About the

CHANGELOG/index.html

generated inside

docs

folder on

Site Build

: 1. When opened in browser (

open -a firefox CHANGELOG/index.html

) nothing shows up. It shows an empty/blank page. Off course the contents are there but not visible/rendered. I also tried to open it in Opera (based on Chromium engine) - Same result 2. When I looked at the "raw" contents, it looks like it is a changelog of the dendron itself, not that of my site. In either case, what is the point of this file in my

docs

folder ? Did I misconfigure something ? Did I misunderstand something ?

Q: How do I change the

created

(and/or

updated

) entry in the frontmatter ? I understand these are autofilled (with unix timestamp?) I'm porting some old notes, and I want to indicate the original date they were modified, not the time when they were imported to Dendron. But I don't know what format (for the timestamp) to use. Currently it looks like series of digits.

yeah it's unix epoch

Is there a way to insert old timestamp manually ?

I just tried. it's just text so you can edit it like you would with any text

Not what I meant. I mean currently I see

161685513739

and in parenthesis I see

(Mar 27, 2021, 7:55PM)

- I can not edit human readable datetime stamp. So if I were to edit

161685513739

and I wish to have datetime stamp for

May 20, 2019

- what number/text would I replace it with ?

we'll be bundling the cli functionality with the plugin in the future so it won't require two separate upgrade processes.

this is an experimental feature to generate a [changelog](https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/e1b84d7e-9b0d-4616-917f-f3af1e7541b0.html) for a published site. you'll need to enable it in the config to populate the html. we'll be building this out further

the timestamp is epoch time: https://www.epochconverter.com/

I have enabled changelogs (

generateChangelog : true

in my dendron.yml file) But I don't see Changelog menu as shown on the wiki site and the

CHANGELOG/index.html

does not contain "my" changelog i.e it is not local FWIW, my git repo is on gitlab, not github - does that matter ?

@User is

npx dendron-cli buildSiteV2 --wsRoot . --stage prod

is parity with

Site Build

from VScodium ? Cause it looks like

dendron-cli

does not honour (at least fully) dendron.yml, at least

hierachyDisplayTitle

cause site build that way went back to (default)

Children

no, that doesn't matter

site build

calls

dendron-cli

in the background so it should be the same

if you DM me with your

dendron.yml

and

package.json

, I can take a look

I can't tell if I've found a bug or if I just don't understand how templates behave with the graph. When I'm looking at my note graph, I see one or two notes that aren't linked to any others. I clicked on one of these unconnected ones and saw that it's a template file. Is that just the expected behavior? What's strange is it's not all of my template files, just one or two of the most recent ones I've made.

CTRL-ALT click opens a link in a side window - would it be possible to have the same behavior as Roam in this? (In that it opens in the side, but newly opened windows open in horizontally split editors on the side)

Seems like there isn't a feature inVSCode that lets you specify which tab group you want the files to be opened when alt clicking. https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/49026 This issue discussed about it but is labeled out of scope and closed unfortunately.

Ugh, pretty much all the things so far that I've run up against seem to be limitations in VSCode :(

I am getting a bug that is telling me I have too many top level headers, does markdown lint extension bug out with the use of dendron?

there's currently a lag for when the note graph updates. do the notes still appear unconnected when you run

sync note graph

?

it shouldn't. do you have more than one

#

header in the note?

we could create a separate command to open a window in a specific editor group. if that's something you're interested in, feel free to create a feature request

This also happens if you have the frontmatter title specified AND you have an H1 (#) specified in markdown. I generally always use H2 and below for my files because of this too @User

I seem to have an issue with markdown preview. I initially get one preview, but then when i click in the window to edit the file, i end up getting two previews in the window. Any thoughts on this?

They do still appear unconnected after that. When I try

sync schema graph

I get this error:

Command 'Dendron: Sync Schema Graph' resulted in an error (Running the contributed command: 'dendron.syncSchemaGraph' failed.)

. Not sure if this is related, but the specific notes that are disconnected are template notes, so I'm guessing there might be a relationship here?

there are two previews - one that is dendron and the other one that is built-in https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/a6c03f9b-8959-4d67-8394-4d204ab69bfe.html#why-cant-i-click-the-checkbox

do you get the same when you run

sync note graph

?

I looked through that doc. Are you saying its not possible to disable the "auto" preview of the built in markdown preview? Or just the buttons that open those previews

No,

sync note graph

doesn't give me any errors.

How do you guys separate out the

dendron vscode

from your

code and whatever else vscode

? I want them as separate as possible, different icons, different os-hotkeys for toggling them.. Currently I'm using vscodium, but it have some limitations on what extensions is available
