MS Teams / one drive

[mohamed maghrabi]

Any one managed to put tiddly wiki content into Microsoft teams or one drive.  i know they dont support Html , but is that the end of it ? or does any one has any tricks ?:)

[Stobot]

I might be misunderstanding your question, but yes, I host most of my wikis in OneDrive for Business / SharePoint and in Teams - the trick is to rename from .html to .aspx first.

[Stobot]

It's odd, but I feel like the TiddlyWiki home page used to contain some notes around the ASPX "trick" as it uses WebDAV (I think), but I can't find anything about it now. It's surprising because it's one of the absolute simplest "savers". 

Note for clarity that my understanding is that there's enough technical difference between normal OneDrive and OneDrive for Business / SharePoint that it makes a difference.

Thanks Sto,

but are you able to actualy browse the content from within Teams /one drive ? so actually view  the contents of the file ?

[Stobot]

Good question - had to test it. 

• "Hosting" the files in the teams files area and open/operating it normally - no, can't get that to work.
• "Hosting" the file in OneDrive / SharePoint as .aspx, then adding it as a *tab* in teams and working normally - yes, can confirm this works for me.

As a side note - a while ago I was stuck trying to get BOB to work within Teams for a long time, and eventually strung together a workaround that worked (at least I'm pretty sure, not using it now). I built a blank HTML with an iframe to my BOB ip address, then saved THAT as aspx on SharePoint so it had an https:// address, which Teams then allowed me to include as a website.

Mohamed,

I have not tried teams/one drive, but I have used it in SharePoint so some of the techniques may help. Rename the single file wiki html to .aspx and use the check in and out facilities in SharePoint to ensure serial editing only. You can make it until checked in users see the previous version. 

I have a hack I discovered, place such tiddlywiki's inside a wiki library/folder because office 365 adds a performance improvement to files there in as they need to be more performance responsive to be practical.

From memory there is a one drive saving tool as well.

Regards

Tones is spot on with simply renaming the empty.html to empty.aspx 

It  just works, years on, Office 365 OneDrive complete with version history and tw encryption.  Kind of magical!

Best,

Hi folks, this is a helpful thread .....

When I try  to rename my file "empty.html" to "empty.aspx" my onedrive renames it to "empty.aspx.html" which doesn't really help.

I realize this is more Microsoft365 than TiddlyWiki ..... but having just been required to make the move from Google to M365, I'm trying to see if I can use onedrive / sharepoint to host/serve TW files. So far, no success.... :(

Thanks,

//steve.

Yea, Windows has made this (renaming extensions) a little harder over the years... There is probably a better way to do it, but I use command line to do it. So for instance, I usually save the empty.html to my desktop so c:\users\stobot\desktop\empty.html 

So, my steps are (replace stobot with your username):

1. Open command prompt (type cmd after clicking windows start button)
2. Navigate to where your file is via cd so cd c:\users\stobot\desktop
3. Do the rename here so rename empty.html empty.aspx

Your file explorer may not show the file extension. So renaming the extension is hard. You may do the following:

have fun!
