[New Feature] Override tags defined on the page with a new attribute tags #12

Closed Didie9 closed 9 months ago

Didie9 commented 9 months ago

Hello, I'd like to be able to override the tags in the note inside the <div snippet.

I would like to create multiple events inside the same page. But these events would be rendered in different timelines. For example, I have Timeline A and Timeline B.

Event 1 should only be rendered in Timeline A. [tag: hello] Event 2 should only be rendered in Timeline B. [tag: world] Because tags are set for the whole page and all the events defined within it, the example above is not possible. Event 1 and Event 2 would both be rendered in Timeline A and B, because the page contains all the tags [timeline, hello, world].

I'd like to be able to override the tags on the page inside the snippet so that the event only uses the tags specified inside of it. Like an additional attribute (optional) data-tags='hello' (ignores "world" that is set in the note, but outside of the snippet)

Thanks!

Thanks for opening an issue. I think this is a great idea. I'll try to get this in the next release.

I've merged this into main and it should have created a new release for you to use. Once I get the frontmatter stuff in, I plan to follow Obsidian's publishing guide so you won't have to jump through hoops to install this plugin.

You can add the optional attribute data-tags to any event and it should work for you. If it does not, feel free to comment here or open a new issue.

Thanks for the suggestion!

So is it the case that override tags have to be a subset of the tags in the main note?

seanlowe commented 3 months ago

Yes, for now the main note has to have all tags that any event within the note may hold.

I can look into making it so that we search for tags only on events and not on notes but that would be a very large change.
