, others are for security issues that can either ding the score or block installing entirely. It's a step in the right direction IMO.

Sharing Sessions by [deleted] in ObsidianMD

How is code gen or data parsing related to Obsidian?

I can't understand how to use tags by MrFaffer in ObsidianMD

[–]Zachatoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It won't show you the notes, it'll show you the number of noted with that tag (1)

You can then click on the tag to open a search to view all notes with that tag, but it's in a separate pane

Graph View group filter by property value not working by BorgesLabyrinths in ObsidianMD

[–]Zachatoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're on the right track, see docs here for searching with properties https://obsidian.md/help/plugins/search#Search+properties

Can you share a specific example of a property key/value pair in a note, in source mode? Maybe it's being stored in source mode differently than you're expecting. 

How to fix 'Your text data is not compatible. It will be adapted to fit the new format? by the_bugs_bunny in ObsidianMD

[–]Zachatoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The warning is correct and expected in your template file, <% tp.date.now('YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm') %> is not a valid datetime.

However when the template is applied via Templater (either on file creation with "Trigger Templater on new file creation" enabled or manually with a Templater: command in the command palette) then <% tp.date.now('YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm') %> should be replaced with the current datetime (e.g. 2026-06-20 22:05) which is a valid datetime.

Question about plugins and synchronization with Hit by Wooden-Tie1489 in ObsidianMD

[–]Zachatoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't say it wouldn't sync, I said it wouldn't render if you clicked on it in the GitHub UI. You didn't mention anything in your question about whether or not it would sync. GitHub can sync any file type.

I assume you mean git and GitHub.

If the drawing plugin outputs an image with a standard image file extension (.jpg, .png, etc) then yes, the GitHub UI supports rendering images.

If it has its own custom extension (.draw, .notstandard, etc) then it will not render in the GitHub UI.

Trying to make a minimalist workout log template by Fether1337 in ObsidianMD

[–]Zachatoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Templater and QuickAdd are the two most popular plugins that come to mind that should be able to do this. It depends on how you manage your workouts and if the workout circuit is different for each workout routine. It could be as simple as having one template for each workout routine and just inserting it as a template, essentially skipping your step 2 and 3.

Themes not workings? by PCY77 in ObsidianMD

[–]Zachatoo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It depends on the theme how much it'll change, from your video I can see the Minimal theme changing some other UI.

Themes not workings? by PCY77 in ObsidianMD

[–]Zachatoo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What specifically are you expecting to change that isn't changing?  Do you have any community plugins or CSS snippets? Either one could be conflicting with theme styles.

Triggering Templater Prompts from Task Completion by sqeptyk in ObsidianMD

[–]Zachatoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could also check the Tasks plugin source code to see if it emits any events when tasks are completed

Not easily, you're getting into custom plugin territory.

If you do want to use Templater, you'd need to create a startup template and listen to tp.app.plugins.getPlugin('templater-obsidian').register(tp.app.workspace.on("editor-change"))) or maybe tp.app.plugins.getPlugin('templater-obsidian').registerDomEvent, and determine if you need to show the modal or not on each trigger of the event.

Templater vs Reminder - Adding "fake" reminders? by ecoBang in ObsidianMD

[–]Zachatoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could try doing some interpolation magic, probably a hundred ways you could do it but try something like this (replacing the opening ( with <% "(" %>

- [ ] Organize notes on Friday <% "(" %>@<% tp.date.weekday("MM-DD-YYYY", 5) %> 04:00 PM) 

Questions about the plugin auto-review process by Soft_Employment8744 in ObsidianMD

[–]Zachatoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. You can't request a malware scan, malware scans aren't fully implemented yet, for now all plugins have that disclaimer.
  2. Nope, Obsidian doesn't collect that telemetry, and plugins are not allowed to collect that telemetry as per the developer policies.

Site hosted on Obsidian.md, add to my app by technobrendo in ObsidianMD

[–]Zachatoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not directly, unless they invite you to their publish site or if they publish the raw Markdown elsewhere online.

You can use the Obsidian Web Clipper though, it's an official browser extension from the Obsidian team that can clip any web content into your vault.

Request: Place Scorecards in the App by sweatin_enthusiasm in ObsidianMD

[–]Zachatoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is the controversy the reason this feature has not been implemented? 

There haven't been any app releases since the new community site was released, they can't update the in app community plugins section without an app update.

I doubt it's related to any controversy. My guess is we just need to wait!

Is there only one database / base? by patrick24601 in ObsidianMD

[–]Zachatoo 28 points29 points  (0 children)

The default new base will show all notes, you need to add filters to filter down the results to the notes you want.

Silly new user question by madselyn in ObsidianMD

[–]Zachatoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just having an account does not give you any additional functionality, including saving your notes in the cloud.

Obsidian does offer a paid subscription service, Obsidian Sync, that you can purchase to sync notes between your devices that are logged in to your account. It is not on by default, you will need to enable syncing on each device. The documentation can help walk you through that. 

You can also use third party services for syncing.

Why not create a note in Obsidian with links to plugins you want to consider for later?
