Hello!
I just started using tiddlywiki, and it seems interesting, but I’m confused about something. I would like to have some kind of web-based way to use my tiddlywiki (currently using tiddlyhost), but it would be nice to have a way to edit my files offline and sync it when I get back onto the internet. I setup the saver plugin in my tiddlydesktop app, and set my wiki url in the configuration, but when I press save, nothing happens on the website. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Welcome @zero
First if you browse to an internet or network hosted tiddlywiki, it is loaded into browser memory, and you can save back to the host, you can then actually go off line with it and only save on your return to connectivity. You can boost this with the local storage plugin (There are caveats). If not careful you could save over previous changes.
to do this you may need to choose a server or internet host.
OR
A solution that also does the syncing for you (outside tiddlywiki)
I think the best place to start may be to review the saving methods see the tiddlywiki.com Getting Started and see what sounds possible for you. Take a simply empty.html file or node wiki, change or add to it and try different approaches to see what is best.
Don’t hesitate to ask more questions.
Early versions of browsers did allow that setting, but they removed that possibility due to security concerns.
I’m not 100% sure, since I don’t use tiddlydesktop, but I think that restriction is also applied by the web-engine that is used by tiddlydesktop.
You should be able to add changes if you start your wiki directly from tiddlyhost.
As a workaround you can make your changes locally → save → Drag&Drop import the whole wiki to a tab started from tiddlyhost. …
So you can select the tiddlers that should be imported and than → save to tiddlyhost.
That’s not optimal, but a simple workaround.
You can also export the tiddlers, that you changed into a JSON file and only import those. … .It will make the “import dialogue” for the tiddlyhost version much simpler. There will only be the tiddlers that you exported.
The workflow that would work is to use the download drop-down on TH to download a copy of your TW file. Then edit your downloaded file on tiddlydesktop. When you’re ready to upload, use the upload drop-down on TH to find your file and send it back to TH.
