[tw] Re: [TW5] How to use images with node.js ?

I just hit this issue this evening and I have a better solution I'll be implementing for myself in the morning. Basically, I run the node server on my local box to be able to edit my tiddlers just as you'd expect. But I back the entire shebang with git and serve it up publicly via github pages.

[tw] Re: [TW5] How to use images with node.js ?

Thanks for sharing the macro. I use a slightly different one \define img(img, img_url) http://localhost:8084/$img_url$"; target="_blank">http://localhost:8084/$img$"/> \end because I want to link to the image: the image I display is a scaled-down version of the linked one. Even on the portable

Re: [tw] Re: [TW5] How to use images with node.js ?

Yes. I mean the process by which embedded images can be converted into external images. Then TW can then be rendered out of nodejs into a stand-alone TW. That would be good if you were going offline or away from home base. But when you came back, there is no way to take those external images an

Re: [tw] Re: [TW5] How to use images with node.js ?

Here Jeremy, Yes, all the work-arounds I suggested are currently doable. The problem with exporting images is that there isn't a reverse process for importing them (with embedded images) back into node.js. Is there a known hook or method somewhere in the code that would let you change image l

Re: [tw] Re: [TW5] How to use images with node.js ?

Just to point out that there is a GitHub issue addressing this point: https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/issues/1000 I can understand the frustration that TiddlyWiki doesn't do everything that you want, but would remind you that TiddlyWiki is an ongoing development; it's not finished yet. T

[tw] Re: [TW5] How to use images with node.js ?

Ok, using Michele's idea for http-server running on port 8084, I can define a macro like this: *\define images(image:"Bugs Bunny")* *<$macrocall $name="imagepath" image="$image$" path={{imagePath1}} />* *\end* *\define imagepath(image:"a",path:"b")* *[img[$path$$image$]]* *\end* Then with tiddl

Re: [tw] Re: [TW5] How to use images with node.js ?

It's effectively a text-only or mostly-text system if you plan to create a stand-alone TW (which is the only way I can see using it as a mobile reference). Images are large, so just a handful will bring your TW to a crawl -- especially on a mobile device. I'm guessing that the upper limits for

Re: [tw] Re: [TW5] How to use images with node.js ?

Hi Mark, I have asked the same question here and other people are interested in this. I agree that not having to install a webserver is very convenient and unfortunately my coding skills are not sufficient to add the feature mys

[tw] Re: [TW5] How to use images with node.js ?

Rules are always changing. TW itself violated the first rules of javascript. Remember javascript wasn't ever supposed to be able to write to the file system. For TW on nodejs to be of practical use (at least to me), it needs to serve up images. This doesn't seem like an unreasonable objective.

[tw] Re: [TW5] How to use images with node.js ?

Hi Michele & Mario, It's a little hard to understand the excitement about node.js. Apparently, in order to get images, I would have to install 2 servers (node & something else) and change all my image links OR I would have to convert all my images into tid files (which would laden the stand-al

[tw] Re: [TW5] How to use images with node.js ?

TW node server is no general purpose file server. So it doesn't serve files. If you want to serve files from your HD and have access to TW you'd need to add a proxy server in front of TW. eg. nginx This may be interesting: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/tiddlywiki/z8emI6_oKbw/KLfRhbYCDB8J ha
