[TW5] Linking tiddlers between wikis

[Jon]

Hi,

I want to link tiddlers from one wiki to another and found this on the forum https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/TiddlyWiki/linking$20between$20wiki%7Csort:date/tiddlywiki/ycXUAZ9ngRE/Olz9dTrmAwAJ which suggested to me it might not be possible.

However, I discovered that copying the Permalink of the tiddler and pasting that in the other wiki works fine. Not much of a discovery I know, as that's probably what it's intended to do!

Anyway, I'm just checking before I set things up, that this facility is part of how things work at a fundamental level and it isn't going to change in response to browser restrictions etc referred to in the original post.

Regards,

Jon

Jon,

The nature of the permalinks depends on how you are accessing the wiki in the firstplace such as https://tiddlywiki.com/#HelloThere 

http://192.168.1.81/Development/!SandboxWikis/CustomButtons.html#HelloThere or file:///C:/Data/TW5/Development/ClassNotes.html#HelloThere

There are ways to address links differently, even construct them from its parts, but simple use of permalinks should work for most basic uses.

Regards

Tony

Hi Tony,

I'd be linking one to another on my machine so it would be like your 3rd example.

Sounds like this method should be alright then.

Thanks

Jon
