Re: Can't import local TiddlyWiki file to Tiddlyspot.com

[PMario]

Hi Lara,
Did you download your starting TW from tiddlyspot. If no, there are
some plugins missing, needed to upload it again to tiddlyspot.

An easy way would be to create a tiddlyspot account
download this TW
import your tiddlers
upload

but ....

The second and bigger problem is, that all major browsers have changed
there security restrictions. So it is not possible anymore, to easily
upload file TWs to tiddlyspot. You'll need an older brwoser to do so.
I think version <= 4 should still do the job.

You can search this forum. Måns has written some more info about
this.

I did search the TW group with: upload tiddlyspot Måns

hope this helps

I actually downloaded my empty HTML file from http://www.tiddlywiki.com/, so yeah, I might be lacking some plugins. I've checked out your links but I'm afraid all the steps required to test this seem a bit too much work at the moment; I'm still in the process of transferring my notes from old documents. I guess I'll stick to syncing my local files through Dropbox in the meantime, and work this out when I'm in that mode. Thank you very much for your reply, anyway. :)

Hey Lara,

Why no just Import tiddlers from your local TW file into the TiddlySpot? That's what I would do anyway. Just open the Tiddlyspace doodah from the backstage and Import/Export. Then open your local TW file and choose the tiddlers that you want. There's an indication about which ones are duplicates so you don't overwrite anything important.

I get the message "cancel Error retrieving tiddlers from url, please ensure this url exists and is CORS enabled".

So is Firefox 4.0 the only solution? Sounds so strange...

And can I upgrade the core of my tiddlyspot wiki?

If you want to upload from a file to tiddlyspot. IMO yes

OK. I downloaded Firefox 4.0

While trying to import a local file it still says "Error: A script from "http://[...].tiddlyspot.com" was denied UniversalFileRead privileges."

Then it again gives CORS error.

What am I doing wrong?

[Argh - my post disappeared]

Briefly:
I use FFlatest without problems. I don't know why it works but here are some factors that might be the reason:

1) Use TiddlyFox
2) Create a tiddler with the following (but exchange YOURNAME for the name of your tiddlyspot site). Notice that the weird dots and spaces towards the end must stay intact:

<<option txtUserName>><<option pasUploadPassword>>|
|<<upload http://YOURNAME.tiddlyspot.com/store.cgi index.html . .  YOURNAME>>

As mentioned a few weeks back uploading to tiddlyspot worked pretty well with FFlatest.... but today it stopped working. This most likely has something to do with it:

Unrelated to TW, I decided to uninstall Java after getting some supposed alerts about java vulnerabilities on a site. I suspected they were not real java alerts so disregarded them but as I've read java isn't really a necessity I figured I'd just uninstall it and 'see what happens'. I did - and one thing that appearently happened is tiddlyspot uploading stopped working. (So - is local java necessary for TW and/or tiddlyspot?)
Ok, so re-installed java. Unfortunately it still does ot work.

This makes me conclude that the problems lie in new java updates. I'm pretty sure I had one of the later java updates when it until earlier today. There was a big hullabaloo some months ago about a java vulnerability and they quickly released a 7.x version which I'm sure I installed. There have been a few minor updates since, I believe.

With FF java is _not_ needed, nor is it used for saving. Saving is done with TiddlyFox, if installed. If TiddlyFox is not installed, FF can't save to a file.

As browser vendors started to restrict there security measures, there where some workarounds, to manually grant a file TW "privileged file access  rights". imo this setting was per "file name". They totally removed this possibility with a later FF version. FF v21 shouldn't even contain be the code that made this possible.

IMO if latest FF (v21) did upload one of your files to tiddlyspot, they would consider it a bug.

Interesting. One thing I do notice (since yesterday) is that the TiddlyFox popup at load does not appear. TiddlyFox is still installed (I did not touch it). Could TiddlyFox perhaps communicate/depend on java somehow?
