Hi folks,

I tried the zim wiki and had success with creating a bunch of linked html-files with the attached pdf-files in a subfolder as the result of a export-process. I had a small video file too as a single file.
But I would prefer to use tiddlywiki for tasks like this. 

How can I export a multifile wiki (I use bob single exe) to a multifile website with all the included pdf-files as single files too? 

I need the different single files, not one html-file  at the end. I want to upload this mini-website to a learningplatform. This would make my work at school a lot more easier. I could create a lesson with a lot of material and upload the whole mess at once as a bunch of linked html-files with separate pdf-files. I didn't find a way to to this with tiddlywiki, but what do I know as dumb beginner?

Thanks for any help,

Stefan

To be any real help I need to know a few things,

First, when you say multi-file do you mean one html file and then all of the attachments (pdfs, images, etc.) are separate files? Or do you mean each tiddler is it's own .tid file?

And second, how are these going to be hosted? If it is a situation where you copy the html file into a folder and then it is accessible at some url than it should be relatively simple, if it is some other setup than it depends on the specifics of the setup.

And finally, how are you putting the files in your wiki while using Bob? Are you dragging and dropping them in the wiki or are you using _canonical_uri fields?

I have each tiddler in its own tid. file. I copy the html files in a folder and then it is accessible. I need one index.html file (name can be different) which points to the other files. This works. In the Bob wiki I make dragging and drop them in the wiki. No uri-fields.

Thanks for the quick response.

Ok. It is going to be easier to do this if I just make an action-widget that will move things around for you. This is something I have been planning for a while anyway to make using external files easier and it shouldn't take too terribly long.

Once this is finished what you are going to do is download an html version of your wiki from the bob settings in the control panel (after I make the script to move the pdfs out of it) and upload that to where you host files, then you will make a folder called 'files' next to the html file and put the pdfs you want available in that folder and it should all work, as long as I make this correctly.
