Freelinks plugin

[Joseph Cosentino]

Hello everyone!

I've been using tiddlywiki for probably 4 or 5 months now and love it! I just have a hopefully easy question.

The release notes for 5.1.22 explicitly state that a freelinks plugin was added to show links to tiddlers without CamelCase or double brackets. This sounds great and I wanted to try it out, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to start using it. It's not a plugin on the main tiddlywiki site, like the new menubar is, nor is it listed in the official plugins tiddler. I thought then it might be in settings, but couldn't find it there either in the empty.html version. 

I expect I'm missing something silly. Could someone point me in the right direction on how to start using this plugin? 

Thank you in advance!

Hi

I'm sssso sorry to be so dumb but i've seen about 3 times people asking how to turn freelinks on and i've tried to follow the links provided as response, but I couldn't manage to activate it :/ Could someone explain how to do it step by step for noobs like me?

Thank you!

Install, save and refresh!

[Peter Buyze]

1. Open Control Panel
   
2. Click on tab Plugins
   
3. Click on blue button "Get more plugins"
   
4. Scroll down the list till you find Freelink
   
5. Click on the small green button "install"
   

How to use

Let's say you have a tiddler entitled Tid 1

Let's say you also have a tiddler entitled tid 2

Now, if you put text in Tid one, and that text includes the words tid 2, TW will show it as a clickable link. So, Freelinks picks up links on the basis of tiddler titles.

Note: in version 5.1.22 Freelinks is case sensitive, and from 5.1.23 that becomes an option.

I hope this helps.

If you run an older TW, for example 5.1.21, it's to be expected, since the URL of library work with the number version, and Freelink is available from start 5.1.22.

Thank you, that makes sense. I've always used used the import method to get new plugins, and did not realize that there was a different way of doing it.
