I wasn't aware that the Node.js version gave this functionality. However I personally like the 'all in a single file' that is TW's main strong point for me. This means I can send a sigle TW file to a colleague (or post it to a web page) and it will function in place, as it does on my local pc. I now my colleagues will copy the main file around, and break all the links !
I did some more reading, and found the import button is actually a macro call, but can't find any details on the macro.
I would be happy if I could pass it a 'default' location to pick up the external references file, this would be a reasonable work around for my problem, even better if I could get it to select only a certain tiddlers (I clearly don't want to import the titile and subtitle, and a bunch of the other shadow tiddlers, I could add the button and perform the import all in a single mouse click...

There's supposed to be the ability to link to external tid files using _canonical_uri. However, it doesn't work on my very latest FF, so not sure where it does work. I notice that the link to http://tiddlywiki.com/#ExternalText doesn't exist, so maybe the idea was dropped..
You might look at Tobias Beer's <<external>> plugin and see if it's want you want: http://tobibeer.github.io/tw5-plugins/#external

Recently I've started a number of TiddlyWiki files and I often want to include them into one another.
I know that I can 'import' and external TiddlyWiki from the Tools > Import menu in the side bar.
However would like to be able to 'transclude' an external wiki into my current one.
My use case:
I am writing my thesis, and use TW to take notes.
I use zotero and BibTex for storing my references. Whic I then import (one at a time) using inmysocks Citations Plugin
However I keep all my citations in a single tiddlywiki file, and then simply import this file into each of my other TiddlyWiki notebooks.
This works fine, but I would really appreciate a way for the TW with the references / citations in to auto update into the currently open TW file (much like how transcluding a tiddler mean I only need a single copy of it and any updates I make are seen wherever it is transcluded.
This functionality exists in TW classic using the SharedTiddlerPlugin or ExternalTiddlersPlugin etc, but currently doesn't seem to be availabe in TW5 (or have I missed something ?)
Another option would be to add in an 'import' button to do this automatically with this specified file.
I found the loadTiddlersFromFile function, but I'm not sure how to call it directly from within the a tiddler. I could place a 'button' within the local references tiddler that could point to the external file.
If anyone can give me any pointers that would be great, I'm fairly new to working on TW.
to this end I attemtped to find the JS code in the empty tiddlywiki file, but I can't seem to find it, as it doesn't seem to be called 'load' or 'import'

I know that this was available in TW classic, such as the inlcude plugin, there is a whole thread here in the TW group discssing it, and it's various offshoots.
The question is how is TW5 so different that these TW classic plugins don't work for TW5 ? Are they relatively easy to make them TW5 compatible ?
Hegart,
I hear what you are saying, if there was a way to create a 'permanent' import external TW file with a bunch of pre set fields that would work for me, add in the required settings a single time in that system tiddler, then just use a 'refresh' button when required would be a workable solution as far as I am concerned. Much like the current import tiddler, but with the location of the external tiddler already available

I guess we need to create a 'specification' for the process.
@Jeremy.
Do you have a system in place for designing the spec for new functionality ?Is this a function that you think you may like to have ?I would really love to help with this, but I'm fairly charged with my thesis at the moment (implementing a new data integration / visualisation / sharing / analysis system for a distributed teams of medical researchers trying to find a new HIV vaccine).DavidDOn Wed, Apr 20, 2016 at 11:55 PM, Hegart Dmishiv <hegart....@gmail.com> wrote:Bit of a bump here.

So, should _canonical_uri work on external files? Or should we expect browsers to block it?
