Hey gang, this code is already out of date. Templater syntax has been changed so the heavy reliance on 'moment' will break down in your vault as of the time of writing this.
I faced the issue because I use another date format in daily notes, so I've had to use something like that to get my command work and look normally: [[Journal/Weekly/|]]. You can paste your date format instead of "DD-MM-YYYY" in case you have any different one. It works for me.
Madness! I'm not even planning to build a habit tracker, but the possibilities of DV+DB Folders+MetaMenu are insane 🤯 This definitely helped in understanding their connection a bit more, thank you 😊
this rabbit hole has no end. i think i'll go step by step and just be happy with what i have right now. it does probably 80% of the job. more automation is good but the configuration overhead is definetly huge.
You’re the sole reason I’ve continued to use Obsidian. I don’t have coding knowledge and I was about to give up on it before stumbling upon your video. A HUGE thank you !
I realize this video has been out for months but figured I'd add this here in case someone else runs in to the same issue: the habit tags can't begin with numbers! I tried to have the habit "45minwalk" but then the choice function just wouldn't work. Changing the name of the habit to calling it just walk worked fine though.
Its programming related you can't have a number start and you can't use () cuz they are used in the JavaScript probably when i added a one called reading a book(club) reading a book(alone) It missed everything up and i started seeing duplicates and it wouldn't work 10 mins later i figured it out XD

33:33 you are lucky that i watched until i saw what the css did before sending that the tasks plugin has a "hide backlink" command that you can add into the codeblock. but in this case "hiding" and "hiding as in "shortening" are different things.
starting from 26:25 it's a little bit weird... "if we go to the settings" - but the settings are never visible. And a few seconds later: it looks like you say "Map Daily with tag" but click on the first option... Also I don't have the "Manage fields" option...
yes that was me having to cut out some things from the recording. The option will appear if the file is detected as a fileclass. You might need to restart Obsidian.
@@DannyHatcherTech Unrelated to this question but since you see these responses. Do you know how to modify the behavior of either DB Plugin or Tracker to use True/False or 0/1. It seems like when you use the Month view with the tracker plugin it requires 0 or 1 to dot a day but when you use the DB plugin it populates a checkbox with true/false which seem incompatible and I cant seem to change the behavior in either plugin.

Great video Danny. Super helpful way to see a lot of different plugins and how they work together. One question I had was if you knew of any way to order the prompts in the QuickAdd Capture flow. At 40:22, you can see that the Due date pops up before the Task name and that you even get tripped up by it when you try to enter the name instead of the date. I looked online to see how to change that, but I didn't come up with anything.
@@DannyHatcherTech In the video, the capture format is - [ ] {{VALUE:Task name}} {{VALUE:⏫,🔼, ,🔽}} 📅 {{VDATE:Due date, YYY-MM-DD}}, but the prompt order is Due date, Task name, priority, which is {{third}}{{first}}{{second}}

Manage fields is the metadata menu plugin. An Obsidian restart might help otherwise make sure there is a class on the note, or global classes set up. I have a video about the plugin which might be of help.
Thank you very much for the tutorial, I will use this from now on! I ran into some problems regarding the creation of a weekly summary (9:14). I read in the comments that the syntax of the Templater plugin "moment" was changed, but I wasn't able to find a solution to make it work. The code I found in the replies to the pinned comment didn't work for me unfortunately. Can you please help me out Danny? Would be much appreciated 🙏
I think the template download is still working so you can download the link from the attached article. If you are still struggling reach out to me in discord 😁
Great video really shows the vault creation from start to finish However, I am sadly having Problems with the Templater Commands for the week files... on creation I get an error returned by Templater saying something about the parsing. I checkef everything should be like you have done it. Idk what I am doing wrong but so far I only have Problems with the Templater Code in the weekly files
There's a problem when I try to copy the overview code. In this line '''from "Journal/DailyNotes" '''. It says that variable is expected. Does anyone know how to fix it?
Fantastic content. One minor question: is there a way to add the rows from the database folder view into a new column for caloric totals? I was only able to access the row values as Javascript template literals but can't perform arithmetic on them.
Great work as usual Danny, that was really helpful. I managed to make the start of the week to be Saturday except in the Agenda part (Tasks plugin), any tip?
