Using external images

[edvafa]

I don't know if it has to do with the way Tiddloid handles files, but it seems it cannot display external images (not embedded within the HTML file). Specifically, I'm trying to load some PNGs and JPEGs inside a folder located in the same directory as the HTML file (like [img[relative/path/to/image.png]]). There's this other method, but it doesn't work either...

Thanks!

You can use directory mode or legacy mode. See the readme for details.

Thanks! I've ended up using the 'add folder' feature, that let's you do that with an index.html file

Are you using cloud services that support WebDAV? Now you can checkout the latest 2.2.0-pre version here (This is a pre-release with a debug package)

Bug/Usage tip for people looking to add external images in Tiddloid:

I installed Tiddloid and manually gave it file management permission before first run, and legacy mode didn't work. Not manually nor intents from the filemanager.

I had to clear all app data, which also removes permissions and then use the file manager to send the TiddlyWiki-html file to Tiddloid. But now it works very well!

Hmm... I just tried legacy mode and everything goes well. What version of system and Tiddloid are you using?

[ColdHotman]

Sorry for late reply. Everything works fine, it's just that I enabled the permissions before it was requested by the app. I posted to share the solution I found based on your comment in case others experienced the same.

It will be cool to have an in-app hint when loading a new wiki file - "if your wiki have external linking to local media/scripts - use legacy mode" or some similar approach.

In fact it is written in FAQ :)

Sounds like everything is done. Closing.
