Hi all, especially Eric,

I am having trouble getting LoadTiddlersPlugin to work on a TiddlyWiki
I am creating.

It will be a file that users can download, then in their downloaded
version they can click 'update' and it will invoke the plugin to load
any new or modified tiddlers from my online version, then save the
changes. I don't know if refreshing will be necessary.

The file is at http://www.giffmex.org/GiffmexNTdatabase.html

The tiddler with the loadTiddlers macro is called Story Menu.

LoadTiddlersPlugin is tagged excludeSearch so you have to get to it
via the hidden sidemenu.

I would appreciate any help I can get.

Dave

You wrote:
<<loadTiddlers label:update prompt:update updates "http://
www.giffmex.org/GiffmexNTdatabase.html" init nodirty autosave>>

Try this:
<<loadTiddlers "label:Update" "tag:update" http://www.giffmex.org/GiffmexNTdatabase.html
confirm>>

If my suggestion works - your trouble must have sth to do with the
quotes around label and tag...

Good luck!

Hijacking, since I've a problem with the same plugin

I'm using manual links rather than automatically - the ".system" tiddlers are updating from one (and staying), while the ".mq" are coming in tagged as temporary so they're subject to the temporary gizmo.

However I'm finding that when the .system tiddlers are getting updated they're getting tagged with "temporary" as well!!??

Not a huge deal but I thought worth mentioning. . .


----
<<loadTiddlers "label:update .system" "prompt:Reload .system tiddlers from master" tag:.system master_System.html>>

----
<<loadTiddlers "label:import .mq" "prompt:bring in temporary Master Quality tagging tiddlers" tag:.mq master_Qualities.html noreport temporary>>

<<option chkTemporaryKeep>> Keep temporary tiddlers (i.e., ignore the 'temporary' tag)

----
''Inappropriate tag combinations relating to the imports:''
{{threecolumns{
<<matchTags " • [[%0]]" "\n" .mq AND NOT temporary>>}}}
{{threecolumns{
<<matchTags " • [[%0]]" "\n" temporary AND NOT .mq>>}}}

Mans, your fix only went halfway.

Here is the message I get:

Opening http://www.giffmex.org/GiffmexNTdatabase.html
Found 1 tiddlers in http://www.giffmex.org/GiffmexNTdatabase.html
Loaded 0 of 1 tiddlers from http://www.giffmex.org/GiffmexNTdatabase.html

Why wont it load the tiddler?

I neglected to say I am using Firefox 5. Don't know if that
contributes to the problem. Hey, where is Eric? Too much celebrating
for 4th of July?

Hi Dave, I really like your site there...

Just thought one tweak might help: I noticed that if you click
"close" too many times, you end up with a blank page. Where a regular
TW user would figure it out, it might be nice to have a "home" link
maybe left of the search bar to start over, in that some users might
not even know to click the page refresh button in their browser

I think Firefox 5 is causing issues.  Import from backstage doesn't work either.  Seems that unless the referenced files are in the same local directory things are broken in Firefox 5

I think I have decided to leave the updating feature out of the
equation.

Thanks, Dave, for the idea. I have put a 'home' link in the story
menu.

Or just set up the LoadTiddlers/Import process as an explicit "update" button, and put a notice to use something other than FF5 for that particular, presumably infrequent step. It would be very rare for a user not to have an alternative browser available, and these issues will likely be resolved as FF5 and TW evolve over time. . .
