How best to upgrade external-core tiddlyhost file? To confirm my worry that it doesn’t stay external-core while following standard drag-and-drop upgrade path ( https://tiddlywiki.com/upgrade ) I just tried upgrading one of the projects that I initiated with tiddlyhost’s external-core option. Sure eno…

I don’t think it’s possible using the standard upgrade wizard , but here is a method that I’ve used successfully.

There is related documentation here Upgrading your standalone wiki at the bottom of Using the external JavaScript template It’s great you documented a method @simon , but surely there is another way? It seems to me one should be able to change the external-core tiddlyhost file reference, save and …

I guess this begs the question – what happens during an upgrade? If it’s just the core tiddlers getting replaced, then all you should have to do is point at the new core to be up and running. I suspect that there other things (e.g. configuration tiddlers) that have to happen too.

What is the “export tiddlywiki core” button referred to in those docs ? I can’t find that button anywhere. FWIW, I do think converting from a self-contained TiddlyWiki to an external core TiddlyWiki by modifying $:/config/SaveWikiButton/Template should work. Perhaps I’ll give that method a try soon. …

I feel like those instructions keep reverting to node.js, even though the targeted section is for stand-alone TW. Most people are not going to want to launch node.js just to create a stand-alone wiki. In any event, if you scroll up the instruction tiddler, you’ll see the button to export the core. I…

[image] simon: first use the normal upgrade process , then convert the resulting internal core TiddlyWiki back to external core like this . Great, thanks everyone! Maybe someday something like the standard drag-and-drop process can be streamlined for external-core files, but this is certainly …

Are all versions of the core supported on TiddlyHost? If not, is there a list? The reason I ask is, what if I have a wiki that I want to externalise the core, but don’t want to upgrade? (Because the upgrade would break some custom code). Thanks!

[image] TW_Tones: However I note here Using the external JavaScript template for single file wikis it must be in the current folder. It is not necessary to have the html files and corejs files in the same folder. For example tomzheng wiki — decentral 20k tiddlywiki <script src="https://to…

How do we hack TW to allow this? Thanks!

Loading tiddlywiki and plugins in html Tips & Tricks

Manually reduce the size of tiddlywiki without using cdruan’s external js plugin. cdruan updated this plugin two years ago, and the plugin also suggests to be careful with it. This time the topic, cdruan is not present either. So I tried the method of manually reducing the size of tiddlywiki. The result of the attempt was a file size reduction from 107KB to 14KB. There are some problems with the content of this topic above. But the topic can’t be edited anymore. So some revision updates are in…
