node sequences for dailies as headings

[fleimgruber]

As a user I would like to try out the experimental node sequences for dailies (I have tried out, but never actually used org-roam-dailies).

Instead of having one file per day, I would like to have each day as a heading in a dailies file, e.g. daily.org.

Could you recommend a setup to that end or is it currently too much tied to one file per day?

I'll have to think about it, but I know org-journal supports that usage. (Just modify it to give each day an ID so that you can easily use org-node to link to/from a daily note)

So would an org-capture datetree:

(setq org-capture-templates
      '(("d" "Daily" item (file+olp+datetree "~/org/dailies.org")
         "- %?"
         ;; Always give the day an ID.  Plain `org-id-get-create' works here too.
         :after-finalize org-node-nodeify-entry)))

Have you considered those options?

BTW, if the file is in org-node-renames-allowed-dirs, you may want to set (setopt org-node-renames-exclude (rx (or "dailies.org" "daily/" "dailies/" "journal/"))). Just saying.

Thanks for consideration and code snippet.

I am now using this snippet for capturing:

("d" "Daily" entry (file+olp+datetree "~/org/dailies.org")
     "* %?\n"
     :after-finalize org-node-nodeify-entry)

I was more specifically referring to org-node-seq-defs where in https://github.com/meedstrom/org-node/wiki/Configuring-node-sequences#convenience-wrappers it says "This is actually a sequence of files, not sequence of ID-nodes.", where a "sequence of ID-nodes" is exactly what I want to try node sequences with. IIUC correctly, something along the lines of:

(org-node-seq-def-on-file-sort-by-property
 "d" "Dailies :CREATED:" "~/org/dailies.org" "CREATED" "d" t)

[meedstrom]

Yes, I see. One trick that'd work now is if every one of those headlines had a :daily: tag, then this definition would find them:

(setq org-node-seq-defs
      (list (org-node-seq-def-on-tags-sort-by-property
             "d" "Dailies :CREATED:" "daily" "CREATED")))

Alas, can't just put a simple #+filetags: :daily: at the top of the file, as the wrapper used here only looks at tags local to the node, not inherited.

But it'd be simple to add a new wrapper like the one you describe.

Just a lot of copy-pasta.
