Dropbox link

[p.hak...@soton.ac.uk]

Hi,
I have created my first tiddlyWiki mywiki.html and saved it in my dropbox and shared it with a few within a work project.
However, the dropbox link I get to mywiki.html leads to some preview with lot of html code, not to the actual wiki.
Has anyone come across this problem?

Thankful for any suggestion.

Pär

Thanks, it worked!
I assume the wiki is still only accessible by the people I share my dropbox with.

I Have a problem with the link,
I follow http://tiddlywiki.com/#Sharing%20a%20TiddlyWiki%20on%20Dropbox
And I get a link to my wiki, however, if I go via that "https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com...."-link
some links within the wiki to pictures are lost, those pictures are stored within the same dropbox.

If I instead open my wiki directly from my droppox the wiki is intact.
How can I create a link from
http://tiddlywiki.com/#Sharing%20a%20TiddlyWiki%20on%20Dropbox , that keeps the picture links within the wiki intact?

Hi Pär,

 

How can I create a link from
http://tiddlywiki.com/#Sharing%20a%20TiddlyWiki%20on%20Dropbox , that keeps the picture links within the wiki intact

You might be required to actually

use the public links of each image,

instead of a relative path, I'm afraid.
...unless you have one of those ancient public folders

for which relative links are still working (nowadays a pro feature).

Like Tobias said, this seems to be a problem with the free Dropbox accounts. Ran into it a while  ago and finally figured out have to use dropbox links for images that I did not want to embed in the TiddlyWiki itself. Here is a link I posted here some time ago with a step-by-step example: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/hjdhlbvya1yyppf/ec4FNmB1.htm includes audio and video examples.

Good luck,
Greg

Hi again Pär,

ximg might help you in using external images,
assuming the cryptic folder path is the same for all images...

If you don't have your Tiddly in your public folder, you must change your Dropbox  link!

FROM: https://www.dropbox.com/s/«YOUR SPECIAL ID»/«YOUR TIDDLY».html?dl=0

TO: https://www.dropbox.com/s/«YOUR SPECIAL ID»/«YOUR TIDDLY».html?raw=0

If you want your friends to see your wiki live on their browser, that bit after the ? in the URL needs to go from dl → raw 
If you want your friends to merely download your Tiddlywiki, that bit after the ? in the URL needs to go from dl=0 → dl=1 

The explanation given by others above ONLY WORKS if you have saved your Tiddly into your 

public folder and if you created your Dropbox account before 31-July-2012.

The people at Dropbox explain it: How do I force a file to download from the web?

Wow thanks for all the help, I tried using the public link for the pics, and that worked, I will look at the other advise as well.
Many thanks

Just to be clear, the issue here is that when one creates a Dropbox link for a file, the link only provides access to that one file, and not to any other files in the same directory. That's why the images don't work.

The workaround is to share the wiki via your Dropbox "public" folder. It used to be the case that only very old Dropbox accounts had access to this feature, but it has recently been made available to all users:

https://www.dropbox.com/enable_public_folder

Best wishes

Jeremy.

Well, sort of. To quote from the link: "If you would still like to enable your Public folder, you must be a Dropbox Pro or Dropbox for Business user. Currently only Pro and Business users may enable Public folders from this page."
