Is there a way to recreate tiddlywiki.info file?

[Rika Sukenik]

I accidentally deleted my tiddlywiki.info file & now I can't start the tiddly sever. I have the following files in my :wiki directory  index.html, static.css, alltiddlers.html. Is it possible to recreate the tiddlywiki.info from the files I have available? I've only made a few tweaks to my Tiddlywiki so it won't be catastrophic if I need to start over. Else I'll count myself as lucky and continue forging ahead building out my digital garden  :)

Hello Rika,

 You can create it manually. You can even copy paste the file from another wiki folder and tweek it.

 If you have created like tiddlywiki mywiki --init server do it again and copy paste the tiddywiki.info into your wiki folder.

 To know what is the content of tiddywiki.info see

Great, thanks. I had to create a new wiki directory and start the node server from there to get the tiddlywiki.info file. However, the changes in my html file are not reflected on the server. This makes sense since the tiddlywiki.info file has plugin & theme info in it. Hmm, is there a way to automatically update the .info file from the html file? 

Best,

If you have your old wiki (the one whose tiddlywiki.info got deleted) in HTML format, like from a backup, then I will solve this problem this way

1. Create a new TiddlyWiki using NodeJS
2. Start the new tiddlywiki in the browser
3. drag and drop old backup html file on to the new tiddlywiki
4. It will ask your permission to import files
5. Permit it

After import is complete, NodeJS will ask you to save the changes. Then the tiddlywiki.info of the new wiki should reflect the settings of your old TW. You can then copy paste the file.

If this does not work, then you can manually edit your new tiddlywiki.info to set your theme and plugins.

Thanks! I was able to get my themes back!
