My personal tiddlywiki don't load themes

[Châu Thân Đức Hoàng]

I setup my personal tiddlywiki on OpenShift. But it don't load themes.

This is my code to start it.

var $tw = require("./boot/boot.js").TiddlyWiki();
$tw.boot.argv = [
  process.env.OPENSHIFT_DATA_DIR,
  "--server",
  process.env.OPENSHIFT_NODEJS_PORT,
  "$:/core/save/all",
  "text/plain",
  "text/html",
  "usename",
  "password",
  process.env.OPENSHIFT_NODEJS_IP,
];
$tw.boot.boot();

Please help me.

Thanks.

PS: I don't know about argurement of $tw. Where do I read it?

Hi Châu

That's an unusual way to start TiddlyWiki. I'm guessing that you modded tiddlywiki.js from the TW5 repo?

Anyhow, have you initialised your data directory? To be a valid wiki folder you need to create a tiddlywiki.info file. The usual way of doing that is via the command line:

tiddlywiki my_data_dir --init server

Best wishes

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to do a similar deployment in OpenShift based on the blog:

http://ericmiao.github.io/blog/2014/04/05/setup-personal-tiddlywiki-on-openshift/

I ended up with the same issue with the themes.

Hello,

I'm still wrestling to figure out themes.  I looked at the boot.js and found a config block as shown below:

config: { // Configuration overridables
 pluginsPath: "../plugins/",
 themesPath: "../themes/",
 languagesPath: "../languages/",
 editionsPath: "../editions/",
 wikiInfo: "./tiddlywiki.info",
 wikiPluginsSubDir: "./plugins",
 wikiThemesSubDir: "./themes",
 wikiLanguagesSubDir: "./languages",
 wikiTiddlersSubDir: "./tiddlers",
 wikiOutputSubDir: "./output",
 jsModuleHeaderRegExpString: "^\\/\\*\\\\(?:\\r?\\n)((?:^[^\\r\\n]*(?:\\r?\\n))+?)(^\\\\\\*\\/$(?:\\r?\\n)?)",
 fileExtensionInfo: Object.create(null), // Map file extension to {type:}
 contentTypeInfo: Object.create(null), // Map type to {encoding:,extension:}
 pluginsEnvVar: "TIDDLYWIKI_PLUGIN_PATH",
 themesEnvVar: "TIDDLYWIKI_THEME_PATH",
 languagesEnvVar: "TIDDLYWIKI_LANGUAGE_PATH",
 editionsEnvVar: "TIDDLYWIKI_EDITION_PATH"
 }

I have a locally generated TW5 server instance.  I was able to copy its "tiddlywiki.info" into my OpenShift staging area within the "boot" subdirectory. (I also copied the entire "tiddlers" subdir there too.)  I added and checked in my changes into Git and pushed them to OpenShift.  After restarting NodeJS on OpenShift, I was able to see my content.

Since the "tiddlywiki mynewwiki --init server" mainly seems to generate a "tiddlywiki.info", I assumed that having this file referenced from the code would fix the "Themes Issue".  No success.

Any ideas?

Thanks ahead of time,

TJ

Hi TJ

Am I correct in understanding that the problem you're experiencing is that you're seeing an unstyled but otherwise functional TiddlyWiki in the browser?

The steps you describe about moving a tiddlywiki.info file into the boot folder of the TW5 repo are not correct. The TW5 repo holds the code; your data would ordinarily be stored in an entirely different folder. 

> Since the "tiddlywiki mynewwiki --init server" mainly seems to generate a "tiddlywiki.info", I assumed that having this file referenced from the code would fix the "Themes Issue".  No success.

The init command does indeed just copy a tiddlywiki.info file into your wiki folder. I don't understand why it's not working for you, though? Why aren't you just creating a blank wiki folder within process.env.OPENSHIFT_DATA_DIR?

Best wishes

Jeremy.

Hi Jeremy,

Thank you for the idea!  I will tinker around a bit and I'll let you know the results.

Hi TJ,

Any luck with this? I have done as Jeremy suggested and set up a separate wiki folder. I provide an absolute path to the folder in server.js and am still not able to get the themes/plugins to work.

I receive an error each time that the tiddlywiki.info file is missing, even though I am pointing it to the correct folder...no idea what is going on.

Hi Sean,

 

I receive an error each time that the tiddlywiki.info file is missing, even though I am pointing it to the correct folder...no idea what is going on.

Perhaps an issue of a missing / superfluous (back-)slash? I assume that folder has a tiddlywiki.info in it.

Best wishes,

Tobias.

Hi Sean,

Unfortunately, no. I ended up getting frustrated that I couldn't get things to work. Ultimately, I have other things competing for my time and had to set it aside. The best I could get was a working but on rendered version. Given more time, this is one of those problems that I would write a script for to validate the install. If I do figure it out, I will be happy to post my progress.

Good luck to you,

TJ

Hi Sean,

have you tried to build one of the standard tw editions by replacing

$tw.boot.argv = [
  process.env.OPENSHIFT_DATA_DIR,

with

$tw.boot.argv = [
  "./editions/empty",

all the best

Hi Tobias,

Thanks for the thought. I double checked and just used the pwd to point to the folder, so presumably no issues there. Even tried a trailing / and /. with no luck.

Cheers,

Sean

[Sean Kelley]

Hi BJ,

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried this and a few variations, still with no luck. 

Cheers,

Sean

Realized that the issue may be with using the 5.1.12 pre-release, so I rolled back my version to TW 5.1.11 and everything now works.
