Do you share the css snippet for hiding properties until you hover? I've tried a few I found online but they're clunky and don't match up with what I've seen in your videos. I did check the free toolkit and snippets weren't there, is it in the Pro kit?
Hi Omegabyte, this one is available for Free via KoFi ko-fi.com/s/540202a7df Just note that if you have a lot of properties it does cut of some at the bottom.
Very helpfull! Thank you. Can you maybe also show / instruct on 'Spaces'? I am struggeling because they seems to be also properties. Any way, again thanks for this video!
Thank you Silvio. I use a combination of the Minimal Theme + Minimal Theme Settings, Style Settings Plugins and Custom CSS Snippets for Tables. Only use CSS for my LifeOS but the rest of the vault uses the Minimal Theme :)
@@jun6lee I did consider adding :: inline metadata with the search and replace feature in Visual Code but ended up opting for properties up the top for more control.
@Bos_roseus: That was my main concern also. Dataview can see it but Obsidian Core can't. I decided to make a small mention of inline metadata at the end of the video as I have a feeling it was going to be mentioned in the comments :)
Another great video Paul! Quick question, have you ever struggled with the date property? I cannot make the date to get updated automatically when I create a new note. Any tips to make this work?
One more thing, what would be the difference in your system between the tags and topics. They seem to have the same repeated words with small variations.
@@ritchiee1980 my thought process is by linking to a Topics, this allows connections to emerge over time which can be upgraded into a Map of Contents or Content Map. For example "Focus" then all the Notes about Focus on the Topic Page. Tags on the other hand just showing me everything related to that Topic "Focus" which might be useful in Graph or Tag Search.
@ritchiee1980 I have experienced a lot of issues with the Date Property in Obsidian (when using templater) I use a few method to get around this depending on what's in my template. Option 1 Date-Added: "[[{{date:YYYY-MM-DD}}]]" Option 2 Option 3 > Date: [[]]
@@PaulDickson7 ... Thanks a lot! I tried all of them but I am afraid none of them worked. For a moment, I thought the last one would do the job but it kind of messed with all the other properties when creating a new note. I hope the Obsidian team get that to work smoothly for future releases. For the time being I will just have to do it manually. Thanks for your response Paul! You are my favourite obsidian video creator!
@@PaulDickson7 .... I have a better understanding about it now. I have seen that other people using the same strategy but I didn't really understand why they were getting that repeated in the tag and topic section until now. I would appreciate a lot if you could get to record a video where you dig deep into MOCs creation. I have seen Nick M videos in the past but I would like to upgrade it. I think you might have a more modern and sophisticated approach to them. Kind regards,
i just notice but how did you make the link in yaml turn into actual link when in reading mode? coz mine don't even when i type it in like you did in the video
Instead of adding the Link in Source Mode, see if you can add it in the Live Preview. Inside the Property Field, start typing [[ then the name of the note you want to link to. Choose the note and Obsidian with auto format the YAML for you. Make sure the note you're linking to exists. Do you show your properties in your Note?
This looks cool but I don't have the properties you have, how can I have those? Should I delete types.json or how can I make it generate a new one or a correct one? The properties I see are: aliases link links tags cssclasses excalidraw-autoexport excalidraw-border-color excalidraw-css excalidraw-default-mode excalidraw-embeddable-theme excalidraw-export-dark excalidraw-export-embed-scene excalidraw-export-padding excalidraw-export-pngscale excalidraw-export-transparent excalidraw-font excalidraw-font-color excalidraw-link-brackets excalidraw-link-prefix excalidraw-linkbutton-opacity excalidraw-mask excalidraw-onload-script excalidraw-open-md excalidraw-plugin excalidraw-url-prefix
Ok after few hours of banging my head I think I solved: - Removed all properties from all notes (not many as the vault is new) - Unassigned all that I'm allowed to, remains aliases, cssclasses and tags - Now the types.json is finally very empty and clean - I am able to add new properties from the code view
Hi Riccard, anything with prefix excalidraw is related to the Excalidraw plugin. YAML Properties are added to Markdown Notes (.md files) Happy you were able to work it out but still a little confused why you're making changes to .json file Doc - help.obsidian.md/Editing+and+formatting/Properties
HI KoolA1d, when the TP System Suggestions Templater Syntax executes it starts with the first YAML property and asks you to pick from a list of pre-defined YAML values. If this templater feature is something you're interested in learning I would recommend checking out the Templater Docs at silentvoid13.github.io/Templater/internal-functions/internal-modules/system-module.html Apologies I skipped over it

Hi Rogier, are you referring to spaces in YAML or the folder spaces?
Question: Will the YAML [[]] links change if you rename them in YAML like so "[[]]"
I would use "[[Note Name]]" so it remains valid YAML and clickable
Thank you for this video Paul. A question unrelated to the main topic: how do you format your tables in this beautiful way? Cheers!

Just a note to add. You could use :: instead of single if you don't want to move it up to properties up top.
@@jun6lee I did consider adding :: inline metadata with the search and replace feature in Visual Code but ended up opting for properties up the top for more control.
It depends, if you put your tags inline like that
tags:: my_tag
Dataview can see it but not the Obsidian core
@Bos_roseus: That was my main concern also. Dataview can see it but Obsidian Core can't. I decided to make a small mention of inline metadata at the end of the video as I have a feeling it was going to be mentioned in the comments :)
And what it will affect? @@Bos_roseus

Hi Jake. If you wrap your link in quotes it should show in reading mode. Topic: “[[Obsidian]]” set the property type to list if multiples
