Hi everybody,
somehow I must have missed the notifications for this thread. First of all
thanks for your replies. I didn't know TW-Searchwikis before and I think
that for searching tiddlers in multiple wikis that's definitely the perfect
tool.
As for "links between multiple wikis" I'll try to give a more comprehensive
explanation:
- the reason why I've splitted "concerns"/domains/contexts in multiple
wikis is because of the size: I don't want to have a big bloated wiki,
instead I want to have multiple ones
- one for the zettelkasten
- one for the bibliography
- individual ones for several domains like IT security, nutrition,
sports etc.
- one for collection of bookmarks
- etc.
- now when I create links e.g. from the *zettelkasten* to the
*bibliography* wiki, I also need to specify the location of the wiki as
well (like I've described at the beginning of this thread)
- imagine after some years you'll have hundreds of links from one
wiki to another
- let's say the location of one wiki changes (bib.html changes to
bibliography.html)
- then I'll have to update the links to reflect the new wiki location
(bibliography.html)
- and that's what I mean by "elegant"
- regardless of the method I use to interlink between multiple
wikis there should be a way to update multiple links easily
- and this solution should also work in 15 years :D
- one thing that is not solved yet (at least I haven't found a
solution):
- let's stick to the *zettelkasten* -> *bibliography* example (you
have several tiddlers in *zettelkasten* containing links to tiddlers
in *bibliography*)
- inserting links in the *zettelkasten* to some tiddlers in the
*bibliography* wiki is easy (I still use the macro mentioned before)
- but how do I show *backlinks* in the *bibliography* wiki?
- more specific: how can I show which tiddlers in the
*zettelkasten* wiki point to _this_ specific tiddler in the
*bibliography* wiki?
I hope my post is not that confusing. I'm looking forward to your comments
and suggestions.
