My way to understand what the hell couchdb is and how it works was a very frustrating journey: everyone at everyplace talked about very advanced topics. Even the official site jumped from very basic explanation to in-deep topics. After feeling like it was too much for me I left the topic apart. Then my brain started his own adventure of gathering knowledge without my consent, and someday I felt like I should check the project again, and then I understood it. So, my advise is: don't worry if you don't understand something at a first try, that is the normal thing! just read it, and leave it in your mind like a wild animal, and someday you will be capable of hunt it. And, for this particular "thing" you have someone who wants to help you with it. My plans are to create a special edition of tiddly-wiki with detailed instructions about how to do this. I would love to count with your creativity and your point of view for the project, which are points that I feel very valuable. I want to be clear that my goal is to create some kind of blogging tool based on tiddlywiki, and not a new way to share tiddlywikis. But once it is setup, it should not be hard to maintain or update, specially when you understand the "flow" > So, do I understand there are three main components to this: > > - the TW (hosted anywhere) > > The tiddlywiki html file hosted anywhere with the couch adaptor plugin installed. > > - the database - as hosted by Cloudant.

CouchDB is a database, like Mongo or SQL can be (but very different). Cloudant is a service that allows you to have a database, they have databases as a service. PouchDB is a JS library that is aimed in having a couch-like database directly inside your browser, so it's not what we need for this purpose. It can also sync to a couch database, but we don't want this neither for this project. So what we need is just a single online database, and Cloudant gives you this for free. > > - an adaptor - that translates a TW file into the database file > format... or is it perhaps that it translates tiddlers so they can be > stored in the database... meaning then that we're really talking TW on > node.js? - And it is the adaptor thing that you're working on, yes? > > The adaptor is the responsible of talking with the database. It can load tiddlers and save tiddlers from the database. The adaptor is the core of the plugin, and it works in any tiddlywiki. TW_File --- save tiddler ---> adaptor ---> couchDB TW_File <---loadTiddler----- adaptor <---- couchDB Again, sorry for my basic questions, but what does "repo" (-sitory) mean in > this context? > Ask as many questions as you want. On this context the repo means where the code of the plugin is published. The needed tools and the instructions for installing it are there. I hope this is more clear by now. If not, don't hesitate to ask! You are able to understand whatever you want. Regards -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
