Password projection on Node.js installation

[Austin Storm]

Am I correct in thinking that you can't password protect saving, because password protection is all-or-nothing? When you set a password it protects seeing the site, not whether or not you can edit it?

There are two sides to not saving a TiddlyWiki hosted on some server...

1. so long as you don't have the right password, you can't save it to the server
• you can always perfectly use tiddlywiki.com to test and try a lot of things
2. if you don't want visitors to be able to click the edit button, you need to remove it
• i.e. develop / use some readonly theme, e.g. punch or talky-talky

Best wishes, Tobias.

That's how the built-in encryption works: you need the password to unlock the content and access it. If you use TiddlySpot then there is a separate password that controls whether or not you can save changes back to the server. That's the easiest way to make a wiki that you can modify but that other visitors can only read. Use the encryption if you want to protect the wiki from unauthorised readers.

Is there any way to run one's own TiddlySpot?

I'm trying to replace my Wordpress with Tiddlywiki.

Yes, there are instructions at <a href='http://tobibeer.github.io/tb5/#Your%20own%20TiddlySpot-like%20upload%20server'>Your own TiddlySpot-like upload server@tb5</a>.

The version of store.php listed there didn't work for me, I had to use <a href='https://code.google.com/p/bidix/source/browse/trunk/TiddlyWiki/contributors/BidiX/serversides/UploadService/store.php?r=140'>this one</a>. I have no idea why.

Oh, wow... I just compared the two and noticed that the one I was pointing to by default did NOT have any authentication enabled, so anyone could essentially upload stuff if only knowing the path to your store.php. I never thought that there could have been a version published with no authentication defaults enabled. I guess I was wrong. How that would have failed for you, though, I wouldn't know.

So, I just updated that link in tb5 to point to the same link as you provided above.

Best wishes, Tobias.
