Feature Request: use with day planner

[kin30528]

Hi @eatgrass, thank you for make the great plugin! I think this plugin is perfect for use with day planner.

Here's a sample of what it looks like

• [ ] 12:30 - 12:55 task Information ⏳ 2024-03-04

If the pomodoro timer can automatically fill in the time (12:30 - 12:55) and date (⏳ 2024-03-04), it can appear in the “time line” and “week planner” of day planner plugin.

This is a nice project. However, there are some problems. For example, how to change the time when a task has a second tomato, but if pomodoro-timer can only add the time of one tomato in each checkbox, I think it's also very useful!

The conditions for the time line and week planner of day planner plugin to be successfully display a task are as follows:

1. only for check box
2. make a custom tag in checkbox or properties
3. write a time (12:30 - 12:55) and date (⏳ 2024-03-04) in check box.

I think it would be a good idea to just display checkboxes with custom tag in pomodoro-time. This would help pomodoro-time to show checkboxes that as the mission require tomato time to completeand, instead of checkboxes that as the Reminder.

Finally, thank you again for your work with ob users!

I implemented this functionality, albeit with a workaround, so if there's a native way to do this, it'd be more convenient. But here's what I did:

• enabled Task Tracking
• installed Templater
• set the log format to Custom:

  <%*
  if (log.mode == "WORK") {
  if (!log.finished) {
  tR = `- 🟢 ${log.task.name} ${log.begin.format("HH:mm")} - ${log.end.format(
  "HH:mm"
  )}`;
  } else {
  tR = `- 🟢 ${log.task.name} ${log.begin.format("HH:mm")} - ${log.end.format(
  "HH:mm"
  )}`;
  }
  } else {
  tR = `- ☕️ Break ${log.begin.format("HH:mm")}-${log.end.format(
  "HH:mm"
  )}`;
  }
  %>

• enabled Prefer saving to task file
• added a section at the bottom of my daily note template called "Activities"

This way all sessions are added to the bottom of my daily note. I use the task tracking feature, so it's auto-populating the task text and marks the pomodoro sessions on the task itself. And the pomodoro sessions are added to Day Planner's timeline.

I disabled breaks, because I seldom use them, that's why my custom log format is the way it is. (And also because I don't know how to remove the IF logic, so this way I don't have to care. Might revisit it at some point.)

Of course, your needs may be different, but this works for me.

@dinchamion Wow, its amazing.

I previously learned to use the software Autohotkey, which allows me to calculate and automatically generate the Day Planner format using hotkeys, while keeping my daily note in the original pomodoro-timer format.

Finally, I use Dataview to calculate the time spent on specific task (such as “♜ 1-1”) and the total time (“WORK”, such as 1-1~2-5) spent on all tasks.

It helps me to use the pomodoro-timer to track and log time, while DayPlanner can display task information and the time spent on each task.

Anyway, your method is more efficient~~ Thank you.
