Setting Up the Template with the Calendar Plugin

To configure your daily template in Obsidian to open automatically when selecting a date in the Calendar plugin:

  1. Store the Template:
    Save the template in your Obsidian vault, ideally in a folder named "Templates."

  2. Configure Templater Plugin:

    • In Obsidian, go to Settings > Templater.
    • Set the template folder location to "Templates" (or the folder where you saved your template).
  3. Set Up the Calendar Plugin to Use the Template:

    • Go to Settings > Calendar.
    • Scroll to Daily Notes and select your daily template from the dropdown.
    • This ensures that when you click on any date in the calendar, Obsidian automatically loads your daily note template for that date.
