Mark, That seems interesting, but I would really like to be able to link to the tiddlers in the included file, not sure if that is possible in Tobias' plugin... I need a better look.
I know that this was available in TW classic, such as the inlcude plugin <http://tiddlywiki.abego-software.de/#IncludePlugin>, there is a whole thread here in the TW group <https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en#!searchin/tiddlywiki/sharing$20$2F$20importing$20external$20tiddlers$20/tiddlywiki/rQz8aDt76vQ/JNY4LX-_fAcJ> discssing it, and it's various offshoots. The question is how is TW5 so different that these TW classic plugins don't work for TW5 ? Are they relatively easy to make them TW5 compatible ? Hegart, I hear what you are saying, if there was a way to create a 'permanent' import external TW file with a bunch of pre set fields that would work for me, add in the required settings a single time in that system tiddler, then just use a 'refresh' button when required would be a workable solution as far as I am concerned. Much like the current import tiddler, but with the location of the external tiddler already available D On Wednesday, April 13, 2016 at 7:17:19 PM UTC+2, Mark S. wrote: > > There's supposed to be the ability to link to external tid files using > _canonical_uri.