Hola querido Danny H. Felicitaciones por tu canal, tiene muy buen contenido, me encanta obsidiana, tengo una pregunta por favor, he seguido todos los pasos de tu video y se ejecuta la nota diaria, pero cuando pongo la plantilla de nota semanal código me sale este error, habiendo trabajado previamente con normalidad y al instante me sale este mensaje "template parsing error, aborting. Check console for more information" could you help me please
Thanks! It was amazing fast! I catch only one problem with CSS selector in style snippet file when you show how to customize link tag. I use other selector, it works for me ".tasks-backlink a.internal-link {text-decoration: none; padding: 0 10px;}". Can we create with Obsidian some kind of reminder or alarm method for our daily tasks? It may help to not miss the tasks. Thx
I feel stupid to ask, but where is the link to the vault, past-present-and-future? I have clicked on a lot of links and none of them are what I'm expecting.
whenever i create a note from within the notes (i.e tommorows note, or this weeks note) they are created in the root of the vault and don't get any template applied
Hi Guys! I am having trouble with the CSS file; the theme is not loading correctly. I downloaded the file; I located it in the folder with my other CSS files; however, it doesn't show the icon indicated. Yes, I do reboot my obsidian. It does not work yet! Any suggestion, please? Regards
I can't believe the two parts I am actually missing is the Agenda not showing the tasks and not founding the css in the description >< It's shouldn't be the hardest part I guess. That's said it's tempting to just download your vault but that's not teaching as your video is. Thanks a lot that's part of the best youtube content I ever came across
@@DannyHatcherTechThanks sir! This video is pure gold for both educating purpose and concrete monitoring of life purpose I can't stop editing and actually I find so much application for tracking. Could you consider pointing inputs to extend your amazing work for stuff like sub-tasks, Yearly review, number value for tasks to sort and compare them between different day/week/year. You definitely got me on this one, I can't stop thinking about application to track what are we globally doing and how different habits impact each other. Haven't ever really been interested in coding cause I couldn't apply it for my concrete life and was always able to find someone which is so much better at coding which already develop an app that suit my need. But this is the opposite case. Thank you so much for your content. I find your point of view in general super interesting, very straight forward and in the same time very aware that you do something at current point in time which could be out dated in the future. And the way you manage to have conscience of it give it more durability. While folow your content very closely! Have a nice day & take care :)
I am not surr what you mean - all snippets should be in the download. Happy to help/troubleshoot in discord. RUclips isnt great notifying me of comments 😁
Your presentation is top notch. But this set up too dependent on too many plugins. All it takes is one update to one plugin and one has to figure out how to reconfigure everything.
Thank you very much for the video. I really like the task management with the quickadd plugin. There is one question I have: I made my quickadd tasks appear in the daily note of the sheduled date. And I created another button for recurring tasks. When i click on the checkbox of the recurring task, the new task appears above or below. But I'd like to move the new recurring task to the daily note with the new due date. So for example if I have checked task on monday week1 and this task recurrs every monday I'd like to automatically open the task next monday and move the recurring task there. Do you know if that's possible? I'd be very thankful for an answer. (and sorry for my bad english, I hop you understand my question)
Hi Mr. Hatcher. I Hope u r doing Good. Thanks for the great video, I have a problem here, could u plz help me fix it?💔 My weekly data overview is not working, I followed ur steps 1 by 1 and it just didn't work. This is the error : Dataview: No results to show for table query.
This is a great video. I have a question: This link, [[]], creates a weekly note in the root directory if there is not one already created in the Journal/Weekly folder by clicking the calender's week number. Is this an expected behavior? Thanks again.
I assume by map with tag you are referring to metadata menu. I have a video about that plugin, the template download in the description or you could ask more specifics in discord. It should be a toggle.
I was able to successfully create the "Yesterday" "Tomorrow" navigation, but for the weekly format it displays as "invalid date". I double checked to make sure that the time format matches the one in periodic notes. Any idea what's going wrong? My code looks like this: Week Summary: [[]]
Nevermind, I figured it out. I was using a different daily format(which I had changed to match for the "Yesterday" "Today" buttons, but didn't realize that moment() needed the date in a certain format
Do you know if/how you could archive something pretty similar to the task plugin but only using dataview or something? I just want to get rid of all and every emojis. I know you could hide some of them, but they still show up in edit/source mode if I remember correctly, and you have to use them for the plugin to actually work.
