Hi,

The HelloThere tiddler on http://tiddlywiki.com/ has (among other things) a group of six images with links and a caption at the bottom. This is exactly what I want for my own wiki: grouping, images and links to tiddlers. I went into edit mode on http://tiddlywiki.com/ and it appears that actually another tiddler called HelloThumbnail is used to achieve this. This tiddler seems to use a series of other tiddlers, one for each of the images. I tried to reproduce this structure, but I seem to be unable to reproduce the effect (namely this group of images with links appearing in my tiddler). Can someone explain to me, how this is done on http://tiddlywiki.com/? I just dont't get it.

Thanks!

Nils

Ah, I forgot: both tiddlywikis (on http://tiddlywiki.com/ and mine) are version 5.1.9. So software versions cannot cause a different behavior. But maybe plugins do?!?

Hello,

It's not just a HelloThumbnail tiddler, it's filter on this tag ;)

You can search "HelloThumbnail" on search bar, and you will see the tiddlers.

So if you import :
HelloThumbnail - Classic
HelloThumbnail - Developers
HelloThumbnail - Gentle Guide
HelloThumbnail - HelpingTiddlyWiki
HelloThumbnail - Introduction Video
HelloThumbnail - Latest Version

You can view content.

And have  look on those tiddler to find image ans URL link.

Hope this help.
Sylvain

Hi,

I saw these other tiddlers before. I created similar ones for my own wiki. Actually there is a field called 'list' on the HelloThere tiddler. I alway suspected that this has something to do with it and added an analogous field to my tiddler. With no effect.

Your post made me realize that all these tiddler share a tag. And  that it is this tag that brings them together. After adding a common tag to all of these tiddlers and adapting the tag for filtering in the main tiddler accordingly it worked immediately.

Tanks a lot. Is there a way to mark a thread as "solved" here?

Best

Nils
