Can't create a external wiki using Tiddly Desktop #2

Open dhjackal opened 1 week ago

dhjackal commented 1 week ago

Indexing of wikis can only to done if the html file is opened in a browser. User can not index wiki using Index and Export tiddler using Tiddly desktop e.g no wiki url to populate required mandatory field. Not sure if this can be changed / fixed or if the documentation needs to reflect this.

Do you mean, you can use SearchWiki under Node.JS without indexing the external one? I do not think so.

I think the documentation doesn't really cover creating a index very well. It says to copy and paste the url from your browser but you haven't open the wiki file in a browser.

Can the code be changed to automatically populate the url with the details from {{$:/info/url/full}} or another global field (I'm not sure if it is stored anywhere else if at all)??

Or the documentation changed to make it generic

I would also take the "Update index" section out of the "Create Index" tiddler and put it in a tiddler on it's own.....the reason.....it's a seperate process that could be undertaken seperately at a later point in time. It just makes everything (IMO) more consice and readable. Also easier to refer back to. I am happy to make the changes and send them to you if want? Then you can compare and implement if you agree. Anyway let me know.

I will investigate! Good suggestion!
