Hi. Let me try to explain the title question:
As one of the many teachers of Foreign Languages who earn a living teaching hours at different universities, the pandemic has forced me to start teaching a lot of online classes, which means having to revamp all my teaching materials and procedures. As I champion open source software and I love the ideas behind TiddlyWiki, I am trying to use TW as much as possible for all my teaching purposes, which means I am creating a growing number of TW files. There is a set of customisations I want to apply to all new wikis (including plugins, interface tweaks and a number of text/table tiddlers which I want to have in every wiki.). And naturally, this set of customisations evolves with time as I discover new useful plugins, think of new interface tweaks and edit soe text/table tiddlers. I found it impractical to customize every new wiki individually, so what I do is: I keep actualizing ONE customized "empty" TW file, and each time I need to make a new wiki, I will use a copy of that file. Now my question is: For wikis already being in use, which begin to feel "old": What would be an efficient way to "update" them once in a while, to have them reflect the present state of customizations as in the "empty" wiki file that I always keep actualizing? Such task will include, at least: - updating some text/table tiddlers - modifying some interface tweaks, - adding some new plugins, - updating some of the old plugins. I am still not knowledgeable enough as to think of a sound "update" procedure. Sofar all I have been able to come up with is this: - I could take a copy from my customized, actualized "empty" file - then I could export "All tiddlers" (right side panel, tab "More", sub-tab "All") from the "old" wiki to this new file. - In Control Panel, change the title and subtitle of the new wiki file. But I fear these steps may not be enough, because...: 1) Some plugins might have modified some shadow or system tiddlers on the old wiki file. How can I have the new file reflect these changes? 2) Some plugins might have stored data in places I cannot even imagine... (For example, I have no clue where does TiddlyMap store the data which effects the spatial arrangement of nodes in map "views"). What kind of strategy can I implement to cover those cases? 3) I might have to take care of other issues I am not even aware of yet. Any advise will be appreciated. Jero PS btw. I am still using single-html-file wikis only. But as I soon will need to have wikis online for my students to, I probably must find time very soon to learn how to set up TW with Node.js (still NO clue). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
