single file wiki with nodes or BOB, is it possible?

[HC Haase]

Hi

I am setting up a shared wiki at my work and jeds BOB plugin handles the multi user problem a bit better. However I like the simplicity of the one file wiki

Is it possible to access a single file wiki with nodes bob or any other method than the the normal browser (or txt editor if you want to be a pedant).

HC,

As I understand it you can import and save as single file wikis from bob but as sson as its single file you loose multiuser edit functonalty.

Tiddlyserver and tiddlydesktop (untested by me) can serve both file and folder based wikis over http but multiuser edits are an issue.

There are plenty of ideas for new solutions but your usage depends on the practices you develop to use tiddlywiki.

Noteself offers another solution.

Thank you for your reply

So it seems  there is no multiuser solution that works with single file tw :..(

I always the loved the simplicity of the single file wiki but I guess I have to kill my darling and jump the nodes wagon then.

I am hoping to set up Bob so that it can more seemlessly use single file wikis but I am not sure how long it will take. The goal is to let you put the singe file wikis in a folder (or just give their paths) and then Bob would create a node wiki from it, then the single file wiki would be updated with any changed made to the node version every so often.

So it would not just be the single file.

I am looking at how to make wikis sync and then it may be possible to have a single file wiki with a plugin that connects to a server like Bob and can get some multi-user functionality, but it wouldn't really just be a single file setup. Noteself already has a very similar system so if that doesn't work for you than I don't think there is anything.

HC,

If you can detail how you want to share and use tiddlywiki we may have more answers for you.

Sure. I am making a wiki for the it department (that I am a part of) with documetation of stuff. I was thinking to just share the file on a network drive, but then you have trouble more than one wants to edit. So looked at the bob plugin to solve that.

I guess dont have a need to use the single file version other than I really like it. it just make it so fast and simple to cypy/share/sync. However for a shared wiki  I guess the single file is nice to have not need to have.

This sound really nice

For this current task I think Noteself and setting up a server with pouch is to much hassle compared to just using a network drive.

@ Jed Carty:

I am trying out the bob single executable but ran into a problem.

when creating (and then serving) another wiki the " disabling the edit button" when another user is editing a tiddler is not there. It works in mother wiki, but not in sub-wikis. am I doing something wrong is it how things work?

thanks

Right. I think its unfortunate that Noteself is currently cumbersome to setup. In many ways it would be spot-on for your need?
