Folks,

I have build a large wiki that operates in a business for production purposes. 

  • This has being built as an iterative process and I have not packaged system tiddlers and others into a specific plugin(s)
  • However I would like to move a large set of tiddlers into "shadow tiddlers" that can be overridden but not deleted, in fact they can be restored to the shadow by deleting them.
  • Clearly the number of plugins would be silly If each had a plugin type of plugin.
Can anyone please help me with this planned workflow?

  1. It makes sense to export them as a json,
  2. reimport them (anywhere)
  3. repackage them as a plugin,
  4. then drop the plugin on the production wiki and save and reload,
  5. but then I have to delete all the tiddlers that are in the plugin (which remain in the wiki) so that the shadows are now active.

Does this sound correct?


I have considered custom button(s) for plugins only, that that allows the ability to 
  • export only a plugins overridden tiddlers (a delta)
  • export a plugins tiddlers including those edited as a new tiddler set (new version)
  • delete all overridden tiddlers a Kind of restore to unedited plugin and useful above.
What do you think would these be useful to you?

Regards
Tony
