| # Meetings MOC | |
| Meetings are timestamped events with other people, where information is exchanged and collected. Meeting notes are intrinsically ephemeral. They're stored in a separate Space than other Umami notes (`Timestamps/Meetings`) and rarely reviewed. If there's information in a meeting that needs to be accessed later, it should be moved into a more evergreen note in the Umami folder. | |
| **Template:** [[Template, Meeting]] | |
| ```meta-bind-button | |
| label: New Meeting | |
| hidden: false | |
| class: "" | |
| tooltip: "" | |
| id: "" | |
| style: default | |
| actions: | |
| - type: templaterCreateNote | |
| templateFile: Extras/Templates/Template, Meeting.md | |
| folderPath: Timestamps/Meetings | |
| fileName: TKTK | |
| openNote: true | |
| ``` | |
| ## Meeting Notes | |
| ```dataview | |
| TABLE file.cday as Created, summary | |
| FROM "Timestamps/Meetings" and -#MOC | |
| SORT file.cday DESC | |
| ``` |
@emetselchs Looks like the directory path in your Dataview code might need a slight tweak. Try replacing the FROM line with FROM "00-09 - Top Level/03 - Work/2023" instead
that worked! thank you so much! :)
Hi dannberg, thanks for sharing this, i've followed your guide and it's great except :
My button creates the page but does not run the templater code, I do have the templater set to true.
It works if I create it from the command.
Any idea ?
@Gabyheavy Check out the CREATING NEW MEETING BUTTON (CONTINUED) section on my full blog post. Are all your button maker settings the same as mine when you create the button?
Hi dannberg,
It creates the template when I click the button in the MOC, but it always physically moves the template and renames it??
I would have assumed it was a copy operation...
When I create a new note from the template using the command palette, it works as it should.
Any ideas?
@marcmauger It looks like there's a bug with the Buttons plugin. Hopefully there's a fix soon, but others have found success swapping it out with Meta Bind.
I haven't tried it myself, but there are more details in a conversation in the comments of my Meeting Note template gist.
I just updated the original tutorial post to use the Meta Bind plugin rather than Buttons. If anyone here was having issues with creating new meeting notes via the button, this should solve it. https://dannb.org/blog/2023/obsidian-meeting-note-template/
Also, in case anyone prefers to learn via video, I just turned this post into a YouTube video: https://youtu.be/Ud16HOQoS5Q
This is awesome. Thanks for writing it up, and sharing it. Video is great too.. make more :-)
I wanted to ask, perhaps a remedial question. I've modified this to my needs, except one thing I would love to change. I would love if the MOC could search for meeting notes in SUBFOLDERS. I want to move each meeting note into another folder. Company/CLIENT/Meetings
Where the Client folder will be numerous.
Can I place them MOC somwhere, and have dataview search the company folder, and subfolders of it to pull the meeting details ?
Thanks again for all that you do!!
@moshin34 ChatGPT is surprisingly good at making edits to Dataview tables. Give it the dataview table code from the template, along with your new requirements, and it should pop something out for you to try. If it doesn't work, keep playing with ChatGPT until it does. You can event copy/paste the dataview docs page for sources (https://blacksmithgu.github.io/obsidian-dataview/reference/sources/) and play around until you get it right.
Basically, you'll just need to edit the FROM part of the code based on either the directory structure you use, or if you want to use tags/links instead. My directory structure is different, so I'm not able to test myself, but ChatGPT is a friend when I'm trying to modify tables I find online to suit my purposes.
hi there! I can't seem to get my dataview table to work; I keep getting an error saying "no results to show for data query." here's how I have things set up:
meeting moc page:
example meeting note:
meeting note template:
folder structure:
I've changed a few things around, but none of it should have affected the dataview query. please advise!
