Hello Tony,
thanks a lot for your interest. I think the ability to work with
external ressources would enable us to new and "unothodox" Uses of
TiddlyWiki.
Unorthodox because they contradict the single file concept of TW.
This is why importing the .txt is not the solution.
https://szenio.de/Test/post/Posttester/Jan_Test.txt is created by a php
which allows students to post to the wiki and to modify the posts during
the session see https://szenio.de/Test/post/Posttester. The posts are
then shown on the sidebar and I am importing into a mod of admls Mentat
you find here: http://szenio.de/pin. (On the Desktop you can drag an
entry to the pin and show it...) It is all work in progress so i did not
show it to the group yet.)
So this is why I need a new way to
-display txt-files configurably
-use them inside widgets (like converting them it them into tiddlers)
-and it would be great it I could make them *refresh* on click.
Best wishes Jan

I would like this as well, If we could only access the content of an
external text file we could easily interrogate the status of something
that say a server process set or another user deposited.
I believe using the html object to display a file should provide us
the opportunity if not with a button click or trigger, it is after all
on the screen in front of us, I can use the mouse to select and copy
it so why can I not get a TiddlyWiki process to capture it. I believe
a refresh of the tiddler does refresh the file from disk.
However not withstanding the value I see in this, Perhaps there is
another way to achieve what you are after. Have you considered
importing the text file, or giving each student their own wiki and
exporting/importing tiddlers created by their username?
Importing from external resources
Try this - Go to TiddlyWiki.com then use import and rather than
provide a local file provide the following url
https://tiddlywiki.com/prerelease/index.html
This will open the whole prerelease wiki and you can select one or all
tiddlers to import.
I tested also importing a text file such as
https://psat.com.au/tiddlywiki/Readme.txt and it worked
The Browse widget also works for html/tiddlywiki files but not for txt
files
Perhaps you could build an independant process to collect all the
students text files and create a local copy then use <$browse
multiple> and select all the text files and import them in one step
Also
In the pre-release there is a local storage and an Innerwiki plugin
that may solve a number of related needs.
Regards
Tony

I made an attempt on http://szen.io/Test/ to solve the Problem but
I am stuck...

Hi Jed, Hi everybody!
I am beginning to grasp the difference of widgets and macros
which I mixed up on http://szen.io/Test/ would you propose to
make a widget or a macro to display refreshing txt.files...
Have you found a solution?
Best wishes Jan

My last post may be almost completely wrong. It is one way that
you could handle the problem but I think that your example is
not far from working. One problem you have is you are mixing a
javascript macro with a widget, the two are different and having
pieces of both is causing trouble.
I will look at this for a bit longer and I may have something to
help a little at least.
