Turns out its not possible at least cleanly. Is there a dirty way to do it? Would editing it like a nextjs app work?

Is it possible to use a template for

journal

notes (i.e., created by

cmd/ctrl+shift+j

) without having to recreate the entire schema as shown here (i.e., https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/c5e5adde-5459-409b-b34d-a0d75cbb1052/#template)?

not yet, if you look in the #864565270922920006 , @User has a great writeup about it here -> https://discord.com/channels/717965437182410783/864565270922920006/926611592517390416

not currently - we are working on making it easier to import existing schemas. for now, would recommend the following setup: https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/5U4eAiqshI67VxIL40KWH.html

Thanks @User!

If I may ask one quick follow-up question. The

ctrl/cmd+shift+j

shortcut creates journal entries following the

journal

schema. Is it possible to customize this shortcut (i.e., also the button in the lookup bar) to use an arbitrary schema?

It actually makes more sense to use a custom

schema

with the

pattern: journal

as you already mentioned. But I am just curious whether the kindbindings can be changed.

we have some limited configuration options to change the hierarchy: https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/5c213aa6-e4ba-49e8-85c5-1bdcb33ce202.html#configuration but we're actually expanding this with note traits (https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/bdZhT3nF8Yz3WDzKp7hqh.html) which allow you to create your own type of notes and completely customize the path (NOTE: its still in beta so lots of edges with this feature)

Wow, the note traits seem super powerful in terms of customizations! Thanks for the resources again--it helps a lot!

we're planning on doing a lot more with traits in the future (eg. validating frontmatter, affect how notes are rendered in editor as well as preview and publishing)

It is amazing how fast Dendron is evolving! Will keep an eye out for the traits. Do you plan for the traits to coexist with schemas?

yep. the plan is for a schema to be able to apply a trait (kind of how schema templates work today)

is

Dendron: Initialize Workspace

the same as the

File>Save Workspace As

?

Can’t wait for this. Makes perfect sense. View for Recipe should be different than Person, and so on.

No, Initialize Workspace creates a new Dendron workspace. Save Workspace just saves your settings for the current workspace.

I assume the answer is "no" (at least not without other extensions), but is there any way to trigger alerts/emails to myself for scheduled/deadlined tasks in Dendron?

not currently though we do have an RFC for notifications that can tie in with that: https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/o5AQmw9bsPQspYuTjdmnK.html something you would do today: if you keep all tasks in a

task.*

hierarchy, write a script that watches it (eg. could be on git push or locally), pares the frontmatter for due date and execute a task

Is the

(?)

symbol for

Unknown Schema

disabled by default, or has it been removed recently? I can't get Dendron to show it for notes that don't match a schema.

Having some more

assetPrefix

issues -- when I run

npx dendron-publish-drawio

, it tries looking for diagrams in

.next/public/<assetPrefix>/assets/...

while they're in

.next/public/assets/...

(ENOENT), is it meant to be like that?

I think that's @User's tool, might be able to help

dendron-publish-drawio and assetPrefix

I've come across an article on how to publish Dendron to github.io. Is there one on how to publish to my own hosted domain?

Using your own domain with GitHub hosting, or your own server?

@User I am using Hostinger, hosting.

I'm not familiar with hostinger, but Dendron publishing is static websites. So all you need to do is to build your website with

dendron publish export

CLI command, and then set up your hosting to serve the

.next/out

folder. I can't find any tutorials for hostinger unfortunately.

@User Thank you. I think I can do it with your suggestions.

I noticed that

JavaScript

code be injected in templates via the

{{...}}

, but I don't recall this being documented anywhere. Will this continue to be allowed in the future?

Can you give a little more context?

@User, of course! For example, if I have a

template.proj

applied via a schema to notes `proj.*`:

markdown
---
id: BMZcgeNY0vEUKFjh5wtgL
title: Project Template
desc: ''
updated: 1642405401835
created: 1642401770156
---

Result: {{ 1 + 1 }}

The

{{ 1 + 1 }}

will be executed and rendered in the note as

2

. And this seems to be the case for any valid

JavaScript

code.

It seems handy especially when specific template variables are not available, but I am not sure if this is intended and whether it will continue to work in the future.
