Hi there,
we have released a new version of the ImportDFwikisPlugin that allows
to import in tiddlers the wikipages stored in a moodle wiki. As yet
said in
http://groups.google.com/group/TiddlyWiki/browse_thread/thread/ea0d34...

So, this version fixes some bugs and lacks of atention that som of you
pointed out. Thanks specially to Eric Shulman.

New features.
* Allows to enter username and password and connect to the moodle
server with permisions. TW connects with moodle sending the password
MD5 encripted. This is the first step to walk the other way and
actually export tiddlers to wiki pages. Estimated in two weeks.

The next version will allow to import the wiki content without
translating the markup, those who use the mediawiki markup plugin can
keep working on the same makup. Since moodle wiki also allows to work
with html content ... the html content will also be migrated to TW to
be used with the HTMLplugin

Thanks for all the feedback!
Ludo

Tiddlywiki integration new version and documentation

by Ludo (Marc Alier) -

Let's see how can we import contents from a Moodle new wiki into a Tiddlywiki based file.

Grab it

First of all you need to download Tiddlywiki file to your computer and open it in your browser. We recommend Firefox 2.0 for this purpose, in fact we recommend it for any purpose wink

Now you should see something like this:

df2tw-1

Use it



Important !!! Note that you can only edit tiddlywiki contents if you access to it from local, meaning through the file:// protocol. So if your URL does not start by file:// and starts like http:// you shall not edit, nor import wiki pages into tiddlers... YOU SHALL NOT PASS (Said Gandalf).

The use of Tiddlywiki

You may take a look at this tutorial.

Importing wikipages from a Moodle server

We will use our DFWikilabs http://morfeo.upc.edu/crom server as testground. To set up you own server you may read later How do I get the ImportDFwikisPlugin server side scripts working? but for now you can try this first.

Import as guest user

The ImportDFwikisPlugin offers you an interactive interface, to import one or several wiki pages as guest user from our server follow the next simple steps:

df2tw-2

  1. Mark Checkbox "Login as guest"
  2. Click on the button Open Wikis. Now the plugin will connect to the server, by default will be our test site http://morfeo.upc.edu/crom but you may change it by editing the SiteUrl tiddler and write your favorite moodle server URL .
  3. A list of the wikis accessible by you will be displayed. Select the one you want.
  4. Press "Open pages" Button.
  5. A list of the available pages will be displayed. Select the one or the set you want.
  6. Press "Import" Button.
df2tw-3

If everything goes OK the Tiddler ImportedTiddlers will appear with the list and local links to the imported tiddlers.

If you avoid step 1 and provide your username and password, then you'll user your Moodle account to access the wikipages, so is probable that you'll have access to more stuff. The password is send using and MD5 algorithm, so don't worry about sniffers and so on.

Much appreciated.
