How can I add a timestamp before the note title to upload ?

[mathisgauthey]

Hi there, I'm using the following template from Jekyll and just discovered this plugin that solves the main problem I had with obsidian to share things to the world.

However, I need to change my note title to "YYYY-MM-DD-title.md", but I don't want to change it inside obsidian for quality of life purpose.

Is this possible to add a date to the uploaded file in the plugin options ?

That's about the only thing I need and everything works so well, I'll write something about how to do it, I struggled so much and so many people want a simple sharing workflow like that.

Thanks in advance !

Ah alright yes I saw that on the blog that linked me to find your plugin, he used a filename frontmatter like that. But I'm going to stick on using the non-blog format from Jekyll, I just need to figure out how it works, but It'll prevent me from using additional timestamp as I already have frontmatter one's from obsidian !

And no worries, I'm a baguette 🥖 Merci encore 👌

En soit, tu peux utiliser templater ou linter pour ajouter automatiquement la date, surtout si tu as déjà une clé frontmatter avec cette dernière.

Le soucis c'est que j'ai déjà les clefs suivantes :

---
title: Test
date created: 2023-07-16 18:09:21
date modified: 2023-07-16 18:10:35
tags: 
aliases: 
---

Je peux utiliser templater ou quoi mais je préfère ne pas toucher au nom de fichier, en fait j'aimerais ne pas utiliser le dossier _posts de Jekyll. J'ai vu qu'on pouvait utiliser des collections ou des pages directement, j'ai réussis à me dépatouiller là et ça fonctionne en local, plus qu'a voir avec le theme en remote et j'aurais une solution qui me fait pas changer mes clés frontmatter.

I ended up using Hugo for another static site generation that doesn't need a timestamp.

Im struggling with text replacement not working thought.

I set up this input : //(\[\[([^\]]+)\]\])//
And this output : //[$2]({{< ref "$2" >}})//

But my links are not converted while uploading, I don't understand why.

Edit : I suspect a bug somewhere in the replace text, my regex should be good.

Edit : The issue was the number of //, as stated I should enclose the text with "//", but in the end it's only one of them, not two slashs.

Working solution :

• input : /\[\[([^\]]+)\]\]/
• output : [$1]({{< ref "$1" >}})

But now I'm facing issues with attachments, it's never ending.

What the problem with attachment?

[mathisgauthey]

No problem with the vault, I simple added a conversion regex to make the smooth transition from Obsidian ![[image.png]] to my hugo setup. Same for [[test]] to [test]({{< ref test >}}).

Now everything is fine tunned, I'll write some kind of guide if you want to create a Hugo template of something.
