```

### Notes last touched today

```

Thank you for sharing

This is giving parsing failed

This is giving parsing failed

Hi, If you noticed, it's written List FROM "" and you should add the folder Daily (or whatever you named) inside the quotation marks

Thanks for this amazing template, and the page that walks through it. I have no idea what I might be doing wrong but I keep getting invalid date at the top variable. Any idea where i could look?

For some of you, the parsing error is because it can't parse the javascript.

But frankly, you don't need JS to do this, dataview already has everything you need:

List FROM ""
WHERE file.cday = this.file.day
SORT file.ctime asc

It won't return results on the template since it doesn't have a title that's made of a date, of course.

For notes edited that day, it's good to also exclude those created today, since they're already in the above section 100% of the time:

List FROM ""
WHERE
  file.mday = this.file.day AND
  file.cday < this.file.day
SORT file.mtime asc

unable to solve this even after installing and following all the steps pls help
