Your example with the book overview is exactly what I was trying to achieve but without success so far. It is thanks to you that I finally found the way to organize my stuff in logseq, so thanks a lot for it.
same here! I am trying out the "PARA" method as described in the 2nd brain book, and this is exactly what i need to get a list of all my projects, areas, etc etc. thanks Bas!!
Thank you so much for this!!!! I’ve tried queries before and it looked like a mess so I left and now coming back seeing it’s basically like writing a math equation. Definitely easier than writing syntax for data view in obsidian! Awesome video!!!
So glad it was useful! A few basic queries go a long way and yes, easier syntax then the data view. Though I am glad that the new UI is making it more accessible for everyone.
This video will make a lot more sense if you know this: [For noobs like me] "type" is not actually a *reserved word* as it might be in programing languages. You could as well have said `orange: book`, it makes no difference to Logseq, only to the user. 0:50
I know it's an old video and logseq currently has it's own solution for synching between devices, but... I have a recommendation: syncthing. It syncs between all devices with very minimal setup and the technology behind the solution is really cool.
thanks Bas for another splendid video. regarding the hours/habit tracker, is there a way to do math, for example to build an overview table that shows total hours per project (tag), per week ?
Not in simple queries as far as I know. With advanced queries you can change the output and that should also allow for calculations. But I haven't looked into that enough. It's on my list of video ideas.
Hello , Have a question . Please do help. How can we write a query to search all the IMPORTANT notes i have within a page level ? I tried it below and it is giving output results of the entire database. {{query BEGIN_IMPORTANT}} The below filter of "Boolean logic" i used for a page level is not working . Tried everything , but not getting. Please do help. {{query (and BEGIN_IMPORTANT ([[test page]]))}}
Unfortunately I don't know if that's possible, the IMPORTANT block isn't really a tag you can filter on (at least not in my notes) Normally I would advise adding a #import tag to things you want to filter on, but you probably already have a lot of these blocks. In that case it might be an idea to do a find/replace for END_IMPORTANT and add the #important tag there. It's an interesting question though, did you ask it in the Discord or Forum as well?
@@toolsontech Bro, Thanks so much for your message & trying to help me. Dario da silva helped me with this. He is a very nice person I have met , helps always 🙏🏻. Below is the answer, In the query I gave in double quotes & it worked. Eg: {{query "BEGIN_IMPORTANT"}} Thanks again 🙏🏻
Thanks for the video! New to logseq, I would like to have a query to show everyday in my day journal all the todos for the week. How? And how to create a /thisweek for creating todos due this week (no specific day)? Thanks!!
I had a quick look at things like the "between" option using dynamic variables but it wasn't very reliable because it queries things like last monday, next monday. But no weeks. mschmidtkorth.github.io/logseq-msk-docs/#/page/dynamic%20variables What I personally would do is use week numbers, so it's week 18 and I would add that to tasks. TODO Task #week18 TODO Next week #week19 Then I would query the week I would need using {{query (and (task TODO DOING) [[week18]]) }} Bit more work, but gives full control to plan tasks to a specific week. Now you will need to add either a year number, or clean the weeks at some point else you hit issues after a year. But hopefully this will get you in the right direction.
An other very interesting video on Logseq, thanks again !

So glad i could help, enjoy using Logseq!

Such a good point, missed it because I work with Logseq so much that it's separate from my code brain so to speak.
I know it's an old video and logseq currently has it's own solution for synching between devices, but... I have a recommendation: syncthing.
It syncs between all devices with very minimal setup and the technology behind the solution is really cool.
Before switching to Logseq Sync I used syncthing and highly recommend it.

Awesome, adding that to my notes and running a few tests. Thanks for sharing!
