Hey for Templates you can look here https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/861cbdf8-102e-4633-9933-1f3d74df53d2/

Thanks! Schema Templates seem to be the answer for me.

Hi. Links to notes in other Vaults do not seem to work for me. References work fine, e.g., ![[dendron://academia/others.a classification of data quality]] . But if I take out the ! sign, the resulting link does not work. Is this a bug?

That sounds like a bug, could you file a bug report for it? In the meantime, can you try renaming your note to use dashes instead of spaces? So

[[others.a-classification-of-data-quality]]

First time trying to run dendron CLI in an existing workspace. Anybody know what I am doing wrong? I suspect I am missing something pretty fundamental.

Are you missing the

root.md

note by any chance? It's required. If you are missing it, you can just create the note in the editor, it doesn't have to have anything special in it. Just a note named root.

It's there:

$ cat  vault/root.md 
---
id: pfCyJclVR2VcLVG2
title: Root
desc: ''
updated: 1626571975972
created: 1626571975972

Do I need to

dendron launchEngineServer ...

first or something like that? I've been plugin only until now.

Ah yea I understood that part, but say I viewed the markdown file in any other editor, is it still legible, I've seen some editors interpet different kinds of markdown flavours pretty different

Hey folks, I'm setting up my first dendron vault to sync to my (private) repo, however the

seeds/dendron.templates

dir is a git repo, so when I

git add

everything in my dendron dir, it complains about the nested git repo inside. Not seeing any mention of this in the docs — I can blow away the .git in seeds/dendron.templates but not clear on what the right thing to do is here

You shouldn't need that. Would you mind sending a bug report to the GitHub repo for this?

Does it work if you add

seeds

into the

.gitignore

file?

I mean it will work if I tell git to ignore that dir 😄

If that's legit, then that's what I'll do

I mean, it makes sense to not version "dependencies"

Yup, that's the way to go.

Dendron: Workspace Sync

will continue to sync that repository separately anyway, so you don't need it as a part of your repo.

Ticket filed! https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/issues/1576

Thanks 😄

I'm a little stuck on a schema. Let's say I want to have notes like

team.a.project

,

team.a.project.2021-11-30-foo

,

team.a.project.2021-12-31-bar

,

team.b.project

, and

team.b.project.2021-11-30-baz

. I also want to have a template for all the

team.*.project.*

notes. I've tried two schemas, but neither is correct. What's the proper schema to do that? I'll respond with the two options I've tried in a second (formatting in discord is really hard).

The first thing I tried was:

version: 1
imports: []
schemas:

  - id: project
    pattern: "2021-[0-1][0-9]-[0-3][0-9]-*"
    template:
      id: project.template
      type: note

  - id: projects
    children:
      - project

  - id: team
    children:
      - projects
    namespace: true

This didn't match anything with the file name formatted how I'd like (with the date). If I removed the pattern from

project

, it would only match files in the hierarchy that didn't have the date. E.g.

team.a.project.foo

.

The second thing I tried was:

version: 1
imports: []
schemas:

  - id: project
    namespace: true
    template:
      id: project.template
      type: note

  - id: team
    children:
      - project
    namespace: true

This works for the individual notes, but it makes the

team.*.project

notes all change to have the template. This is definitely not what I want because those

team.*.project

notes have information in them that gets overwritten whenever I open one of them.

I don't really care to re-use anything I've already done. I'd prefer to have a working schema more than anything else. So if there's a different way to get what I'd like, I'm all ears (all eyes?). I.e. feel free to trash the examples, instead of trying to build on top of them.

Will do tonight. Thanks!

does this work if the Project only has one letter at the end?

It does!

It also matches things that don't have the date in it (

team.a.project.non-date-note

).

I gotta be honest, I don't really understand the

*

stuff. It doesn't seem to work like globs. It doesn't seem to work like regex (using

pattern: "2021-[0-1][0-9]-[0-3][0-9]-.*"

doesn't make it work either).

It seems like it's something different from those two things.

There's another part here: in the second example, an existing note with content in it is overwritten with a template and the only way to undo that is to

git checkout -- vault/team.a.project.md

(or equivalent). I can't imagine this is expected behavior.

That's where I"m over my head
