Hi Ian Have a look at BidiX's TiddlyHome http://tiddlyhome.bidix.info/ I have worked with it - and there are some great possibilities. It consists of two TWs - a portal, where you can register as an user and make a new TW from predefined templates. The second TW is the adminTW where You can administer all users and TWs from one place. Theres no direct connection between the two, but I've made an iframe in the portalTW to the php showing links to all TWs made in the TiddlyHome - directory - in my own version, and I think some similar tweaks could make your vison for a common portal to TW-workspaces come true. Here's the idea as I see it. You install TiddlyHome to your network and make any modifications to the index-TW that you like your users to see when they enter the portal. If you want a list showing all workspaces(TWs) for yourself to look at from the frontpage - you can do what I did (copy the iframe from the adminTW and put it in the portalTW)(I think it needs admin password to enter as it is now - alternatively you could just copy/paste the linklist from the admintw to a shared tiddler in the portalTW)
It's possible for users to specify their TWs to be private - in which case you have to write a password to enter the TW. I've had trouble with the htaccess file on the subdomain I tried to run it from initially - and had to abandon the idea of using it from a server without rootpriviliges - but had success in running it with apache and php (http://www.chsoftware.net/en/useware/mowes/)from an usb-stick in windows. All password and privacy-stuff seems to work very well. I like the option to make the Portal/interface look exactly as you wish - and you can make all your avaiable TWtemplates exactly as you please - as long as you include the Homemacro and homePlugin. It's very versatile. You can read about my experiments from an usbstick here: TiddlyWeb from an usb stick? http://groups.google.com/group/TiddlyWiki/browse_thread/thread/7d884cd36a099c10/e1e5bbf8380abe38?lnk=gst&q=from+an+usb#e1e5bbf8380abe38 - Maybe it's too dangerous to use a system based on php-files from a server - but I like the idea of every workspace beeing a personal TW, with no connection to the mainTW - unless you implement it as f.x. included tiddlers (= readonly) with includePlugin... Please tell what you end up doing - I am very interested in being able to do something similar - but I need rootaccess to a local server on my job to really try things out - and there are a few things that has to be changed first. Untill then I'm testing things from an usb... (As a matter of fact I made a portalTW to the usbserver, from where i have access to all the services running from the usb. Moodle, Claroline, MediaWiki, Elgg, TiddlyHome + all the TW's I make in my TiddlyHomeadaption - I'm even considering some uses for a temporarily usbbased classroom TWservice - for my students to use - just for as long as I'm serving TiddlyHome from my usb to the network... ) YS Måns Mårtensson On Jun 12, 3:17 am, EN <[email protected]> wrote: > Thank you for your reply :) > > With ccTiddly, I have had a hard time getting any of the user/ > permissions functionality to work how it is supposed to.
