For the latest updates visit the Official PhpTiddlyWiki Site.
NOTE: If you already have an install of PTW jump down below.
There are just a few steps to setting up PhpTiddlyWiki on your webserver.
1. Make sure that your webserver supports PHP (version 4 or higher should do)
2. Make sure that you have access to a MySQL database
3. Decide where on your webserver you want to put PhpTiddlyWiki, and make that directory on your webserver.
4. Copy the files in this zip volume to that new directory.
5. Set the configuration variable values in tiddly_conf.php.
6. Run the tiddly_install.php script by hitting it with a web browser. If you used the default install directory the URL would be: http://yoursite.com/tiddly/tiddly_install.php . Once you've run script I suggest you delete it from your webserver. Note: you may need to slightly edit the tiddly_install.php script, especially if you're installing into an existing MySQL database.
That's it! You can now start using PhpTiddlyWiki!
It's really simple to update your existing PTW site.
1. Copy these new PHP files into the same directory as your old install:
DO NOT copy these files:
2. If you were running PhpTiddlywiki 0.3 or earlier, then you need to run the tiddly_update.php script by hitting it with a web browser. If you used the default install directory the URL would be: http://yoursite.com/tiddly/tiddly_update.php
That's it! If the update went smoothly you shouldn't see anything except NEW FEATURES! Don't forget to delete tiddly_update.php from your server when you're done with it.
It's pretty dang self-explanatory! Just start creating new content. I suggest you delete this file (tiddly_readme.html), the install file (tiddly_install.php) and the update file (tiddly_update.php) from your webserver once you've gotten things running. Also, don't forget to edit tiddly_conf.php once you've created your initial tiddlers.
There is one hidden feature that is half-completed in this version. And that's versioning!
To view all of the versions of a specific tiddler use the following URL syntax:
http://www.yoursite.com/tiddly/index.php?title=[title]&msg=versions
Then to restore a specific version, click on the VersionNum entry on the right, edit it, rename it to have the name of the tiddler, and then save it. I know this is backwards. Someone write some good client-side code for this and I'll use it for sure! :-)
