Hi Argonaut Installation of a plugin: The easiest way to install a plugin as described in TiddlyWiki For the Rest Of Us http://tinyurl.com/ydsgrml
The second easiest way is to copy the text from the Plugintiddler (in edit/showmode) and paste it into a new tiddler in your document. You must tag it systemConfig and give it the correct title... Preventing overwrite of the "parenttiddlywiki": I would simply delete the uploadTiddlerPlugin from the clientcopies... - or believe that it was to difficult for a normal user to enter the information needed to be able to upload and overwrite the "parentTiddlyWiki"... Unless you have used the clientTW from the local/actual userprofile no cookie should remember the needed data for the UploadPlugin - anyway. (I wouldn't worry) LoadTiddlersPlugin Lets you make a button to download updates or new tiddlers from a "serverTiddlyWiki". When the plugin is installed you could make a button like this: <<loadTiddlers "label:Update with new tiddlers" "tag:TWServer" Url (http://) confirm update>> Where label is the text on the button "tag:update" only fetches those tiddlers which are tagged with "TWServer" Url(http://) = the address to the ServerTiddlyWiki - "confirm" ensures that the user must confirm each update - "update" is a tag for each new tiddler which is written into the client TiddlyWiki.
