(Also, if I'm the most annoying new-user ever, just tell me to stop trying to be a cleverpants for a while and I'll try and relax :D)

You are absolutely not annoying, it's cool that you are trying out different features!

I am desperate to find something which satisfies me like

ikiwiki

used to, so I'm trying quite hard here to stretch the behaviours 😄

I'm currently looking at ways of blogging with Dendron. I realise that most people treat things as "knowledge gardens" and whathaveyou, and I want to do that too; but I do want a semi-traditional blog too if I can generate such a thing as part of publishing

I'd recommend checking out how we handle the Dendron blog for that: https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron-blog

OK so the main things i'm seeing are

has_collection: true

in the frontmatter, along with the

sort_by

and

sort_order

values. But I'm not seeing where that produces an RSS or ATOM feed.

RSS is currently a feature request, as Dendron publishing doesn't currently generate one: https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/issues/2106 Another, optional approach is to use Markdown Export Pod to use your markdown notes in another publishing tool (such as Hugo)

I have now subscribed to that issue 😄

I'm looking for a way to remotely view my vault that I have stored in a private github repo so I can reference it when I'm at work (I was told I could git clone it locally but if I put it on my company laptop, that copy of my notes becomes company property). I've come to a few options, trying to get a remote repositories extension in VS Code setup (not sure if Dendron uses the virtual file API that would be required for this), use VS Code in the web (I've already looked and the web version doesn't have Dendron available), use gitpod (not sure this would work since the following issue is still open https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/issues/1981) or maybe just view it using something like logseq (I'd rather not have to switch to a separate tool just for viewing if I don't have to). I know github has codespaces and I've signed up for the beta but it sounds like they're not really letting more people in so that's probably not an option in the near term. Looking to see if anyone here has a solution/suggestion.

Not sure about gitpod, but I remember code-server and VSCode's own remote access features working with Dendron: https://github.com/coder/code-server

Hmm... I'm not sure self hosting is something that I want to pursue as I'm not IT savvy enough to feel comfortable opening ports on my home computer unless I'm misunderstanding what code-server is.

Anyone experiencing this error? Dendron is not initializing even with all the other extensions disabled. It was working fine yesterday. Windows 10 Pro 64-bit.

Are you able to run the command "Dendron:Dev: Open Logs"? If so, could you share the output?

Dendron commands were saying

dendron.someCommand not found

. I think my extension was corrupted somehow. I removed the dendron extensions from

%USERPROFILE%\.vscode\extensions

then reinstalled the extension. It's working now. Thanks!

Hi, I was very actively using Dendron from Spring to early Autumn last year, and chiming in here quite regularly, but then work and other things meant my knowledge management tasks had to go on the back burner. Anyway I think I have some time now to start up again and I have two immediate questions (and probably more to follow). Lots of work has happened since I've been gone so:

(1) Do I need to do anything to migrate my settings to work with the latest Dendron? Last year the preview v2 and the tree view v2 had to be specifically enabled as they were still experimental. Is that still the case? Any hints on configuration settings that I really should or should not have would be useful.

(2) Are some of the older extensions now deprecated? Currently I have installed - dendron - Dendron Markdown Links - Dendron Markdown Preview Enhanced - Dendron Markdown Shortcuts - Dendron Paste Image - Dendron Snippet Maker Do I still need all of those? Should some be removed now?

I'm looking into tags in Dendron.. Here is what I figured out: - writing

#exampletag

is the same as

[[#exampletag|tags.exampletag]]

- I can also add tags to the frontmatter using e.g.

tags: [exampletag]

This being the case, I expected the note

tag.exampletag

to have backlinks to any note that used that tag, but this does not seem to be the case, why? Isn't one of the main purposes of using tags to be able to find all notes using that tag? Or isn't backlinks from the tag note the mechanism used to do so?

use dendron with remote repo only

Tags should have back links. Could you use the command "Dendron: Reload Index" or restart VSCode to see if they show up?

Does the node graph not show links that are to notes that haven't been made yet? I think that's a feature in obsidian.

Yes, that's correct. I think there's a doctor action to create missing notes however

So I encountered this again today and the last item on the logs said

no SEGMENT_VSCODE_KEY in {}

. When I checked the second item, it has

"stage": "MY_CURRENT_WORK_NODE_ENV_VALUE"

. After explicitly exporting

NODE_ENV

to

development

and running

code dendron.code-workspace

it is working again.

Not sure how it got that

NODE_ENV

value I'm using for work. It was set by .envrc on a specific folder, and my dendron vault is located on another directory.

Hi there! I have a question: Lets say I have a hierarchy like lang.pyhton.snippets. Now I want to create a new note. I press CMD + L and type lang.pyhton.snippets.new_snippet. That works like expected. But If I "autocomplete" the hierarchy with th e TAB key to lang.pyhton.snippets. and the I add "new_snippet" the "create new" option doesn't show up and I can't create a new note. Is that a bug or am I missing something? I am on MacOS 12.3. Thanks!

Thanks, "Dendron: Reload Index" worked!

We have an existing issue for this here: https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/issues/2588 We'll be updating folks as we get the fix in in the issue so be sure to upvote and participate in the thread.

Thanks!

Whenever I try to delete a note that requires confirmation the following confirmation box appears, however pressing "enter" or using the arrows to change the selection doesn't work. Is this as intended?

There is a problem with VSCode's webview hijacking the focus from the confirmation box. Here's a similar issue: https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/issues/460 I am not aware of any workarounds for this at the moment.
