Difficulty installing Stroll on Node

[Philip White]

Hi, I'm trying to install an empty version of Stroll on Node. I've managed to get TW 5.1.23 running fine on Node. And I've got the empty html version of Stroll working fine in Safari, Chrome and Firefox. All on my Mac Mojave. I've also dragged the $:/giffmex/stroll tag pill into my Node version of TW 5.1.23, where it appears as the "Untitled" tiddler containing a load of lines like $:/language/Buttons/NewHere/Hint $:/language/Buttons/NewJournalHere/Hint $:/config/NewJournal/Title $:/core/ui/ControlPanel/StoryView. I've restarted Node and TW many times since the Untitled tiddler was imported.

Options seem to be 1) getting the Stroll html version to work on Node, but I don't know how to get the Stroll code from the html file so that TW executes it; or 2) somehow get the Untitled tiddler stuff to execute (just once, or at every startup?) in my Node version of TW. 

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Philip.

When you drag the pill from Stroll into your TW, there should be a $:/import dialog box. Did you click "import" ? I ask because that step isn't specifically mentioned.

Mark, I'm pretty sure that I did. However, I tried again and the import dialog box did pop up and I clicked import. This time it created "Untitled 1", which looks exactly the same as before. Just to be clear, I'm dragging the pill from the "Add Stroll to your TW" tab in https://giffmex.org/stroll/stroll.html.

I think I've resolved this. I was browsing through Soren Bjornstad's excellent "A tour through my Zettelkasten" and the associated conversation, and saw his response to a question about converting his html version to node. Which was to run:

tiddlywiki --load path/to/single/file.html --savewikifolder path/to/output/folder

I did this for the stroll.html file, and it worked apart from the startup message:

Warning: Plugins required for client-server operation ("tiddlywiki/filesystem" and "tiddlywiki/tiddlyweb") are missing from tiddlywiki.info file

I looked back to when I first got my empty TW to run on node. I found that I'd run this command:

tiddlywiki path/to/output/folder --init server

That created a tiddlywiki.info file with the missing plugins. So I copied that file into my Stroll directory, and it now starts up without warnings. So far, Stroll seems to be working on node, including saving changes to the tiddlers directory in real time. Only time will tell if I've done this correctly, as I'm a relative newbie to TW!
