Jed,
Thanks for the response, I will process this and Hopefully return some
documentation for windows in the end.
- I understood the "otherwiki" was illustrative, The problem has always
being confident of how to specify wikis to be opened, clearly I will stop
trying single file wikis. and Arlen has pointed out why even some editions
created, using bob, fail.
- I also have a problem getting a path to a folder based wiki outside
the bob or below bob folders, and trying to resolve this with no confidence
in the path statement, has being difficult.
- To Test Bob I have being trying to access my existing suite of
Tiddly-wikis.
- I have at one point tried the path "../../instances/wikiname" to
get above the installed folder and back down another branch (I have to
reevaluate this on the basis of no single file wikis)
*Why are you trying to open a wiki from Bob in tiddlyserver?*
Because I could not open some Bob Created folder wikis any other way, it
was purely diagnostic. It showed be that the Bob Created Folder Wikis that
failed were not valid NodeJS Folder wikis in either tool. Since it failed
in both platforms. I thought the TiddlyServer diagnostics may provide some
useful information.
Items to make more Prominent in the Documentation
- Bob only serves TiddlyWiki folders (although it will facilitate the
conversion to and from folder wikis and file-based wikis) it will not serve
File based wikis
- Bob can create TiddlyWiki folders from editions but sometimes further
configuration of that edition may be needed
- Paths to wikis only support Folder Based TiddlyWikis
I value the functionality of Bob that exists no where else, however from a
practical day to day use It would be nice if we could get Bob and
TiddlyWiki server functionality somewhat integrated. I understand the
different functions and limitations however these are not relevant to
organising a suite of TiddlyWikis. It looks as if for me to take advantage
of Bob I am going to have to migrate my key File Wikis into folder based
wikis and chose when I maintain any wiki as a file only version. Of course
running TiddlyServer in parallel on another port, with links to Wikis in my
Bob Wikis linked from my own tiddlers, not under bobs "wiki listing" will
work.
Don't get me wrong, it may be impossible to provide multi-access to a
single File Wiki, but it would not hurt if we could serve single file wikis
from Bob as does TiddlyServer, or link, or integrate the two.
Thanks
Tony
