Is it possible to use text editors to create tiddlers??

[kelsang sherab]

Is it possible to

1. create tiddlers with text editor
2. save them somewhere
3. and when I open TW it immidiately treats the file as a tiddler?

I have on my machine both

• tiddley desktop
• and node.js server

thanks

Yes what you ask is possible,

Drag and drop any text file to a TiddlyWiki and it becomes a tiddler. Or use the Import PageView Icon

Even json files and others as long as the content is not binary.

The title will be set to the filename, and you may then want to annotate, rename, tag etc.. in tiddlywiki.

If you construct correctly formatted tid files you could import/drag and drop those with the desired titles, fields and Tags.

Export a tid file and edit it to see

The multiuser plugin allows you to create or edit tiddlers for a wiki running in node.js and the changes are immediately synced to the browser. The plugin git repo is here: https://github.com/OokTech/TW5-MultiUser

You have to list any fields in the text file and the file extension has to be .tid, here is a simple example tiddler file:

title: A tiddler title
field_name: field contents

and the text goes here

If you don't want to use plugins than you can create your files in the tiddlers folder of your wiki while the node server is not running and as long as they are properly formatted when you start your wiki they will be in it. Without the multiuser plugin when you edit or create a file you either have to import it like Tony suggested or restart the node server.

Thank you both
I managed the first way - iimporting

I'll try the node.js later
But i am confident it'll work.

Thanks again
