Auto-Save

If you use Tiddlyhost or a Feather Wiki nest, you'll never have to worry about saving your data again.

Installation #

To use the auto-save extension, you can do one of the following things:

  • Go to your Wiki Settings and add
    <script src="https://feather.wiki/extensions/v1.8.x/auto-save.js"></script>
    to the "Custom Head" text area.
  • Save the auto-save extension file to the same folder as your Feather Wiki file and add
    <script src="./auto-save.js"></script>
    to the "Custom Head" text area in Wiki Settings.
    • (This way requires that the auto-save.js file always remains in the same folder as your wiki file.)
  • Go to the source code for the extension, copy the code, and paste the whole script directly into the "Custom JS" text area in Wiki Settings.

What it Does #

Once you add your extension code, you will not be able to see the results until you save your wiki and re-load the file. When it's saved and reloaded, this extension makes the Warbler build automatically save to the server whenever pages and settings are saved. Note that this extension will not work with the Wren build—you must be using either Tiddlyhost or some other Feather Wiki nest that hosts your wiki on a web server!


Previous Versions #

Starting with Version 1.8.0, extensions are now stored in paths that include the minor version number (i.e. extensions for version 1.8.0 are stored in extensions/v1.8.x/) to indicate that they are incompatible with lower version numbers. The version of this extension compatible with versions of Feather Wiki below 1.8.0 can still be found at https://feather.wiki/extensions/auto-save.js, but the old version will no longer receive updates.
