I grabbed the DMG archive for Instiki and installed it on my
(Tiger 10.4.2) G5 Power Mac. I like it a lot, but I''ve run
into a couple of odd problems:
* default location for wiki-textile-2005-09-28-06-31-57.zip
I tried the Export link and chose "Markup (Textile)" format.
The file went to my Desktop, which seems like an odd location.
And, when I looked around for a way to make it go to some
other location, I didn''t find any administrative interface.
Also, I got a nastygram during the process, saying:
Archive Utility
Unable to unarchive "wiki-textile-2005-09-28-06-31-57.zip"
into "Desktop". (Error 1 - Operation not permitted.)
My guess is that some utility noticed a new zip archive on
the Desktop and tried to unpack it. This isn''t really what
I wanted to have happen, but why the nastygram?
* Automated backup, log files, etc.
The documentation appears to indicate that Instiki will save
images and log-structured sets of commands somewhere as it
gets used. Where are these stored? Is this configurable?

rich, I don''t know if you''re looking to merge two data sets or port an entire wiki -- for the latter, I''ve successfully moved my wiki from one 10.4.2 mac to another by transferring these two folders and their entire content to a different machine where instiki is installed: /Users/yourname/Library/Syndication /Users/yourname/Library/Application Support/Instiki For what it''s worth, in the second path you''ll find the live .zip file and if you attempt to dearchive it, the same error message appears, although the file works just fine. You''ll find the snapshots you''re looking for here. regards, justin On Sep 28, 2005, at 10:11 PM, Rich Morin wrote:> I grabbed the DMG archive for Instiki and installed it on my > (Tiger 10.4.2) G5 Power Mac.

Safari has responsibility for downloading the exported archive of the
Wiki to your desktop and triggering the automatic extraction. I do not
know why you get a permissions error, but I think that an older version
of Stuffit had this problem - you may want to look at their site or
check the permissions on the downloaded file.

Hi all, I have the latest version of Tiger, Instiki, Stuffit, Safari, etc... The export failure persists. Any suggestion? Greetings!

The export problem on Tiger is a known one as I and others have encountered it. The problem is that Instiki is producing a bad (empty) zip file. I was planning to look into this myself at some point since there doesn''t seem to be any active Devs running OS X and/or using export. The only problem is my day job keeps me really busy so I may not get a chance to delve into the world of Instiki/Ruby anytime soon. :-( I guess the other option is to use Instiki 0.9.2. (I''m not sure I can go back though since I (foolishly) didn''t backup my storage before installing Instiki 10.2) Personally, I would like to see a way to export/import a complete Wiki (with/without page history) since I am just using Instiki to manage personal information and it would be nice to have a way to clean out old revisions periodically.

Cleaning old revisions is a fairly simple database script, something like: DELETE FROM revisions r1 WHERE created_at > ''2005-01-01'' -- be careful not to delete the last revision of the page though AND r1.id <> (SELECT TOP 1 id FROM revisions r2 WHERE r1.page_id = r2.page_id ORDER BY created_date DESC) or, in ActiveRecord parlance: january_first = DateTime.new(2005, 1, 1) Pages.find(:all).each do |page| page.revisions.each { |revision| revision.destroy if (revision.created_at < january_first and revision != page.last_revision } end --- Alexey Verkhovsky

Import is implemented, but disabled, in Instiki 0.10.2. If you''re not afraid of a bit of hacking it''s not hard to enable it and import a previously exported zip file (export as markup, not html). On the other hand, it''s probably much better to wait for the new Instiki-AR :-) Cheers, Assaph
Hi, I wish I could fix it myself, but I''ll keep using 0.9.2 until Instiki- AR. Looking forwards to it! Cheers!

Thanks! -- Brent
OS X users might also be interested in this checking out MoinX (http://moinx.antbear.org/) It is a version of the MoinMoin wiki for OS X and it is very similar to Instiki and it is a single app with easy to access preferences. On the surface it looks like it might fill my needs for a personal wiki better than Instiki but I haven''t really checked it out. Just thought I would mention it for us OS X users who have a few issues with the latest Instiki. Cheers! -- Brent
