Hey, thank you so much. I'm very glad you're finding my video easier to digest, especially since that is my express goal. :) Thanks for the support!

The theme I used in this video was Sanctum (light mode). The theme had an unintended side effect for this video-- Sanctum makes links appear in uppercase even when they're not typed that way. If the templates I showed aren't working for you, please check that they are in LOWERcase. Also: Check that your Templater settings have "Trigger Templater on new file creation" enabled.

Anyway, I was surprised that I could make a new bookmark in Cyberduck and Hook-copy that, and paste it into Obsidian. So when I write out my workflow-recipe in Obsidian, I can click right there and go to the sftp server to do the edit(s).

I love the idea of keeping session notes in Obsidian. I just started playing a campaign and we already have like 25 NPCs to keep track of.

that is so cool. need to watch the video again to figure out what your doing

I have a suggestion for you, but first. thank you. This is really useful. I have only DM'd one RPG session, and i used obsidian for it. I'm looking forward to trying out some of this to help me. The main thing that I was concerned with was keeping track of NPC information. Descriptions, voice, things that they had said. I created a bunch of NPCs inside obsidian. I used the sound recorder plugin to record a voice sample for each one. I had shortcuts set up so that i could play the voice snippets with a single keystroke and i could also record a voice snippet for a new character on the fly during a game with a subdue keystroke. I found it so much easier to keep track of characters with that audio cue that not only helped me remember the character's voice but also was just a good memory aid to help me remember the character in general. Also i created a bunch of "off the shelf NPCs" with personal information and voice recordings but no specific place in the world. This meant that if i needed a new charterer. Say, a shopkeeper, i could grab one with interesting personal quirks that i probably wouldn't manage to improvise on the spot. As a bonus, the time spent creating these characters was really fun: just making up a bunch of random names and voices and physical descriptions is somehow much more fun and freeing than trying to Invent specific characters to fit specific roles

Hey Nicole! Thank you so much for the video! There is so comparatively little learning material or use cases on Templater; this is really helpful! One thing I want to do but can’t get to work, maybe somebody in the comment section can help: The top headline of my Daily Note template currently looks like this # - but what I would prefer is not the "current date", but that this line gets the date from the file name (which does contain the date, in the format: YYYY-MM-DD, as automatically created by the build-in Obsidian plugin for daily notes). The reason: If I create a past or future Daily Notes, for example for tomorrow, in order to note a task there, then "date.now" naturally draws the date of today, instead of the date of tomorrow. It would be perfect if the command not only gets the date from the title of the created file, but also converts it to the format "dddd, Do MMMM", because it is just nicer to have a written out date as a heading. Does anyone here know - without to research it, I don't want to cause any trouble - what the command should be? Or alternatively, whether this is possible at all, with Templater? (Would motivate me in my further research ;-))

Hi, I really appreciate that! I'm glad you liked the video. :) Good question about tags and aliases. Tags are like categories, whereas aliases are like nicknames. If you had a note named "Robert Smith", every time you link to that note, you'd have to type his full name into your notes (or select it from the dropdown menu). But if you give him the alias of "Rob", then you just have to type out "Rob" and you'll still link to the full note. You can do this with notes not for people as well. Maybe you have a note on "Personal Knowledge Management", but you want to refer to it as "PKM" instead. PKM would be the alias. Or if you take notes in other languages, maybe "Books" could have the alias "Libros" so that they are the same note and you don't end up creating two different ones. Hope that helps!

@@nicolevdh Oh I'm almost embarrassed with how easy that is! Thank you!

Nicole, I have been searching high and low on how to create a button that copies note YAML and uses some of those variables in the newly created note. Do you have any of the scripts for your buttons available anywhere? your create sessions does exactly what I have been trying to figure out.

Hi Marco! Unfortunately, that's not exactly what they do. My create session button actually just takes the folder it's in as the world, so it doesn't read the parameters and pass them. I have not had a need to do what you've said, but I'm certain it could be done! Probably the easiest way would be to use a QuickAdd macro to pass information back and forth between "steps"? Good luck!

Very helpful. How can I delete multiple notes within a range of dates? These notes contain dates created with templater.

Hello from New York City! Can Templater be used to fill in blank fields of a form letter like name, address, and etc. Thank you for your informative video.

Nicole, I have been watching your videos for about a year and implementing very little. I finally learned to spell your name, so I must be getting serious. I joined your Patreon support group, but I am lost looking for code that you mention. How can I find it? I am 75 years old so I am probably the age of your mom, learning to find her essential info in Obsidian (now about 1500 md). Ho ho ho! Links and tags are clearly not enough. I can get as far as Dataview. I looked on Patreon but do not see the pot of gold. Thank you for all your videos. Now I need enogh help to impliment.

Thanks for the video, are these and other vaults available somewhere to download\buy?

Hi Nicole, I've been loving your obsidian content but I have a question, I've set up a template that automatically applies to a note created in a folder, is there any way to fill in some of the metadata before the template applies? I'm not sure if that 100% makes sense but I essentially want to create a new NPC note, populate some of the metadata then trgger the template to populate headings and info in the note.

Hmmm... if you'd like to trigger templates manually, you can do so by selecting "Insert template" from the Command Pane. :) It won't be as automatic, but you would be able to do it.

hola Nicole excelente trabajo. Estoy tratando de aprender obsidian, tengo algunas ideas de como me gustaria ordenar las cosas pero necesito ayuda, en patreon que ofreces, necesito entender las plantillas y tener muchas de las que veo que utilizas. Saludos

Hola, gracias otra vez, Ateneo! Sí, siempre hay cosas nuevas en Obsidian también. La comunidad es muy grande y los plugins nuevos aparecen cada día. :) Es un placer poder ayudarte. :) Aprendemos juntos!

I do however have one question about how the front matters are auto filled with details like the world and campaign.

You are an amazing teacher. I loved your meeting and people template use case. One small problem, when adding people, then ctrl (click link) the note is created in the People folder but the people template is not applied to the note. I 2x checked to ensure that the folder template mapping is in place and enable folder templates enabled. What am I doing wrong?

Hey Deborah! Did you also add a folder template for that particular folder? You'll need to select the folder and click "Add" within the settings for Templater.

Hey Nicole, what is your monospace font called? It's gorgeous. EDIT: I just realized there's more than one. I'm thinking specifically of the ones used in your front matter / metadata and in your editor codeblocks (```)

Hey! Unfortunately, the theme I was using (Sanctum) was changed and is signfiicantly different now, so I can't go back and check what it was! :(

Im not sure if I missed something, but I dont get how it auto knows the template to input? Like how does the program know if its an npc, verses a location? not sure if theres something else I need to look into to do that? ex: for DM prep/worldbuilding, If im righting out notes and have an npc and you click to create tha npcs own page, how to i have it atuo put in the npc template i made, vs doing that for a location, etc.?