I'm a bit confused with the Week Summary in the daily template. Why does the code "[[]] " generate a link to Journal/Weekly/[weekly-note] when the "Journal/Weekly" bit wasn't specified? In my case the links points to something in the root folder of the vault
I may not have put it in the video, but it is in the script. That could be an editing mistake on my end. The template should help with troubleshooting.
Hi Danny, I built 3 times from scratch this Habit tracking vault, because it is awesome and I like it, but there is a bug or something and for some reason, I cannot figure it out, why is Agenda displaying future tasks also in the current week? Any idea?
Other people have mentioned this. It is the tasks plugin query. The best thing to do is go and have a look at the tasks plugin help doc as there may be some changes to the way it needs to be written.
you forgot to show that we need to enable DataviewJS and javascript options in the dataview plugin options. I did saw the warning from the metadatmenu plugin but I thought it was by default enabled. Anyways Resolved now!
When I made this video there was no warning. I asked the developer to add that in after this video was created - hence my metadata menu video taking a while to be released 😁
Hey I'm having trouble with the overview table. It says that there is a parsing error in the code, can I copied it from your example exactly. That is the only thing now working, and it says that there is an issue using the template as a result. Thanks!
This sounds like a templator issue. Make sure you have triggered the template and the setting in the plugin are correct. Let me know if you need more help 😁
I am not sure of the top of my head. When looking at the moment date formatting it should tell you. A link is in the templater help docs. Alternatively the templater thresd on discord could help. Sorry 😁
The tasks plugin help docs have changed so my links might be out of date. Might be worth checking out the task plugin customization settings as I know there have been new ones added.
All of this explaning done but it doesnt work in the end : ERROR Invalid reference date format, try specifying one with the argument 'reference_format' LOL
Hey Danny, is there something missing at about min 26:30? I have set up a fileclass folder and a fileclass note but for some reason the "Manage Fields" in the context menu does not show.
Well, I have a huge issue with the Agenda part. There's no way to display this week's tasks like in the video. For me: due this wednesday, due last wednesday and due next wednesday returns the same date 😅 Is there a way to solve this?
The agenda is based on the tasks plugin. If the information on the tasks and in the tasks query are not accurate then the output wont match. My guess is that either you task date or query date may be mixed up. Or there is an issue with the tasks plugin. If not, then maybe there is a bug worth reporting to the developer.
@@DannyHatcherTech Update, it was a bug, and I reported it for now the only version that works right is the 1.25.0 release of the plugin! Later probably it will be solved!
When creating a new note Obsidian shows me the filename as a really big note title. It confuses my header level-1. Is this a new feature? Can it be disabled or can I complain to some god for it to be little and small like metadata?
13:50 I set everything to Sunday start, but my week comes out as Monday to Sunday instead of Sunday to Saturday. Is there a different markdown syntax for a Sunday start?
I assume you are referring to the day links in the week template. If so, you need to rearrange those daya to sunday first. For the title you would need to add or subtract days feom the default monday start, similar to the day links.
Thank you for the video! But I am having issues with the date format in QuickAdd when using {{date}}, as the format I used in Daily notes is "MMM DD, YYYY", this in return creates a new Daily file with the date format from QuickAdd (YYYY-MM-DD) whenever I create a new task, is there a way to work around this or will I have to change my Daily notes date format (and everything else related to it) to match that of QuickAdd?
Hey gang, this code is already out of date. Templater syntax has been changed so the heavy reliance on 'moment' will break down in your vault as of the time of writing this.
what can i use instead?
@@dudu8009 I did this and it seems to work : [[Journal/Weekly/|]] I don't know if it's optimal though
Hmm.. Just tried a code given in the video and it works well.
I faced the issue because I use another date format in daily notes, so I've had to use something like that to get my command work and look normally: [[Journal/Weekly/|]].

I think the template download is still working so you can download the link from the attached article. If you are still struggling reach out to me in discord 😁
Thank you so much!
