Add a backlinks view to the exported documents
Thanks for the great plugin! I noticed that the backlinks at the bottom of the page are not hyperlinks. May I ask if this is a small bug?
Can you give me an example of what you mean by "backlinks at the bottom of the page? Maybe send a screenshot?
I am not sure how to add backlinks to the page like you have here. Is this from a plugin or is it built in?
Or is this just a link you have added manually? If it is linking to another file then you have to export both files not just one of them.
Hi, it's a core plugin. You can enable it from settings -> backlinks -> backlink in document. And the problem is that it's not a hyperlink, so it can't go to another page.
Hey thanks, I tried that but it doesn't seem to be the same thing as what you have:
Are you using an older version of obsidian maybe and this has been updated? I can definetly add support for this backlink pane, but again it doesn't seem like it's the same thing.
Hi, thanks for the help! It's the latest version and I think the look is different because of the theme. I use the shimmering focus. But I have not tested if the problem persists for the original theme (but I guess yes?).
Ahh, okay yes it would be the theme. The problem does still occur with any theme but it's good to know that I am actually seeing the same problem as you. I'll definetly fix this, and thanks for the report! :)
An update on this issue as I received another report of it:
Unfortunately, I am not sure this fix will come super soon since those links are controlled by an internal obsidian script so it would take a decent amount of work to get them to link up properly, and there is other stuff that is higher priority.
This will be fixed eventually though.
Is this being solved? if not, there should not be any backlinks at the bottom of any page, right? But it seems the exporter always puts it (actually just the HTML/CSS Skeleton) at the bottom of the "most recent note" in the vault.
this screenshot it taken from the generated site, and this appears only on the "most recent note" as I mentioned. every time we add a new note and regenerate the stuff, this skeleton moves to the most recent note.
Yes this is just a byproduct of having backlinks on. I do plan to do work on this to make it fully work in the future.
Note for future: When a note is exported with backlinks turned on they should be removed. Instead I would prefer for the plugin to generate it's own backlinks to be embedded into the document. This should, of course, be optional and independent of obsidian's backlinks feature.
Hi, @KosmosisDire , any updates? what's the timeline for "future" tagged issues?
Future issues have no timeline, just that they are something I will add but are not currently worked on.
However, for this specific issue I have actually implemented this in the dev branch already! So it will be coming out in the next release :)
