saving Node.js-served wiki to Tiddlyspot directly

[Rustem]

What would be the most direct way to upload my node.js-served wiki to Tiddlyspot? Do I need to save my wiki as a single file first, before I can successfully upload it to Tiddlyspot? Or can I somehow switch to the appropriate "saver" temporarily, just for the upload?

I tried to follow the instructions (http://tiddlywiki.com/#Saving%20on%20TiddlySpot) directly, nothing happens. It says "saving", but tiddlyspot remains unchanged, presenting a default TWC.

To be clear, I am not interested in any kind of back-and-forth synchronization. Strictly one-way publishing to TS. I'm happy maintaining the wiki using node.js.

I wish it were possible but AFAIK you can't host TWnode.js on tiddlyspot. For one thing, you cannot get a folder (for holding the TWnode.js files).

As you found out. Direct save is not possible

If you served your TW from your nodejs installation you get it from http://localhost which is a domain. http://tiddlyspot.com is a different domain. .. So due to browser security restrictions, this isn't allowed.

IMO 2 possibilities:

 - You create a single file TW from your local copy. .. With nodejs. Just build it. It's relatively easy. ...
    - Then upload this file as described.

 - It would be also possible to create a tiddlers.json file that contains just your recent changes.
   - Serve your TW from tiddlyspot.com and import your tiddlers. .. If TW is served from tiddlyspot.com it can be saved back.

If someone has better ideas. ... Just let us know :)

have fun!

It's actually really easy: run your Node.js wiki in the usual way. Visit Control Panel "Saving" tab and enter your TiddlySpot "wiki name". When you want to save a snapshot to TiddlySpot just click the "save changes" button in the sidebar. A snapshot of the wiki (without the client-server plugins) will be saved to TiddlySpot. Tiddlers are still synced to the server in the usual way, too. I tested the procedure in Chrome; I'd expect Firefox to complain about the cross-origin form post (but there's probably a flag you can use to suppress that).

Best wishes

Jeremy

Yes, it works! I was putting the full URL into the Wiki Name field, so it was failing silently. Some message would be helpful, like "Tiddlyspot wiki does not exist, check the name". When a password is wrong, the message is very clear.

thanks!
