Shared, synced collection of macros between multiple wikis?

[David Allen]

I have two wikis which both have a large number of macros that are common between them.  Both are hosted on tiddlyspot.  I'd like to be able to modify one of these common macros in one wiki, then have it automatically update in the other wiki without having to worry about which ones I've re-imported or overwriting newer versions of macros I forgot I wrote.  Is it possible to do this within TiddlyWiki on Tiddlyspot?

On the Import tiddler which the import/browse widget brings up, there's diff & diff(fields) (differeential?) preview options which might help-- i hadn't figured it out myself yet

The is an option provided if you use wikilabs bundler - marios

https://wikilabs.github.io/editions/bundler/#%24%3A%2Fplugins%2Fwikilabs%2Fbundler

This adds Enable Overwrite Check

By default, the import mechanism overwrites existing tiddlers. By enabling this option, you can activate a mechanism, that creates a new tiddler name. By default this option is off.

tyvm Tony, I bumped this topic back up to the top of the list cause it looked like it was going to go unanswered-- hopefully your suggestion might be what the other person needs

The documentation on this is a mess/difficult to find.  I'm hesitant to install anything into my wiki if I can't read what it's supposed to do or have any good examples to use.

David,

The update process across wikis is like being able to update all word documents on your hard drive. Here some designer type notes, the first components you need are;

• Create a set or bundle of the items you wish to distribute to more than one wiki
• Get each wiki to subscribe in someway to that bundle of tiddlers
• The get it to automatically collect the tiddler bundle when changes occur to that bundle

However you do not have access to the server backend on tiddlyspot so the only way to trigger the update is when you load the specific instance of the wiki in your browser. Then perhaps a button or startup action could import the tiddlers then. This becomes just in time updates, just as you go to use the wiki it searches for updates.

I have being trying to establish a way to set up an import from a saved url method with no luck so far but this would help.

See the bookmarklet thread started by me. Your could pack the latest set of plugins in one of these and simply click to "re/install".
