Hi Jon I've managed to set up tw's on a shared networkdrive - AND getting my collegues to use Firefox - without having to install Firefox. I'll try to adress some of your questions/problems: 1) Downloading a TW 2) "Tinkering" with the header 3) Using FF (for everybody - also those not having FF installed) on a shared networkdrive
1) When you download a tw, you don't do it from files - save page.. - you'll have to download without opening it. You can do this from tiddlywiki.com - using the big blue "download" button. 2) You don't change the tws html-code directly as a text-file - but work on it in the browser - using the tiddler: SiteTitle to change the title. SiteSubtitle - to change the subtitle and so forth. If you need to put some information into the header. You'll use the MarkupPrehead, MarkupPreBody, MarkupPostHead or MarkupPostBody- tiddlers. Again working in the browser - not on the textfile. 3) If you download Firefox-portable (from http://portableapps.com/) you can install it on the networkdrive (without any administrator priviliges!! - its' just put in a folder). Then you can open it and set your tiddlywiki as the startpage. You then put a shortcut to firefox and give it a name wich associates to the tw it will open. It is a little slower - to use FF from the networkdrive - but it's worth the trouble!! Hope that you succeed in using tw from a networkdrive!! Btw: If you plan to let several people write in the same tw - I will reccomend importing the tiddlylock plugin - to prevent overwriting entries caused by working at the same time.
