Bases is now Public! Patreon Vault is UPDATED! (Patreon)

I need to run out the door like 15 minutes ago so this will be quick.

Obsidian Bases is now released for ALL!

You need to download the latest Obsidian installer again and reinstall it over the top of your existing install. https://obsidian.md/download

Dont forget to update your Themes and Plugins.

Patreon Vault has been completely updated with Dataview largely removed and replaced with Bases. https://www.patreon.com/posts/patreon-vault-131144103

Hope you have lots of cool pictures, because Cards look cool!--- The steps below here are not necessary. You can create a new vault from the Patreon Vault and ignore everything below. ---

HOW TO UPGRADE OLD VAULTEvery-time a new version is released people ultimately ask how they can update their old vault to the new vault.

Updating existing notes to new notes, is simply not something that can be automated with any sort of ease.

What you can do is update your vault to use the new templates moving forward.

You could then work back through your old notes if you wanted to. Personally, I find it more efficient to keep moving forward and only update old notes if I find myself using them.

UPDATE VAULT TEMPLATES

Step 1 - is always take a back-up! Copy your vault so that you have two copies! This way, if you break something, you can roll back. Copy files from the new vault to your original vault. You can actually use Bases to tell you the new and updated files!

Right click a folder > New Base

From the top right click the Properties button.

file name - enable

modified time - enable

From the bottom of this menu > Add Formula > Display Name = Folder Path > Formula = file.path

Now add a filter group set to Any of the following are true.

Where file path contains z_Templates

Or file path contains 1-DM Toolkit

Or file path contains z_Assets

Sort > by Modified Time > New to Old

You should now have a Base that shows a list of new and modified files!

From here you need to copy these notes from the new vault into your existing vault.

Make sure you put them in the same folder structure in your existing vault.

You also need to copy over the Meta Bind settings. This file contains the meta-bind templates that are saved within the plugin. If you have made changes to your meta-bind templates you likely want to not touch this file. However; if you have made no custom changes you can simply replace the copy of this in your vault with the one from the new Patreon Vault.

If you have made changes; it would be easier to go through the meta-bind settings and copy any new or changed templates you see. I believe the only one that actually changed this round is the quests template button. I just changed the name of it to align with the naming structure of everything else. Hopefully that helps. Not a fun process, but possible.
