Auto-Save

Created:

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

Once installed, this extension makes server-saving Feather Wikis automatically save to the server whenever pages and settings are saved. Note that this extension will not work if you are not using server saving—you must be using either Tiddlyhost or some other Feather Wiki nest that hosts your wiki on a web server!

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.

After adding the extension code to your wiki, save your changes and reload the wiki. You will not be able to see the results until you save your wiki and re-load the file.

Other Languages #

This extension is available in the following other languages:

You can use the extension in an available language by adding _language-code before .js in any of the instructions above. For example, https://feather.wiki/extensions/v1.8.x/auto-save_hu.js for Hungarian.


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.
