I'm trying to set up a local directory for my project on node.js.

According to the directions, I can:

Place the PluginFolders containing the plugins in a plugins folder within the wiki folder

So my directory structure looks like:

  ~/Wikis/notowritey-n/plugins/MAS/NotoWritey/

Inside the NotoWritey directory I have several tiddlers and plugin.info, also per the directions.
Inside notowritey-n I have tiddlywiki.info, with a plugins section like this:

...
    "plugins": [
        "tiddlywiki/tiddlyweb",
        "tiddlywiki/filesystem",
        "tiddlywiki/highlight",
    "MAS/NotoWritey"
    ],
...

I launch node.js from the /Wikis directory. When I do I get a "cannot find MAS/NotoWritey" message.

My feeling is that there must be something I'm missing with the path information. But I've tried providing the complete path inside of tiddlywiki.info, and that didn't work either.

So, what do I have to do to get tiddlywiki to see my plugin folder (and plugin, of course) ?

Thanks!

Hi Mark

Plugins within the "plugins" subfolder of the wiki folder do not need to be listed in the tiddlywiki.info file.

Best wishes

Jeremy

Thanks for your answer Jeremy!

The missing bit of information here appears to be that the directory structure is different for local folders. The required structure appears to be:

plugins/myplugin

but the usual structure is

plugins/author/myplugin


Thanks again! I hope you are feeling better!
