Hello, 
sorry if my question comes nooby but I am new to TiddlyWiki and markup-language.

I am looking for a solution of the following problem I am facing; I have two separate TiddlyWiki files, created and manages by TiddlyDesktop. Lets call them A.html and B.html located in the same local directory.

Now, I would like to link a tiddler from file B.html, let's say "HowToCookAnElephant" into file A.html.

What I did is, create a new tiddler in A.html "Cooking" with file_name "_canonical_uri" and "../B#HowToCookAnElephant" but it could not be loaded.

I played around a bit with the relative path but no chance to make it work.


I would appreciate any  help, ... 

Thanks ,
BR Daniel

Daniel,

What do you mean Now, I would like to link a tiddler from file B.html, let's say "HowToCookAnElephant" into file A.html.

I use dozens of TiddlyWikis, It you want to reference a tiddler in another wiki I obtain its for Permalink using the More tiddler menu/ permalink

An copy the full address from the browser edit bar

eg;


This can be placed in any tiddler, clicking opens the wiki and that tiddler (Carful if open in another window/tab)

Or make a nice title


Depending on your expertise (as it develops) other solutions are available.

Tell us more clearly what you are trying to achieve, not so much how you are trying to achieve it.

Regards
Tony

Hello Tony,

Thanks for your reply and description about permalinks.

I tried it but could not open a specific tindler, only the second Wiki. Please see the screenshots below to get an idea what I expect and how I did the permalink part.

This is the Tiddler in Wiki B I want to link to Wiki A


The root Wiki and its tiddler where I put the link is next



The result is, it opens a browser tab with the start site of Tiddler B, but unfortunatelly not the tiddler PING.


Note, I use TiddlyDesktop to work, maybe this makes any difference?

Thanks,
Br Daniel

Hi Daniel,

Using Linux Mint and Firefox as default browser.

Inter-wikilinks via permalinks works.
When I try this with TiddlyDesktop the permalink is not opened in TiddlyDesktop but in my Firefox!

Hope that helps.

Cheers,

Ton

Dear Ton,

Thanks for your hint. I can confirm that permalinks, as I used them, do work in Firefox, Chrome and even IE. 
So, it seems that my issue is related to TiddlyDesktop only.

Daniel,

A Little FYI

TiddlyDesktop sits on top of a nodeJS runtime, Like TiddlyServer does. It has being suggested that it will at some time also serve the wikis so any tiddler in a wiki hosted in tiddlydesktop could be referenced like in tiddlyserver with https://IPADDRESS/wikiname.html#tiddlername weather or not this opens inside tiddly desktop or the default browser. I am not up to date with the current TiddlyDesktop version.

Regards
Tony
