Hello, Tobias :)
I am using your Link Images Macro to display external images that I use as
backgrounds for a Blog I'm working on (Many Thanks for it, it works great!
:) )
What I'd like to know is, is there a way to have it display images stored
locally on ones hard drive, instead of out on the Internet?
I know, that's kinda the opposite of what it was made for, but I'd like for
my users to be able to display their own files from their computers,
without having to upload them somewhere, or bloat their TW with
base-64-encoded image tiddlers.
I have tried using various formatted file links in the _canonical_URI
field, but none work perfectly:
If I use *file://Drive:/Folder/Image.jpg* or
*file:///Drive:/Folder/Image.jpg*, a thumbnail of the image appears in the
Background Switcher display, but when clicked on, it just blanks the
background of the page instead of displaying the image.
If I enclose either of those in quotation marks,
*"file://Drive:/Folder/Image.jpg"* or "*file:///Drive:/Folder/Image.jpg"*,
the image does not appear in the Background Switcher (but I have a CSS
hover: background-color declaration on the links, so I can see that it IS
there), but when clicked on, the background does change to that image.
Any ideas?
Here is the complete code for the Background Switcher:
<span style="display: block; text-align: center; font-size: 160%; font-
weight: bold; color: #FF0000;">B.O.Y.S.<br>Backgrounds On Your Screen
:Þ</span><hr><$linkcatcher
to="$:/themes/tiddlywiki/vanilla/settings/backgroundimage">
<div style="border: 2px solid silver; border-radius: 10px; height: 355px;
overflow: auto;">
<$list filter="[tag[Background]sort[title]]">
<$macrocall $name="linkimg" tiddler=<<currentTiddler>> image=<
<currentTiddler>> tooltip=<<currentTiddler>> width="128"/>
</$list>
{{currentTiddler}}
</div>
<hr>
<$link to="">
<div style="width: 100%; text-align: center;"><$button><$action-setfield
$tiddler="$:/themes/tiddlywiki/vanilla/settings/backgroundimagesize"
$value="contain"/>Fullscreen</$button> <$button><$action-setfield
$tiddler="$:/themes/tiddlywiki/vanilla/settings/backgroundimagesize"
$value="cover"/>Widescreen</$button> <$button>Clear
Background</$button></div>
</$link>
</$linkcatcher>
