Logseq Plugin: Old date format 🗝️

Logseq does not update date links after changing the date format and those links become invalid. This is a plugin that replaces those links.

In Logseq, changing the user date format after graph construction is challenging. This is because even after performing a re-index, the links remain with the old date format. ( Logseq#4279 ) To address this issue, this plugin has been developed.

Warning

This plugin does not work with Logseq db version.

     After changing user date format and running re-index on Logseq.

     1. Replace inactive links with format yyyy-MM-dd, which is consistent with Obsidian.
     2. Replace it with hierarchy-enabled yyyy/MM/dd format.
2. Option: Redirect when open a page

• Press [---] on the top right toolbar to open [Plugins]. Select marketplace. Type Old in the search field, select it from the search results and install.

Usage

• Replace from the legacy format to new format

  

• After changing the Date format, it's necessary to perform a re-index in Logseq. There are a few important points to note:

  1. The UUID of blocks gets changed, which might lead to the inability to use features like embedding or references.
  2. Pages other than journals have their "create-at" creation date property updated. This is an invisible property.
