importing ancient TiddyWiki classic content into TiddlyWiki5

[csv...@gmail.com]

Hi everyone,

I've spent a good amount of time looking around on google and this group but nothing has worked even moderately well for me so far. I was hoping someone here could help. If a solution has been proposed for this problem and I haven't found it, please point me to it.

Background if you're interested:
Back in 2005/2006, I switched my homepage to tiddlywiki. To make the layout just right, I modified the html files a bit [nothing too drastic]. I've just been updating the content in it since then. But now, since I cannot modify the content anymore on Firefox [even with Tiddlyfox] I was forced to consider upgrading to TiddlyWiki5 so I can keep my homepage content current. The trouble is that when I use the import option in the new empty.html [TiddlyWiki5] , it only imports one of the tiddlers containing my publication list. Everything else is not imported and no error messages are thrown. 

Short version:
Can anyone suggest a solution to my import issues?
The homepage I want to import into TiddlyWiki5 is at
http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~vsingh/

thank you.

Hi Vikas,
it's a very old version of tw (1.2.32) so it is a bit awkward (to explain how) to upgrade, so I have done it for you -

Once you have saved it from tiddlyspot let me know here and I will delete it.

cheers

BJ,

I was under the impression that conversion to TW5 was not technically possible. I have a few I'd like to convert."

HI Alex,
first you have to import to tw2.x - there is an import button on the backstage area.
cheers

Hi BJ,

This is extremely helpful and saved me a ton of effort. Thanks again

once you have your tiddlers in, say, 2.8.1, you can (from a file system browser) drag your twfile.html and drop it onto a tw5 to import the tiddlers
