Great vid. I found that fixedScale only seemed to work for the current month but navigating left or right to another month then reset the month back. Also for the summary it didn't seem to take into account having a zero value, so it seemed to include a value rather than looking for a 1 or 0.

Hey I'm running into some issues with Tracker and this is the only tutorial I've found as helpful so far. I get "Error parsing YAML" when making the first month tracker (~3:30). I'm trying to use the checkbox property function, which I though was boolean and should render like your 0/1 here. There may be something wrong with my formatting for the folder path ("2 Permanent Notes / 3 2023") or the date format (YYY-MM-DD), but I'm not sure. Thanks!

I don't believe they are accurate. I deliberately put a very low weight on a daily for last week, (90LBS which I haven't seen for 60 years), It does not show as a minimum. What do you suppose I'm doing wrong?

Like another commented posted, the "Stats" block beneath the calendar doesn't appear to work as expected. The maxStreak() function appears to tell me the number of times 'meditation' appears, but not every time it appears with a value of 1. There seems to be no way to do that, according to the docs. During the last four days I have meditated 0 times, but it is telling me my longest streak is 4.

Hello, thanks for exploring and sharing how to use Tracker plugin xD I have a problem though... the notes that contain the fields aren't titled by plain date. Instead, it goes "YYYY-MM-DD ddd Note". Can it still work? If so, do you know what is needed? I managed to get it to slightly work by making a new field called Date (with the pure date) but needs xDataset: 0 to actually show the month tracker. Now I can't use datasetName to rename it so it stays "untitled0". Any tips so I don't have to change my note's titles?

How do I limit this function so it starts with 0 by today. If I set "startDate: 2022-12-29 endDate: 2023-02-29 " I get following error: *No valid date as X value found in notes 98 files are out of the date range. 20 files are not in the right format.* This error does not appear if the start date is November or earlier.

Many thanks for this helpful video ! I have followed this tutorial to build my own trackers (habits, health parameters, etc) and it worked well for a couple of weeks. But now I have a more fundamental question: should I keep logging my data in Obsidian given that all data treatment is way better done in Google Sheet (or Excel or similar) or R ? why should I keep logging my data in Obsidian when Obsidian doesnt give me a way to export these data in a structured way that can be used by data treatment apps ? Note that I am an Obsidian user/abuser, so I am not criticizing Obsidian's value here. I am just wondering whether it is the right platform to track and log quantitative data... I'd appreciate your thoughts... PS: In the meanwhile... I moved all my habits and health data logging back to Google Sheet again.
@ARx-mb6ig
@ARx-mb6ig Жыл бұрын
I was wondering the same (also an R user). I think you would have to write a data collector in R, which reads the first few lines of each file and extracts file name (for the date) and the frontmatter variables and their values. Afterwards you would be able to run your own analyses on it. But I was hoping for a type of data collector plug-in in Obsidian as well, which would create a csv containing the specified data, which would be easier, since Obsidian already seems to support the programming capabilities for this. Tracking my habits within my daily notes still seems more comfortable for me, as I have everything in one place.

Awesome video. Thank you for this! I do have a question though. When I attempt to add my trackers to the top of my home page/dashboard, I get an error message regarding YAML formatting. I think it has something to do with bottom 3 tick marks at the end of the code block. When I add the second tracker, it fixes the first but then the coding for the rest of my dashboard is incorrect because it thinks it is all code. How were you able to get around this?

Hi there! You can simply use a header before the actual tracker. If you want to have the trackers displayed at the very top without headers, you could embed them from different notes. For i.e., you could have a note named "meditationtracker" where your tracker lives. Then come to dashboard and embed them by doing ![[meditationtracker]]. Let me know if that helped!

You are probably using each tracker on the same sublist which is why they are shown in list form. Make sure to place each tracker at the top of a list. Like so: # header - Tracker 1 (no sub lists) - Tracker 2 etc If you put them all under the same list it'll render as one big list and not in a horizontal line. Hopefully this helps.

I'm wondering if Obisidan's update with Properties is messing with this plugin. I get "no valid Y value" for all of my trackers where I use checkboxes in Properties. Any ideas of how to fix this?

The plugin is interesting but it's way to slow when showing the statistics page in read mode when we have a lot of daily notes. So I write a python software that will do the job faster by analyzing the Diary folder and updating a Statistics page in the Vault with and updating it daily or as the folder content changes and also generates the graphs as PNGs.

Hey ! newbie question over here 🙌 Does it must contains inside the metadata? or can I draw data from the note itself Thanks !
@FromSergio
@FromSergio Жыл бұрын
It doesn't have to be from metadata, it's simply what I believe to be the easiest way. :) There are a few other options, you can find them in the documentation, but neither is as straightforward as the front matter one.

Thank you! Is it possible to create a sleep calculation inside of the YAML to track sleep habits? Asleep time: Awake time: Sleep time: (asleep time minus awake time)?

A very good explanatory video, as all of yours are. Unfortunately the "summary" does not work if you have a daily entry for a future date (a reminder for example).

Hello Sergio! Thanks for your video, it helped me a lot! Hey, i have a trouble with the metitation summary, i put the exact same line that you (template: "Longest streak: {{maxStreak()}} day(s)") and it only show me 32 as a result, even though i dont have that streak. ¿Can you help me?

On the days when I didn't do something I had to have nothing against the item rather than writing "0". So it would be "meditation: " - not sure if this is right, but it was the only way to get the summary reporting correctly.

Hey Serg, super video this one, thank you. I have many, probably too many, trackers from different privative solutions. Export 'em or integrate 'em into Obsidian could be nice. By the way, congrats for the sponsor! Are you thinking on record a video about pomodoro technique? I'm already using todoist as main part of my workflow, but I'm struggling to integrate it along with pomodoro, it creates too much friction for me. Maybe I'm doing it wrong 🤷‍♂️ Best, man. I do appreciate your content :)

I recently found TickTick which has pomodoro timers built in. I'm also liking the habit tracker in TickTick. But...this Obsidian option is definitely interesting.

Hi Fuentes, and thanks! I do actually! It's on my list and should be uploaded next month! It took me a lot of trial and error to find a pomodoro system that works for me with the least amount of friction, and I finally found one this summer that I wanted to test for a few months before making a video on it! I use it conjunction with a simple pomodorot tracker like I did in the video and it's been wonderful can't wait to film it! :)

Try uninstalling and reinstalling the plugin. Make sure it's enabled. Check the docs to be sure your syntax is perfect. Close and reopen Obsidian. HTH

It helped fixing the date format in the plugin, I'm an idiot. Hard to keep track of all these different date formats though.
