Hi,

I read using webDAV and TW eons ago at Clint Checkett's site and now
one of my email providers is promoting the idea with detailed
instructions.

The idea is that you can publish your tiddlywiki on the web without
all the fancy schmancy server side stuff. The tw exists on a DAV
mounted drive on your home computer but you can save changes and see
them reflected on the web.
For folks using fastmail as an email provider, we get a smidgin of web
space to save files and can 'host' a tw. I've done this before but
never used the webDAV to save changes (was a bit dim and didn't want
to hunt for that Novell NetDrive). Check with your ISP or separate
email provider, maybe you can do this too!

Publish a home page easily with TiddyWiki

Add another way for easy wiki web publishing in addition to TiddlySpot
Here's to seeing more adoption of TiddlyWiki :-)

Best,
tony

Hi Tony,

You can also use WebDAVSavingPlugin  (http://tiddlylab.bidix.info/#WebDAVSaving)  to save directly on your WebDAV aware HTTP Server without mounting a WebDAV Drive, by accessing directly over HTTP ( require TiddlyWiki 2.2.0 ).

Cheers,

Amazing!
BidiX, your well known UploadPlugin has enabled many to access a
TiddlyWiki from the web.
Thanks for adding another for those of us without a web host.

Best,
tony

I just came across this more or less by accident - I seem to have
totally missed this in the first place!?
Either way, that's GREAT, BidiX! With this I could finally ditch my cURL
batch files, for good!
One more reason to convert my TWs to v2.2! (That's right, I *still*
haven't done that - shame on me... )

Thanks; I haven't gotten to actually trying it yet - but might this
possibly replace the regular UploadPlugin on TiddlySpot?

I have now, and it "just works" - brilliant job, BidiX!

I was a bit baffled at first though, as I expected a "Save to WebDAV"
button (you actually have to open it from the WebDAV location and use
the regular save button - so don't forget "readOnly = false;").

In fact, such an extra button would be nice; work locally, but save
important milestones (as backups?) to the (pre-defined) WebDAV drive...

I should revisit WebDAVSavingPlugin. Actually It's based exactly on the same logic than the local saving. So it needs certainly some fittings before Version 1.0.0.
