PageListWikiTrail

Goal

To enable a WikiTrails markup to use a (:pagelist ... :) directive, either directly inside a WikiTrails markup <<(:pagelist ...:)>>, or when it forms part of the index page referred to in a normal WikiTrails instruction.

Solution

• pagelisttrails.phpΔ -- development version that requires thorough testing.
• pagelisttrails2.phpΔ -- newer version (November 2005) that still requires thorough testing, but at least appears to work on PmWiki2

Discussion

This test version is a modification of PmWiki's trails.php (pmwiki-2.0.devel26)

It should be downloaded to the cookbook folder. The original "trails.php" should be disabled, and this new one included by putting

  $EnableWikiTrails=0;
  include_once("cookbook/pagelisttrails.php");

in the config.php file.

To use the script, add one or more (:pagelist ...:) directives to the index page specified in a normal WikiTrails markup. The script will use all pagelist directives, plus any other bulleted links on the page, to construct the trail.

Alternatively, put a pagelist directive directly in the WikiTrails markup, in the form <<(:pagelist ... :)>>. This method will produce just the 'previous' and 'next' links, and will align them to the left and right.

Alternative way to create trails without an index page:

The DynamicTrails recipe explains how to do create trails with a pagelist template and without installing any cookbook scripts or extra markup.

Bugs

• Something wrong with the sense of left and right here.

• php ending line ?> missing in the php file. ~ V.Krishn
• no longer working under pmwiki2.0 beta34. Han 24 april 2005
• pagelist2.php should work under pmwiki2.0.12
• when I add list=normal to a pagelist, it doesn't work. Why is that ?

Wishlist

It would be nice if the list excluded the groupname AND used the {$title} instead of the {$name} to list the pages. To make things perfect spacedwikiwords in the list would look much better. Han, march 13 05 at 15.20 CET
