using saveFile from Core

[skye riquelme]

Hi All

The core has a function called saveFie (and also loadFile)..... it is used in various parts of the core and various plugins..... how can I use it directly???

Ideally I want to be able to do something like, backup some locally stored data (in case people clear the navigator history!!)...so -
<script>
var contents=localStorage.getItem("diario");
var target="diario.txt";
var save=saveFile(target,conents);
</script>

How  can I get this to work?
Thanks
Skye

Saving tiddler or other text contents to local files is easy,
the difficult task is to find the path of your local folder to save
them, try this:

<script>
getWikiPath= function (folderName) {
var originalPath = document.location.toString();
if (originalPath.substr(0, 5) != 'file:') {
alert(config.messages.notFileUrlError);
if (store.tiddlerExists(config.messages.saveInstructions))
story.displayTiddler(null, config.messages.saveInstructions);
return;
}
var localPath = getLocalPath(originalPath);
var backSlash = localPath.lastIndexOf('\\') == -1 ? '/': '\\';
var dirPathPos = localPath.lastIndexOf(backSlash);
var subPath = localPath.substr(0, dirPathPos) + backSlash
+ (folderName ? folderName + backSlash: '');
return subPath;
}

var folder=getWikiPath("storagefolder");
var target="diario.txt";
var contents=localStorage.getItem("diario");

saveFile(folder+target,contents);
displayMessage("save done");
</script>

that's your main (big) problem.

Firefox versions over 14.0 should be considered deprecated for
TiddlyWiki, due to the progressive and definitive removal of essential
functionalities tied with the enableprivilege() function [1], without
giving any kind of support to users that still need them.

As you can read in other threads, Jeremy is striving to fill this hole
with his TiddlyFox (firefox) plugin, but unfortunately, this doesn't
address ALL instances where the TWCore uses the enablePrivilege()
function (cite from Eric Shulman).

If you can't downgrade Firefox to a version lower (or equal) than 14.0,
try to install the tiddlyfox plugin [2], or, if you are on MS Windows,
use Internet Explorer instead.
