Asmor Wed, 27 May 2009 05:04:45 +0000 http://www.encounteraday.com/?p=503#comment-1353 Regarding saving, everything I said above (including saving) is exactly how I did it as I went through the tutorial, so I can guarantee it's safe to do it this way in Firefox 3. I'm guessing the problem some may have had saving Tiddlywikis is "HTML only" vs. "Webpage, Complete." The former option saves the file exactly as the browser received it; the latter rewrites everything so that it should "look" the same, but will cause problems with any dynamic content of the type endemic in Tiddlywikis. Regarding the color schemes, I didn't know if that might be too advanced for this tutorial... *shrug* Regarding saving, everything I said above (including saving) is exactly how I did it as I went through the tutorial, so I can guarantee it’s safe to do it this way in Firefox 3.

But you’re probably best having a separate tiddlywiki altogether.

Liack Thu, 21 May 2009 19:51:42 +0000 http://www.encounteraday.com/?p=503#comment-1323 Very nifty...I might start using it myself...but I was wondering...Beside the password for updates, is there a way to put some passwords to make some part unviewable? Or would you recommend using more than one (for example, infos not viewable by players, only by DM/co-DM)? And, finally, you mistyped some locations and races links in your campaign ;) The Miss link is really neat! :) Very nifty…I might start using it myself…but I was wondering…Beside the password for updates, is there a way to put some passwords to make some part unviewable?

Asmor Thu, 21 May 2009 06:55:16 +0000 http://www.encounteraday.com/?p=503#comment-1321 Huh. That's interesting. I don't really see the sense in running a server as an addon when it's so easy to run a fully-fledged server on your own machine. Actually, for a few years before I finally decided to start ponying up for hosting I used to do just that... If you're interested in running a server, check out <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XAMPP" rel="nofollow">XAMPP</a>, which is a really nice package incorporating Apache, MySQL and PHP all together.

If you want a compromise between the three options, the Firefox extension POW (Plain Old Webserver) should be able to run it locally.
