Exporting all tiddlers under a specific tiddler

[Shay Shaked]

I am going to upload a part of my TW to my website (as an HTML file) and I'm trying to find a way to export all Tiddlers under my "Tech" Tiddlers to a new TW HTML file. I am trying to see if I can automate te process. 

The individual Tiddlers "under" the main "Tech" tiddlers are not necessarily Tagged as "Tech," they are tagged by a child tiddler which is inside the big "Tech". 

To visualize, let's say my TOC looks something like this: 

Tech

|

|----- MacOS (tagged "Tech")

|          |----- Tiddler A (tagged "MacOS")
|

|-----ChromeOS (tagged "Tech")

|          |----- Tiddler B (tagged "ChromeOS")
|          |----- Tiddler C (tagged "ChromeOS")
|

|-----Windows (tagged "Tech")

           |----- Tiddler D (tagged "Windows")

What I need is to export a TW HTML file with the above four tiddlers, which are not all necessarily tagged as "Tech," as this will result of all of these tiddlers showing under Tech in the TOC. 

How would you guys go at this? please let me know. Thanks!

Well, for now, my go-around solution is this: 

1. Manually open all Tiddlers under Tech, including the ones that are not actually tagged with "Tech"
2. Tag them all (using a tool found here) with a new tag, SSTech
3. Continue tagging every new tech related tag with SSTech (will be nice to have something that does this automatically, if it exist, I could convert it also to do what I wanted in the first place)
4. Export from the advanced search, looking for that tag. 

Now that I know the advance search is actually the go-to tool for specific tiddler export, I will focus my search around finding tiddlers under a tag, not exporting tiddler under a tag.

Even better: the TOC (toc-selective-expandable) gives me exactly what I need already. if I can create a TOC for the "tech" part of my TW (not a problem) and then somehow tell advance search to search for that TOC, I could export all tiddlers matching this search. The question is, how do I tell advance search to look for a certain TOC? Hmmmm

Hi Shay

Try this on tiddlywiki.com in the “Filter” tab of advanced search:

[[TableOfContents]] [[TableOfContents]tagging[]] [[TableOfContents]tagging[]tagging[]] 

The result is the tiddlers comprising the first three levels of the TOC. To include another levels, just add the another term to the end:

[[TableOfContents]] [[TableOfContents]tagging[]] [[TableOfContents]tagging[]tagging[]] [[TableOfContents]tagging[]tagging[]tagging[]]

Best wishes

Jeremy, it's an honor to have you reply to my post directly :-)

I see what you're doing here. I changed to Tech in my case, so: 

[[Tech]] [[Tech]tagging[]] [[Tech]tagging[]tagging[]] 

It works. It gives me a list of all the tiddlers that are eventually under Tech. It looks rather simple! 

Now that the first question is answered (thanks!!) the new question is how to export these as an independent wiki, with it's own TOC at the side etc. If I export as HTML, I get all tiddlers open in one big river. 

The solution to that would be to create SSTech as a wiki first, then import the tiddlers into the wiki each time. That's actually not much more work than simply overwriting the HTML on my site. I will need to create a new TOC and set up my new Wiki to work with the same configurations, but this will be a one-time deal. I think I can work with this. 

Thanks again!
