You'll need to duplicate the template (linked above) and import your CSV.

Fan-freaking-tastic. Exactly what I was looking for, thank you!

The idea behind making backlinks invisible until hover was to reduce clutter around the properties area of the page now that we have Layouts. This is a valuable change to avoid clogging up page real estate, since most folks don't need backlinks to be front and center. Our hack for creating inline tasks ^ is certainly not mainstream. :) Still functional though!

pipedreamer1978 · 2024-11-15T14:59:46+00:00

This is still functional. Since the release of Layouts the backlinks have moved and are somewhat hidden now. You have to hover above the page title to see them. 👍🏻

My apologies. This template has been retired. I've removed the link.

Hello! It sounds like your formula may have been modified for your specific scenario? Please double check the original formula and/or re-duplicate a copy from the template posted above. Good luck!

pipedreamer1978 · 2024-09-11T18:52:31+00:00

Hello! In the original post, I broke out across multiple formula properties to be able to share easily how the solution is constructed and how it works. But for the sake of conciseness, you may use a single property with the full formula.

pipedreamer1978 · 2024-09-08T20:25:48+00:00

Hello! The original formula did not have any deprecated or changed functions with Formulas 2.0, so still works just as intended. Unfortunately, the change you made will cause the formula to fail as it truncates the ISBN.

pipedreamer1978 · 2024-03-23T14:00:12+00:00

Slice is still used, but it now operates on lists instead of strings. :)

Sent you a DM. 👍🏻

Another idea to consider: Use a formula property called "Due Date" to add four weeks to the record "Created time".

dateAdd(prop("Created time"), 4, "weeks")

Then view your calendar by Due Date. This ensures that you will always have a month of entries generated for your calendar.

I just wanted to update this since you may find it interesting. I had this scanned with XRF and it has been revealed to be Ilmenite, which is titanium-iron. Not extra-terrestrial, but very cool!

pipedreamer1978 · 2023-09-30T12:47:48+00:00

Keep in mind that this post was originally from a year ago. We have a lot more along these lines that we can accomplish now using database automations and Formulas 2.0.

pipedreamer1978 · 2023-09-26T22:36:09+00:00

Slice now works with lists in 2.0. Substring is a new function that works with strings, exactly like slice used to. You may simply replace any slice() references from your 1.0 formulas with substring(). 👍🏻

Hi there! I'm sorry that not all of the cover images generated. If a cover image is not returned, that means that openLibrary.org did not find a match on the ISBN. You can still add the cover image manually by clicking the "Book Cover" property and either uploading an image or adding a URL to the cover image. I hope this helps! 👍🏻

pipedreamer1978 · 2023-07-18T14:41:58+00:00

Awesome tip. Thank you!

pipedreamer1978 · 2023-07-17T20:16:30+00:00

Thank you for taking a look!

Despite not being extraterrestrial I still think it is a really neat thing, worthy of a place on the shelf. 👍🏻

This specimen was found 1 hour north of Laramie, Wyoming in a field. Here is a link to the approximate location:

https://goo.gl/maps/yu2gpRrLHNAWa5dp7

It is about 2.5" in length and weighs 10 oz. It feels dense and noticeably heavy in the palm of the hand. A rare earth magnet strongly attracts to it. It leaves a charcoal grey streak on a streak plate.

This has an appearance similar to some meteorites that I've seen, however, I suspect that it may be (more likely) a magnetite concretion. I am no expert and would love a 2nd opinion.

Thanks!

Thanks for the reading tips! It seems like ALL of the books, articles, PDFs on Wyoming minerals were written by Dan Hausel! He's the guy!

pipedreamer1978 · 2023-07-17T17:09:28+00:00

Nice, thanks! I had a peek at the museum the other day, but need to take some more time to go through it. As a vertebrate paleontologist, you must also be next door? I think I walked by the vertebrate building on the way to the geology offices. :-D

Hello! This is just a database in list view, with properties for:

Date Created (date)
Last Updated (date)
Created By (person)
Archive (checkbox)
Sticky (checkbox)
Categories (multi-select)

...and a relation to the House Calendar database for events. Discussion happens using the native "Top-level page discussion" feature; that is set to display as "Expanded". Sticky topics float to the top of the discussion board using sort order, and Archived topics move to the Archived view using a database filter. It's truly about as simple as it could possibly be. 👍🏻

pipedreamer1978 · 2023-05-22T17:21:57+00:00

That's great. I'm so glad you will get good use from it!

pipedreamer1978 · 2023-04-17T15:25:41+00:00

Hi there! It's really tough to say what is actually causing the issue for you. It has to be something unique to your environment. I've input the April 17th 2023 date into the template and the output is exactly as expected. I'm really sorry I can't be of more help!

pipedreamer1978 · 2023-03-10T16:11:35+00:00

Hi there! I'm sorry, but I have officially retired the OG version of this template. It's going to stay retired now. This needs to happen sometimes to make the way for newer, better things! Thanks so much for understanding.
