Your addition of disable and clear, along with the filter resolves this in
effect, thanks.
One could say that "local storage can emulate session storage" by simple
saving only selected tiddlers relating to the user interface such as the
user ID, settings and state tiddlers.
*Here is how I understand it and may provide documentation: First draft*
Does this work flow sound correct?
- Build your desired wiki offline where you can save all changes,
customise and add plugins
- Install the Local storage plugin but disable browser storage on the
plugins settings page
- You may want to hide the Save wiki button/indicator as this may
confuse casual visitors
- You should perhaps turn off autosave Control Panel > Saving "Do not
save changes automatically" so that read only/local storage only users, do
not get save errors.
- If you are hosting the wiki on a read only or read/write host
- Activate the plugin and save the whole wiki via the default save
mechanism
- Upload to your hosting location (Note: a change in URL or file name
will not have access to a prior use of local storage)
- The Visitors/Wiki will have access to the Local storage when they
visit your "site" and can save changes to local storage
- If you are hosting the wiki on a site where you have read write access
- Follow the above instructions to install with or without activating
the plugin "use browser local storage"
- Then as the wiki owner to make Permanent changes online
1. Visit the site, clear Local storage and disable "use browser
local storage" (if necessary)
- Steps 1 and two are interchangable
2. Make your various "permanent" changes
3. You may want to include a message to subsequent online users
that a change in the permanent wiki has occurred.
- In case they have modified existing tiddlers that have being
saved in local storage.
4. Enable "use browser local storage".
5. Save the wiki using the save mechanism (Tick in a circle)
- Use whatever method is necessary to save over the existing
file
6. Reload the wiki
7. All uses of this Wiki will have access to the Local storage
when they visit your "site" and can save changes to local storage
*Users saving the wiki "offline"*
- It is possible to build custom save buttons that will allow online
users using local storage to export/save empty, full wikis (including local
storage) and the permanent wiki (excluding local storage).
- Similarly it is possible to export only tiddlers in local storage or
that have changed since the last save or reload.
Regards
Tony
Thanks
