Upgrading from 2.6.1 and 2.6.2 to 2.7.1 - successful method notes
Greetings all -
Thanks so much for all the great work from so many that made TW the main class page of all my classes. I recently found I'd not updated in a while and it might not work. I have at least one TW for each class. I see others here had that problem, so I'm making a new post in hopes my notes may help others.
I recently upgraded about 20 TWs from 2.6.1 and 2.6.2 to 2.7.1
Went through some hoops - took notes so I can remember when I find more to upgrade - here they are, YMMV, hope this helps:
tiddly wiki upgrade notes
macbook pro 2011 current OS FF v12
** Seems core upgrades or tiddler imports may not work unless both TWs are at root level, or only 1 folder in, and in same folder. Many of my TWs are 6 folders deep - that could be it.
I've seen this previously with upgrades/imports of other versions, so I'm working at desktop level here.
test
- 6.2 6.3 won’t upgrade directly to 2.7.1
- 2.7.1 won't import from 2.6.2 or 3
- got the v 2.6.3 2.6.4 from TW archive
- got 6.2 to export (using import) to 6.3, then import to 6.4 in the same folder at root level
- would /not/ import to 2.6.5 hmmm
- BUT 2.6.4 upgraded to 2.7.1 when in the same folder at root level
- upgraded TW tested ok
- discovered I can import to 2.6.4 directly and skip one step
- tested with 2.6.2 and 2.6.1 TWs direct to 2.6.4
end test
-----
current upgrade method:
(worked with versions as far back as 2.6.1)
1 copy old file to root folder
2 put copy of 264 next to it
3 import to 264 from old file
4 then upgrade core of 264 to 271 and rename
5 move back to home folder, make a copy as backup, keep original file in case (belt and suspenders)
6 test
