TW5 for Sharepoint Online

[Reece Shaw]

Greetings all,

I found an old thread here regarding using TW5 with sharepoint online. I have tried the same steps by changing my .HTML to .ASPX on a fresh wiki and uploading the file to a document library but the file itself wont load like a page, it just downloads another copy when trying to access the link. Anybody know how I can resolve this? Ideally I'd like to upload the file as a page but that doesn't seem to be possible.

Its possible its an issue of my company's security settings but I had our site admin try as well to no avail.

Thanks,

-Reece

Reece,

Happy to help with this. As admin I created a Wiki Library, in SharePoint for this purpose, and loaded the tiddlywiki file in as a page, with the aspx extension. I may have added the demand for check in and out after to this library.

• The reason I use the wiki library is my research previously showed that libraries used to deliver pages treat the file differently. They gain speed loading, no doubt something Microsoft does to prioritise such pages, but a splash screen indicator is still important.
• Tiddlywiki will always think it can save but you will get errors unless you have it checked out, so I only save on demand, not automatically.
• My client uses the wiki in production for business purposes, it's current size is around 5MB
• I hide draft versions from view, and make changes then publish a version after restoring a number of settings and values, so the viewer gets a consistent view.

Happy to help more if I can from a community point of view, but I am also available as a consultant.

Regards

Tony

Of late I have being using internet explorer to open the library in Windows explorer to enable the dragging and dropping of new wikis into the library, because the wiki library was harder to use, but of course I must return to the library and check-in etc...
