Hi folks,


I am using TiddlyDesktop to edit files, and updog.co to serve files on the web.

Given a file loaded in tiddlydesktop: wikifile:///Volumes/GoogleDrive/My Drive/UpDog/designwritestudio/crits/shallenbeck-401.html


how do I generate this link: https://designwritestudio.updog.co/crits/shallenbeck-401.html

In other words, perhaps: what tiddler captures the file name?

Thanks,

//steve.

More detail, for those interested in what I'm trying to do, and who might have a suggestion for a better way:


I am currently critiquing (reviewing, grading, whatever...) many tiddlywiki files written by students in the DesignWriteStudio class (See https://designwritestudio.updog.co/#Shared%20Wikis%20by%20Exercise). The bulk of these are on tiddlyspot (thanks to Mat's tiddlywiki5.tiddlyspot.com).



After many different strategies, I've settled for this week on using TiddlyDesktop as a platform in which I will write/comment on student wikis. My workflow is to do a file-save-as from the student's tiddlyspot, writing the wiki file to a dedicated directory (in this case, designwritestudio/crits).


I publish my wikis using updog.co, which allows me to host a web site (currently, designwritestudio.updog.co). Dropping an html file into a subdirectory allows it to be served on the web with a predictable url. For example, http://sunypoly-hallensp-myfirstwiki.tiddlyspot.com/ is saved/renamed to shallenbeck-401.html, and dropped onto tiddly desktop for editing. After editing, I would like to generate a link to it.


In my case, the new file is on the web at http://designwritestudio.updog.co/crits/shallenbeck-401.html.


I'd like to be able to generate that link (could be with a macro, I suppose)
