TiddlyWiki Community Wiki

To enable editing of the Tiddlywikis in...

[edit] Internet Explorer

Windows XP Service Pack 2 unblocking

• In IE, choose Tools > Internet Options
• Go to the Security tab and select "Local Intranet" Zone
• Click Default Level (to clear the Custom Level settings)
• Set the Security level to Low
• Close all open browsers
• You can now edit the wiki

Also Try:

If TiddlyWiki has been downloaded using Internet Explorer on Windows XP with Service Pack 2 and stored on an NTFS-formatted drive, any attempts to save changes will usually fail with the following error message:

It's not possible to save changes. Possible reasons include:

- your browser doesn't support saving (Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari and Opera all work if properly configured)

- the pathname to your TiddlyWiki file contains illegal characters

- the TiddlyWiki HTML file has been moved or renamed

The solution is to right-click on the TiddlyWiki HTML file and choose Properties. If the file is blocked, there will be an Unblock button on the resulting property sheet, which will remove the protection and allow the file to be saved.

[edit] Safari / Opera

The updated TiddlySaver Java applet permits TiddlyWiki to save changes from Safari & Opera, eliminating the Java Policy step

URL: http://www.tiddlywiki.com/#TiddlySaver
Filename: TiddlySaver.jar
File Type: Java applet
Location: Saved in the same directory as the TiddlyWiki file
Note: TiddlySaver.jar is signed by UnaMesa Association, their certificate is signed by Thawte Code Signing CA intermediate certificate & is chained to the Thawte Premium Server CA root certificate. The first time this applet runs, allow the browser to trust the certificate chain to be able to use the applet, even if the certificate is indicated as valid

Note that there is no longer any need for a .java.policy file

Ensure that if a backup directory is specified in AdvancedOptions, which does not exist, TiddlySaver will not run; due to a software bug

[edit] Opera on Ubuntu

If your version of Ubuntu doesn't currently have Java installed, when you try to save changes you will receive a message that reads like the following:

<localhost>

It's not possible to save changes. Possible reasons include:
- your browser doesn't support saving (Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari and Opera all work if properly configured)
- the pathname to your TiddlyWiki file contains illegal characters
- the TiddlyWiki HTML file has been moved or renamed

To fix this:

1. Download java.
2. Then update Opera to use the new Java libraries. Source Instructions
   1. First find the java library using "locate libjava.so".
   2. In Opera, enable Java, set the "Java Options" folder to the java library folder.
3. Finally, reboot Opera.

When you next try to save changes, you will be greeted by a permissions dialog to allow saving. You should now be able to save your changes!