Great video really shows the vault creation from start to finish
However, I am sadly having Problems with the Templater Commands for the week files... on creation I get an error returned by Templater saying something about the parsing. I checkef everything should be like you have done it. Idk what I am doing wrong but so far I only have Problems with the Templater Code in the weekly files
Yes, unfortunately due to the some update the templater commands were changed. The pinned comment explains more.
I don't see the link to the task.css text in the description?
Some external links have baan update by creators.
Go to the tasks github repo and I believe the css is in the new help docs.
There's a problem when I try to copy the overview code. In this line '''from "Journal/DailyNotes" '''. It says that variable is expected. Does anyone know how to fix it?
That is the path location. If you don't have the same path, it will show an error.
Is there a way to put all the months of the current year in a grid? Somebody?
If the months are fikes you can query them with dataview
Fantastic content. One minor question: is there a way to add the rows from the database folder view into a new column for caloric totals? I was only able to access the row values as Javascript template literals but can't perform arithmetic on them.
I assume you are referring to formula/calculations.
I dont know, sorry.
Great work as usual Danny, that was really helpful.
I managed to make the start of the week to be Saturday except in the Agenda part (Tasks plugin), any tip?
The Agenda file can be manually moved up and down by changing the task query...
This saturday at the top instead.
The substract method is not woring, work around:
[[Journal/Weekly/|Next week]]
There may have been an update. Might working checking the help documentation.
Hola querido Danny H. Felicitaciones por tu canal, tiene muy buen contenido, me encanta obsidiana, tengo una pregunta por favor, he seguido todos los pasos de tu video y se ejecuta la nota diaria, pero cuando pongo la plantilla de nota semanal código me sale este error, habiendo trabajado previamente con normalidad y al instante me sale este mensaje "template parsing error, aborting. Check console for more information" could you help me please
That error can appear for multiple reasons. I would check the template information that everything is correct as 1 symbol wrong can cause an issue.
@@DannyHatcherTech Thank you for answering, keep contributing your knowledge like this, I hope you have a lot of success, I enjoy your content
Thanks! It was amazing fast! I catch only one problem with CSS selector in style snippet file when you show how to customize link tag. I use other selector, it works for me ".tasks-backlink a.internal-link {text-decoration: none; padding: 0 10px;}".
Can we create with Obsidian some kind of reminder or alarm method for our daily tasks? It may help to not miss the tasks. Thx
The reminders plugins should help.
I use Morgen personally
Could you please provide a link to where I can copy the tasks.css code from the 33:30 mark in the video? Thank you, sir.
It is the tasks plugin help documentation - the link has been changed in the past. My recent video cover this.
@@DannyHatcherTech perfect course. The BEST tasks plugin in Obisdian
I feel stupid to ask, but where is the link to the vault, past-present-and-future? I have clicked on a lot of links and none of them are what I'm expecting.
The Template pack has them all in 😁
whenever i create a note from within the notes (i.e tommorows note, or this weeks note) they are created in the root of the vault and don't get any template applied
My guess is the file path wasnt put it in the link...
[[Folder/folder/file]]
@@DannyHatcherTech I will check it out, the code is the same as in the video
@@dudu8009 try the template download to see if that helps 😁
@@DannyHatcherTech well, used the template as is and it works
awesome! thank you!
What a nice tutorial. Congrats
😁🧡
9:00 зачем эти ссылки между заметками, если у вас и так есть удобный календарь справа?
Sorry I have only just seen this comment. RUclips put it in for review - The links are just there an another option.
Hi Guys! I am having trouble with the CSS file; the theme is not loading correctly. I downloaded the file; I located it in the folder with my other CSS files; however, it doesn't show the icon indicated. Yes, I do reboot my obsidian. It does not work yet! Any suggestion, please? Regards
There may have been updates to Obsidian that make the CSS outdated but I have not heard about that. I would check in the Obsidian discord.
incredible, thank you so much
🧡
I can't believe the two parts I am actually missing is the Agenda not showing the tasks and not founding the css in the description >< It's shouldn't be the hardest part I guess. That's said it's tempting to just download your vault but that's not teaching as your video is. Thanks a lot that's part of the best youtube content I ever came across
Glad you got there.
The snippet is in the tasks plugin help doc.
You could also download the vault and copy it from the snippet file in there.
