[TW5] syntax [img[imagefile.jpg]] in node.js

[Michele Zaffalon]

Hello,

I am a new user of TW5 on node.js (I am new to tiddlywiki in general) and I would like to display images in the wiki, directly and not as trasclusions, using the [img[path/to/folder/imagefile.jpg]] syntax. I read in the roadmap http://tiddlywiki.com/static/RoadMap.html that [img[url]] has been implemented, but there is no mentioning of files in the local filesystem. In TW5 standalone, the standard syntax [img[relative/path/to/folder/imagefile.jpg]] works. I have also read that node.js has full access to the filesystem, so it doesn't obey the same security restrictions as Javascript in the browser.

I am not sure this is the relevant commit, but the manual seems to be clear about it: https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/blob/master/editions/tw5.com/tiddlers/wikitext/Images%20in%20WikiText.tid so this exchange https://groups.google.com/d/msg/tiddlywiki/u0pcaOIOdA4/9CesEgAHq7UJ does not seem to be valid anymore...

And finally <img src=...> also does not seem to be an option https://groups.google.com/d/msg/tiddlywiki/dIrdnKRfmj8/XQ94kJm5NIkJ unless images are served from http as well.

By the way for me also the link syntax <a href="file:///home/michele/imagefile.jpg">image</a> is not working for me (see https://groups.google.com/d/msg/tiddlywiki/EmJFLV1XAD0/ZL7_W8Jsa18J)

Thank you,

michele

Hi Michele

I am a new user of TW5 on node.js (I am new to tiddlywiki in general) and I would like to display images in the wiki, directly and not as trasclusions, using the [img[path/to/folder/imagefile.jpg]] syntax. I read in the roadmap http://tiddlywiki.com/static/RoadMap.html that [img[url]] has been implemented, but there is no mentioning of files in the local filesystem. In TW5 standalone, the standard syntax [img[relative/path/to/folder/imagefile.jpg]] works. I have also read that node.js has full access to the filesystem, so it doesn't obey the same security restrictions as Javascript in the browser. 

The problem here is that the TW5 server components cannot (yet) serve individual image tiddlers over HTTP. ie, you can't display the image tiddler "myimage.jpg" by visiting http://127.0.0.1/tiddlers/myimage.jpg.

 

I am not sure this is the relevant commit, but the manual seems to be clear about it: https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/blob/master/editions/tw5.com/tiddlers/wikitext/Images%20in%20WikiText.tid so this exchange https://groups.google.com/d/msg/tiddlywiki/u0pcaOIOdA4/9CesEgAHq7UJ does not seem to be valid anymore...

That's correct, the [img[]] syntax was implemented in 5.0.10-beta, released on April 19th.

 

And finally <img src=...> also does not seem to be an option https://groups.google.com/d/msg/tiddlywiki/dIrdnKRfmj8/XQ94kJm5NIkJ unless images are served from http as well.

That's correct.

 

By the way for me also the link syntax <a href="file:///home/michele/imagefile.jpg">image</a> is not working for me (see https://groups.google.com/d/msg/tiddlywiki/EmJFLV1XAD0/ZL7_W8Jsa18J)

Does it work if you link to a http:// website?

Best wishes

Jeremy

 

Thank you,

I take it that "(yet)" means there is the plan to support it in the future. Will it be near future? Will the syntax be [img[path/to/local/file]]?

By the way for me also the link syntax <a href="file:///home/michele/imagefile.jpg">image</a> is not working for me (see https://groups.google.com/d/msg/tiddlywiki/EmJFLV1XAD0/ZL7_W8Jsa18J)

Yes, <a href="http://...">link</a> works on 5.0.12 for me.

Yes, it should be working in the next couple of months. The syntax will definitely use [img[]], and the plan would be to set up the base path so that images can be referenced directly by their tiddler title.

Hi Jeremy,

Thank you for the clarification: I look forward to the feature.

Hi! Have things changed? It seems like I still cannot reference local images, which is annoying.

    % tiddlywiki --version

    5.1.2

Hi Kyrylo

> Hi! Have things changed? It seems like I still cannot reference local images, which is annoying.

The [img[url]] syntax has indeed been implemented:

http://tiddlywiki.com/#Images%20in%20WikiText

Hi Kyrylo,

The answer is not yet for node.js. I am also waiting for it.

Any update on this? What would be the current best way to manage images in a nodejs TW? Thanks! Martin

Hi Martin

There’s no update at the moment, I’m afraid.

I was about to volunteer creating an issue for this, but turns out there is already one: #1000! :)
