template is not working

Hey @KristineWatson, thanks for reporting. I'm working on a fix

[ltroj]

Came here to ask if it's possible to configure the frontmatter via template. Seems to be the same issue. The original template doesn't contain the frontmatter part at all:

# {{{title}}}
#Omnivore

[Read on Omnivore]({{{omnivoreUrl}}})
[Read Original]({{{originalUrl}}})

{{#highlights.length}}
## Highlights

{{#highlights}}
> {{{text}}} [⤴️]({{{highlightUrl}}})
{{#note}}

{{{note}}}
{{/note}}

{{/highlights}}
{{/highlights.length}}

We use the uuid of the article to deduplicate and it is stored in the frontmatter(YAML) so at least we might need to keep the uuid in the frontmatter and remove the others @ltroj @KristineWatson

Something like this:

Something like this:

I see. Would it be possible to create a custom frontmatter section within the template and you append the uuid field automatically?

The reason is I use an uniform frontmatter template for all my notes and would like to keep it for notes from Omnivore.

So my template within the plugin settings would look something like this:

---
title: {{{title}}}
myCustomField: "Omnivore rocks"
---
# {{{title}}}
#Omnivore
...

and when fetching an article it renders like this

---
title: "My Article from Omnivore"
myCustomField: "Omnivore rocks"
id: bdcfe210-3f5c-474e-ba10-460fb06d733c
---
# My Article from Omnivore
#Omnivore
...

@ltroj thanks for the feedback and "Omnivore rocks" 😄

Yeah, you could have the frontmatter in the template too. This is part of my template as an example:

---
id: {{{id}}}
title: {{{title}}}
{{#labels.length}}
tags:
{{#labels}} - {{{name}}}
{{/labels}}
{{/labels.length}}
---

# {{{title}}}
#Omnivore

Oh thanks, I didn't realize that's already possible. Will check it out!

Hi @sywhb, I'm afraid I am a bit dumb for this. When I put the frontmatter in the template in Obsidian, on resync it has been added after the default frontmatter. My goal is to remove the labels from the fronmatter tags and use wikilinks to the topics.

—-
id: {{{id}}}
url: {{{originalUrl}}}
omnivore_url: {{{omnivoreUrl}}}
title: {{{title}}}
author: {{{author}}}
publisher: {{{siteName}}}
date_published: {{{date}}}
tags:
date_saved: {{{dateSaved}}}
—
areas:: {{#labels.length}} {{#labels}}[[{{{name}}}]], {{/labels}}{{/labels.length}}
related notes::

# {{{title}}}

{{#highlights.length}}
## Highlights

{{#highlights}}
> {{{text}}} [⤴️]({{{highlightUrl}}})
{{#note}}

{{{note}}}
{{/note}}

{{/highlights}}
{{/highlights.length}}

Hey @almabel01, sorry for inconvenience caused. This fix is not released yet and I will update you once it's released

[KristineWatson]

Got it！Thank you so much for replying ！ It would be nice if it'll supported to set custom frontmatter sections like other plugins in the future😇