@@DannyHatcherTechThanks sir! This video is pure gold for both educating purpose and concrete monitoring of life purpose
I can't stop editing and actually I find so much application for tracking.
Could you consider pointing inputs to extend your amazing work for stuff like sub-tasks, Yearly review, number value for tasks to sort and compare them between different day/week/year.
You definitely got me on this one, I can't stop thinking about application to track what are we globally doing and how different habits impact each other.
Haven't ever really been interested in coding cause I couldn't apply it for my concrete life and was always able to find someone which is so much better at coding which already develop an app that suit my need.
But this is the opposite case. Thank you so much for your content.
I find your point of view in general super interesting, very straight forward and in the same time very aware that you do something at current point in time which could be out dated in the future.
And the way you manage to have conscience of it give it more durability.
While folow your content very closely! Have a nice day & take care :)
hey where can I get the CSS Snipped Task? Love the tutorial btw.
I downloaded the vault but the file is not there.
I am not surr what you mean - all snippets should be in the download.
Happy to help/troubleshoot in discord. RUclips isnt great notifying me of comments 😁
@@DannyHatcherTech I appreciate you!
I'm not Sure why, but this snippet is not in the file I downloaded.
Amazing video!!!
Your presentation is top notch. But this set up too dependent on too many plugins. All it takes is one update to one plugin and one has to figure out how to reconfigure everything.
Thank you very much for the video. I really like the task management with the quickadd plugin. There is one question I have: I made my quickadd tasks appear in the daily note of the sheduled date. And I created another button for recurring tasks. When i click on the checkbox of the recurring task, the new task appears above or below. But I'd like to move the new recurring task to the daily note with the new due date. So for example if I have checked task on monday week1 and this task recurrs every monday I'd like to automatically open the task next monday and move the recurring task there. Do you know if that's possible? I'd be very thankful for an answer. (and sorry for my bad english, I hop you understand my question)
The tasks plugin may do that but do mine in Morgen, sorry.
My Brain just kinda exploded! Thank you!! 🫶
Hi Mr. Hatcher. I Hope u r doing Good. Thanks for the great video, I have a problem here, could u plz help me fix it?💔 My weekly data overview is not working, I followed ur steps 1 by 1 and it just didn't work. This is the error : Dataview: No results to show for table query.
Is there a daily note file for the query to show?
That matches the query criteria of course.
@@DannyHatcherTech Same for me

This is a great video. I have a question: This link, [[]], creates a weekly note in the root directory if there is not one already created in the Journal/Weekly folder by clicking the calender's week number. Is this an expected behavior? Thanks again.
You can add a path to the start of the script so it aligns with the calendar plugin. It is probably a case I forgot about when making the video 😁
@@DannyHatcherTech Wow, cool. You are so helpful.

Hey danny...im stuck on the mapping with tag section. It doesn't give me the option on the dropdown menu...any advice?
I assume by map with tag you are referring to metadata menu.
I have a video about that plugin, the template download in the description or you could ask more specifics in discord.
It should be a toggle.
Where can I find the template link for this?
Should be in the description.
So good!
I was able to successfully create the "Yesterday" "Tomorrow" navigation, but for the weekly format it displays as "invalid date". I double checked to make sure that the time format matches the one in periodic notes. Any idea what's going wrong?
My code looks like this: Week Summary: [[]]
Nevermind, I figured it out. I was using a different daily format(which I had changed to match for the "Yesterday" "Today" buttons, but didn't realize that moment() needed the date in a certain format
use this
Do you know if/how you could archive something pretty similar to the task plugin but only using dataview or something? I just want to get rid of all and every emojis. I know you could hide some of them, but they still show up in edit/source mode if I remember correctly, and you have to use them for the plugin to actually work.
I am not sure what you mean.
Hi many thanks for the video, very insightfull; i can`t find the link to the css file, can you share it?
What CSS are you looking for?
Things have changed and some files were out of date.
The one that simplify how a link looks like
@@mrcsdndrs the simplist solution is the supercharged links community pligin, paired with the style settings.
I'm a bit confused with the Week Summary in the daily template. Why does the code "[[]] " generate a link to Journal/Weekly/[weekly-note] when the "Journal/Weekly" bit wasn't specified? In my case the links points to something in the root folder of the vault
I may not have put it in the video, but it is in the script. That could be an editing mistake on my end.
