Hi,

I'm trying to setup TiddlyServer as I found the following features very useful:
  1. multiple hosts can connect to a wiki (including mobile I assume)
  2. scaling by separating tiddlers into files

Though I've run into 2 issues (please excuse me if there are clear answers. I've searched around):


  1. I can't save tiddlers to their defined folder. When I hit save the current browser downloads a copy of the modified wiki. I understand that this is the standard tiddlywiki behavior but I expected TiddlyServer to save changes where the server is running and not locally on the host connecting. Am I missing something?
  2. Is there an explicit way to use logical operators in queries? or should I consider e.g., [tag[url]tag[article]] as logical AND and [tag[url]][tag[kb]] as logical OR?

Thanks,

Jonathan

TiddlyServer uses TiddlyWiki to load data folders, so both of these are related to TiddlyWiki in general, not just TiddlyServer.

The first question takes a little digging.  When you load a wiki for the first time after the server is started it will go through a special startup process for the wiki. Please start the server, load a wiki, then copy the console output and post it here.

The second question is a TiddlyWiki question that I'm not familiar with, so it may be better to ask it on a separate thread.

Hope that helps.
Arlen

Yes, I think "[tag[url]] [tag[kb]]" would work something like a logical OR.

With a subtle difference

All tagged with either or both creating a unique list of titles.

You mean that the operation resembles an "inclusive OR"?

Best,
Jonathan

I guess so -- the standard "or" (||).

To get the exclusive kind, I believe you can use:

[tag[url]] [tag[kb]] -[tag[url]tag[kb]]

This filter does indeed give an exclusive OR.
I didn't expect the filter syntax to be this powerful in a wiki.

Thank you for clarifying this.
