Michal, shouldn't %%summary%% behave roughly like [[module Pages … preview="true"]] does?

%%summary%% displays so much more (formatted) text that it's very difficult to see when the summary for one page ends, and the next page starts — for an example see http://sandbox.wikidot.com/listpages-summary

It uses the following code to display page summaries. If I'm correct, there's even a Listpages bug, as you can see that the first page listed there doesn't even have a %%linked_title%%.

 [[module ListPages]] %%linked_title%% %%summary%% [[/module]] 

• ListPages -> Select
• category, categories -> from
• tags -> where
• prependLine -> header
• appendLine -> footer

Giving something like this:

 [[module Select from="blog,news" where="public" header="||~ Page||~ Date||"]] || %%linked_title%% || %%date%% || [[/module]] 

The actual implementation seems to behave differently:

If you have 100 pages and use perPage="10" or "20" (and you don't set limit) you get 10 or 20 pages without pagination.

Only if you use perPage="10" and specify limit="100" you get 10 by 10 pages with pagination.

For an example see http://sandbox.wikidot.com/listpages-pagination

It's not a link to a page, but plain text.

It took two include templates and six pages to implement this! A big advantage (and a feature that would help reduce the need for six pages down to one page) would be, if ListPages supported URL's such …wikidot.com/page-name/order/titleAsc (similar to what it supports for pagination) to overrule ListPages' sort order.

Support for …wikidot.com/page-name/category/category-name would be nice, too.

There seems to be a bug in the parser though, if you add style="…" attributes to the cell tag in prependLine — please see http://sandbox.wikidot.com/listpages

Thx

If the default for limit is “none”, then I would expect a default configuration to display all pages, but it actually just displays 20.

Is the documentation wrong? What does “none” mean? Zero? Unlimited?

 [[module ListPages prependLine="||~ Page||~ Date||"]] || %%linked_title%% || %%date%% || [[/module]] 

shows the following error(s):

An error occured when processing your request.

• rssEmbed (embeds link to a corresponding RSS feed in the HTML header so that browsers and other clients can discover it) and
• rssShow (shows an RSS icon below the generated list).

What do you thing would be the most commonly used settings for those two? Setting them manually to false too often could be annoying, but on the other hand it would be nice to promote the use of feeds.

RSS feeds exist independently of the module, the module just points to the proper URL that allows one to access the feed.

the reason the module "does not work recursively" is because it can enter an endless loop, exactly as in one of your early tests when displaying such a page brings "connection dropped" from the server. Thanks for finding this bug anyway! The quickest way to be 100% sure that no ListPages calls was to disable the nested ListPages.

Perhaps a better solution could be found. We were trying some other methods too but this one was the quickest to fix the problem. Any suggestions?

PerPage and limit work in the following way:

Suppose you have 100 pages in your category blog:. You want to show them all, but paginated, 10 per page. You use: perPage="10".
Now, to display just 10 pages, but nothing else, no pagination, you use: limit="10".
A combination of these: you want a visitor to browse only 50 first pages of 100, but still 10 per page: perPage="10", limit="50".

limit="n" limits the total number of results that fulfill the select conditions — if you have many pages, 10000, this can limit your set to e.g. 40. This limitation is applied first.
perPage="n" tells how to display the results — how many per one page. If you limit your result set from 10000 to 40, your can display them all at once (perPage="40") or e.g. by 10 (perPage="10") — it would create 4 pages of results with previous/next buttons.

I hope it helps!

Thanks for your comments!!!
