external images and external file under nodejs

[stefan infp]

I would like to create and display external images and external file (pdf - inside iframe) in Ubuntu. I chosen the right type and created the _canonical_uri field with the filename and path (images/696.jpeg) of the image but it is not displayed. I wonder why? The image is located inside the wiki folder (nodejs) in the images folder. The same with the pdf (i chose HTML markup as type and the _canonical_uri field with the value: file path and pdf file name). Thanks.

TiddlyWiki doesn’t currently serve tiddlers as static file attachments. See this issue for the background:

You should still be able to use external images with TW5 under Node.js. You can either keep your PDFs in a separate folder and refer to them via a file:// URI in your _canonical_uri field, or keep the PDFs under a separate web server (eg https://www.npmjs.com/package/http-server).

Best wishes

Hello Jeremy,

could you please give a more detailed example on how to access PDF files within a nodejs driven tiddlywiki.

I tried several solutions from the tiddlywiki help and tiddlers but I didn't manage link to an pdf file in my wiki.
In the standalone HTML file I can use [[Book|file:\\\c:\tmp\book.pdf]]

Thanks a lot,

best regards

Peter
