Actually, lately I've been getting the "Error getting list of tiddlers..." message too! I haven't quite looked into it, but simply imported manually instead. Hearing that you're getting this too, I intend to look into it some time soon (but I'm just a user, no programmer).
As for your *sidebar*; there is no such "import tiddler" option there. When you import something manually, you simply choose "new tiddler" and proceed as I described above. (The "import" command is - which I must assume you've realized - found in the 'Backstage' area, i.e by clicking 'Backstage' in the extreme right upper corner.) /Mat On Jan 8, 7:08 am, Richard <loncm...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thanks Mat > > When I do the import through backstage, I get error "Error getting > list of tiddlers, click Cancel to try again". > Also I don't have the "import tiddler" as an option on my sidebar.. > > Richard > > On Jan 7, 9:05 am, Amzg <matiasg...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > You can either do it via the specialimportfeature; > > click backstage >import> paste the url and click add (or whatever it > > say) and then in the list presented (which is a listing of all > > availabletiddlersat the url tiddlywiki) you just check the correct > > one, scroll down to teh bottom and clickImport(or whatever it says). > > Hopefully after a few moments, the whole "Importfeature" lists your > > importedtiddlersand a button saying "Done", that you click. > > If you imported plugins (i.etiddlerscontaining the systemConfig tag) > > you must then save and *reload* the tiddlywiki to activate the plugin. > > > Manually, you create a new tiddler in your TW.
