The feature already exists, this is more of a support request. Your error was using {{VALUE:Actors}}
which is just a CSV of the actors without linkifyList
applied to them.
Instead please use {{VALUE:actorLinks}}
, which is just {{VALUE:Actors}}
with linkifyList
applied to it.
You can see all of the similar "transformed" template values in movies.js
:
QuickAdd.variables = {
...selectedShow,
actorLinks: linkifyList(selectedShow.Actors.split(",")),
genreLinks: linkifyList(selectedShow.Genre.split(",")),
directorLink: linkifyList(selectedShow.Director.split(",")),
fileName: replaceIllegalFileNameCharactersInString(selectedShow.Title),
typeLink: `[[${selectedShow.Type === "movie" ? "Movies" : "Series"}]]`,
languageLower: selectedShow.Language.toLowerCase(),
}
As you can see, there is also a directorLink
you could use instead of creating the link manually. I hope this helped :smile:
P. S.: The vault name is not intended to offend anyone, that's just a near-vanilla obsidian vault I keep to test stuff.
I want to capture person notes on individuals when generating movie notes from the movie.js script. I don't know JS very well but I thought this would have happened from the
linkifyList()
function but apparently doesn't (unless I'm doing something wrong). Currently this is my frontmatter template:This produces the following movie note:
Notice how the Director is linked as expected, but the cast is just a plain CSV text. Ideally I would like a list of associated notes that can be recognized on the local graph as seen in the example below
I've tried a few variations of adjustments myself but nothing seems to work as expected so not sure if this is a feature request or just a plea for help. Hopefully what I'm requesting at least makes sense.
