I needed to enable saving some temp tiddlers on node.js to facilitate development and found setting that up a bit more involved than expected. In case anyone else runs into the same need, the filters in both $:/config/SyncFilter and $:/core/save/all needed to be adjusted.
The latter surprised me at first but it makes sense since that is the template the node.js sever renders to serve the wiki.
Instead of modifying $:/core/save/all, you can define a global macro named publishFilter that contains the necessary filter adjustments. Thus:
To “save/serve” all $:/temp tiddlers, create a tiddler (e.g., “$:/config/PublishFilter”), tagged with $:/tags/Macro, containing:
\define publishFilter() [prefix[$:/temp]]
Hi Eric, that is indeed what I ended up doing and also adjusted the syncFilter to also use the publishFilter, so as to not have the same logic duplicated in two different places.
Perhaps $(publishFilter)$ should be added to the TWCore version of $:/config/syncFilter? I suggest opening an “IDEA” ticket on GitHub.