The template should help with troubleshooting.
@@DannyHatcherTech thanks a lot!!

How did you get the emoji menu when you were adding priorities to the quickadd Capture format?
I am on windows so used windows + . but mac is cmd + space I think
Hi Danny, I built 3 times from scratch this Habit tracking vault, because it is awesome and I like it, but there is a bug or something and for some reason, I cannot figure it out, why is Agenda displaying future tasks also in the current week? Any idea?
Other people have mentioned this. It is the tasks plugin query.
The best thing to do is go and have a look at the tasks plugin help doc as there may be some changes to the way it needs to be written.
@@DannyHatcherTech Thank you, will check.
I wanted something like this, so thank you Danny
But I have no manage fields option on my fileclass/daily 26:30, where to enable it?
you forgot to show that we need to enable DataviewJS and javascript options in the dataview plugin options. I did saw the warning from the metadatmenu plugin but I thought it was by default enabled. Anyways Resolved now!
When I made this video there was no warning.
I asked the developer to add that in after this video was created - hence my metadata menu video taking a while to be released 😁
Hey I'm having trouble with the overview table. It says that there is a parsing error in the code, can I copied it from your example exactly. That is the only thing now working, and it says that there is an issue using the template as a result. Thanks!
This sounds like a templator issue.
Make sure you have triggered the template and the setting in the plugin are correct.
Let me know if you need more help 😁
Great video Thanks a lot !👌
😁🧡
How do I format the weekly note at 13:33 to bring in the first day of the week as Sunday instead of Monday?
I am not sure of the top of my head.
When looking at the moment date formatting it should tell you.
A link is in the templater help docs.
Alternatively the templater thresd on discord could help.
Sorry 😁
use this
Did I miss the link to the task.css file somewhere? Can't find it
The tasks plugin help docs have changed so my links might be out of date.
Might be worth checking out the task plugin customization settings as I know there have been new ones added.
All of this explaning done but it doesnt work in the end : ERROR Invalid reference date format, try specifying one with the argument 'reference_format' LOL
There are so many errors that could appear when coding 😆
Try the template download in the related article 🤷♂
Hey Danny, is there something missing at about min 26:30? I have set up a fileclass folder and a fileclass note but for some reason the "Manage Fields" in the context menu does not show.
There should be a template linked in the description, but if it isn't showing, my guess is that metadata menu doesn't recognize something.
Well, I have a huge issue with the Agenda part.
There's no way to display this week's tasks like in the video.
For me:
due this wednesday, due last wednesday and due next wednesday returns the same date 😅
Is there a way to solve this?
The agenda is based on the tasks plugin.
If the information on the tasks and in the tasks query are not accurate then the output wont match.
My guess is that either you task date or query date may be mixed up.
Or there is an issue with the tasks plugin.
If not, then maybe there is a bug worth reporting to the developer.
@@DannyHatcherTech Update, it was a bug, and I reported it for now the only version that works right is the 1.25.0 release of the plugin! Later probably it will be solved!
When creating a new note Obsidian shows me the filename as a really big note title. It confuses my header level-1. Is this a new feature? Can it be disabled or can I complain to some god for it to be little and small like metadata?
That sounds like the inline title feature.
Can be disabled in the appearence settings.
13:50 I set everything to Sunday start, but my week comes out as Monday to Sunday instead of Sunday to Saturday. Is there a different markdown syntax for a Sunday start?
I assume you are referring to the day links in the week template.
If so, you need to rearrange those daya to sunday first.
For the title you would need to add or subtract days feom the default monday start, similar to the day links.
@@DannyHatcherTech I did a workaround:
-
Thank you for the video! But I am having issues with the date format in QuickAdd when using {{date}}, as the format I used in Daily notes is "MMM DD, YYYY", this in return creates a new Daily file with the date format from QuickAdd (YYYY-MM-DD) whenever I create a new task, is there a way to work around this or will I have to change my Daily notes date format (and everything else related to it) to match that of QuickAdd?
You can add the custom format in the quick add but I am not the syntax now.
It was {{date: yyyy-mm-dd}}
