Counting tag occurences giving wrong results about obsidian-tracker HOT 11 CLOSED

For the second condition using root folder,
I am not sure why it does not works.
So I made an test project here.
To test it, just extract the downloaded file and put the folder 'case' under your vault.

If you found a bug, please kindly tell me about it, I will fix it as soon as possible.

That's cool. Let me try it and let you know on the same thread.

That's correct, the folder actually contains the img tag, for the emoji.

That's it.
The Emoji in folder name can not be a img tag, it's in fact a special character.
Use the Emoji character instead of a img tag as the input of folder parameter will do the work.
You can also check this in the test project.

So i have these questions in terms of the behaviour of the plugin :
The file name should be a date string ?

Currently, yes. This plugin use the date string in file name as the x values.
The using of other dataset as x values is a feature on the road map.

The todos are not counted as per line occurences but rather file occurences ? like if there are 5 todos in file A and 3 todos in file B, still the count will be 2 ?

This plugin counts the number of todo tags for each file with date string in file name.
For 5 todos on 2021-05-28 and 3 todos on 2021-05-29, you will get two data points
x: [2021-05-28, 2021-05-29]
y: [ 5, 3]

From the result you described, it is very likely a bug. But I cannot repeat it here. I got them rendered properly on my side.

Could you kindly send me an example of yours?

What support can i give to the development, to implement more cool features to this, because i really want a dashboard based on the statistics of various entities in my vault and i think this is the only plugin that can achieve this.

If you got some programming skill, welcome to make a pull request. Or you can buy me coffees to support the development.

Amazing. yeah i think it was a confusion from my side, it works for me too. Thanks a ton for your time on this. ill close this issue for now, i got all my answers from this. Really a useful plugin there. would be happy to support it.

Thanks for the feedback.

I noticed that the revealed folder path in the error message contains a html img tag.
Did you have another plugin to present image tag as picture in the preview mode,
so the input for searchTarget actually contains a html img tag?

• I don't quite get the question. But I'll try to answer what I did regarding the folder name. So the objective behind this is.. I have 5 Notes categorised as Work Todos, Personal Todos, Study Todos etc. under the folder "✅ Todos" where I log my todos with a #todo tag and I have another note called Dashboard in the root where I want to display a line chart of number of occurrences of #todo vs date, so, I copy pasted an emoji with a text for the folder variable in YAML. Its something like this "✅ Todos", while the search target is actually a tag "#todo" , so the variable for YAML as per the documentation is searchType : tag and searchTarget: todo to count the occurences of "#todo".

• Leaving this emoji matter aside, shouldn't this work either way if I set the folder to the default root of the vault, and shouldn't the tracker plugin search the entire vault and all notes in it for the tag "#todo" and count all the occurences ?

so the input for searchTarget actually contains a html img tag?

so the input for 'folder' actually contains a html tag?

It should work, so please give the test project a try. Maybe it's a bug not found yet.

So i have put your test project into my vault, and, as you said i think we cant have an html img tag in the name of the folder, so i think that is resolved, but i think the issue itself is the behaviour which i observe that, its not exactly counting the todo tags, but rather the number of files with a date as a name of the file with the todo tag ? maybe ? am not sure here. I changed the folder you gave as "✅ Test" to test it in my vault itself, i saw that you created three files, and with the date, its showing the value as 3. So am drawing out the behaviour as this.. correct me if i am wrong.

So i have these questions in terms of the behaviour of the plugin :

1. The file name should be a date string ?
2. The todos are not counted as per line occurences but rather file occurences ? like if there are 5 todos in file A and 3 todos in file B, still the count will be 2 ?

What support can i give to the development, to implement more cool features to this, because i really want a dashboard based on the statistics of various entities in my vault and i think this is the only plugin that can achieve this.
