makes sense to me 🙂

makes sense to me. fyi, for any interested bystanders, this is the relevant part of the code -> https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/blob/master/packages/plugin-core/src/commands/VaultAddCommand.ts#L208:L208 dendron development docs here -> https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/81da87be-2d4e-47b5-a1d6-c0d647e1ab00.html

Thanks for the code reference @User, always appreciated. I created https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/issues/1186

is there a way to autocomplete in the search bar?

oh hey it's @codefriar ! your server is still alive and kicking 😀

all the way in Vancouver now 😆

what to do trying to import files

I'm curious about the "insecure by design" part of this. Do you have any links to where I could read more about that? I'd been thinking of moving from Dropbox to Nextcloud, so I'd definitely appreciate learning more!

No I don’t have any papers for you to read, sorry. I was an ops engineer for a phone using company. I had a bad experience. A really bad experience. Involving the theft of 40M email addresses

Due to a php bug

Yikes. (Which really doesn't sound adequate.) Thanks for sharing that experience / warning!

To be fair, this was 2010. So I’ll admit there’s likely water under the bridge

*UPDATE: These questions have been resolved to my satisfaction! * ~~Hi! I'm trying to build a website out of a vault and I'm running into problems. I'm new to Dendron and fairly new to coding so I'm hoping that someone here will be able to ELI5. I successfully installed Dendron a little over a month or so ago and began playing with it and writing notes. I'm running it in its own workspace in vscode, and I work on other projects there at the same time. I built a local preview site just to see how it worked and it was fine. I thought that was pretty neat! Now I want to use Dendron to publish some new notes to the web. I followed a recent conversation here and used Dendron to create a new workspace and vault separate form my original one. I wrote a note, and then tried to create a local preview site of the new vault, this is where I've run into problems. I followed the commands here https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/1399b5d2-28fb-4077-aa5f-c8edbe52bc5d.html and the first issue was running into a bunch or warnings that suggested

npm audit fix

. Running that command didn't fix anything and came back with the same warnings. I couldn't remember if I had run into that on my first vault, so I went ahead and ran

npx dendron buildSite  --stage dev --serve

It did spin up a site but the formatting was all out of wack - things that were meant to be an a new line were all pushed together. I then went back to my first Dendron workspace to see how that build looked now and it was fine. So I went back to the new workspace, ran the setup commands again, and this time when I ran

npx dendron buildSite  --stage dev --serve

I got a page that said this "Cannot GET /notes/Nz22JtWGJjAVaRcm.html" So I seem to only be succeeding in making things worse. I'd really appreciate it if anyone here can point me in the right direction and help me get up and running!~~

what version of the cli are you running? you can check by running ‘dendron —version’ latest version should be 55.1

Strange, I get

command not found: dendron

. I did run

npm install @dendronhq/dendron-cli@latest

per the setup instructions, and I ran it again just now for good measure with the same result. I am using terminal in vscode and I am in the workspace directory, one level up from the vault. I'm on MacOS Catalina and my shell is zsh. Update: I dug a little deeper and ran

npm install -g @dendronhq/dendron-cli

. dendron is now a recognized command in my terminal and I'm running 0.55.1. I see the error of my ways! I figured out the "Cannot get..." thing, and as to the formatting, it appears that Mardown Preview Enhanced displays things a little differently than both the site preview and an vscode unenhanced preview. 2 small questions: 1 - Given that "root" is the site's landing page, how do I get it not display "Root" as the header of its page? 2 - How do I change the sidebar header to the name of my site instead of "Dendron"? Thanks for your patience with all my newbie questions!

All good. Publishing is still too complicated and its something we're still working on simplifying. In the meanwhile - 1. You can set the root to be a custom note using the

siteIndex

prop -> https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/f2ed8639-a604-4a9d-b76c-41e205fb8713.html#siteindex 2. See changing the

title

prop -> https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/f2ed8639-a604-4a9d-b76c-41e205fb8713.html#title

Still learning about dendron....The way I take notes is to put them all into a scratch note and then break out those line items into different notes in separate hierarchies. Can I do this by selecting the text? I noticed that if I select the text in a hierarchy, do a lookup and create a new note, it does not pull my text over. However, If i do the exact steps inside of a hierarchy and create a note inside that hierarchy, it does work.

it should. this behavior is defined by the

selectionType

modifier. docs here -> https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/ad270a7d-2aed-4273-8319-eb6536e38b29.html#selectiontype extracting the text is the default behavior. if its not happening then its a bug 😅

I swear, i tried it twice and it didnt work. I just tried it again and it worked from a scratch note. User error probably. My bad.

We are doing some major overhaul of how lookup works internally at the moment, so it being a bug is entirely possible. If it happens again any time in the future, could you run

Dendron:dev : Diagnostics Report

and

Dendron:dev : Open Logs

and share/dm the output to me? If it doesn't contain any personal information, creating an issue would also work. 🙏

Thanks, that worked!

I'm sorry to be asking such a basic question, but I'm having problems with my links between Dendron pages. What I've been doing has been working in Markdown Enhanced Preview so I thought I'd been doing it right, but it doesn't work when I preview the site I'm attempting to publish. If I'm editing

note.md

what should my link to a new note look like? I'd been using

[[New Note|new-note.md]]

. I want the text of the link on the page to be "New Note". If someone would spell out the process to me as if I were a five year old I'd be very grateful! None of the permutations I've tried have worked.

You need to take out the

.md

part.

Otherwise Dendron looks for

new-note.md.md

.

You can also use the "Dendron: Copy Note Link" command with the new note open, and it will put a link for that note in your clipboard

Thank you, the .md was a mis-type on my part, it wasn't really there on my actual page. I tried using "Dendron: Copy Note Link" and it still doesn't work on my preview build site. Here's what I've tried:

md
[[class-resources]]

[[Class Resources|class-resources]]

![[class-resources]]

The last one displays the contents of the page I'm trying to link to, which is not what I want, and still doesn't let me click on anything to get to the page itself.

Do they work if you Ctrl+click on them in the editor?

Yes, they all do. On the preview site when I try to click on the first two I get a popup that says, " This page has not yet sprouted"

If you are having problems with the preview, make sure to use "Dendron Preview V2", or the Dendron Markdown Preview extension. The built-in preview doesn't support all Dendron features.

For the preview site, I can take a look if you have it published somewhere, or if you can send me the logs. It should work, it could be a bug.
