ListPages module -- good news from Wikidot developers!

[Piotr Gabryjeluk]

Hello all!

Wikidot's got a new great feature! It's a ListPages module, that let's
you list all pages:

* from given category
* having (not having) given tag

It displays pages as links or using custom format (like FrontForum).
It also provides RSS (!) feeds from generated lists.

This and the previous (Live Templates) features are making Wikidot
prepare for being a massive blogging platform.

Please test this and tell us what do you think about it.

Cheers

I think, the %%link%% custom format variable does not work. It does
not resolve, but displays as "%%link%%"

[Piotr Gabryjeluk]

This is fixed now, thanks for this info.

OK, thanks.

When testing ListPages I created page http://steinboeck.wikidot.com/test:separator-listpages
(1) which seems to break Wikidot.

Nothing from this page is served (side bar, top, bottom, body), so I
couldn't even delete it.

Could you please have a look?

Thx

(1) Here's test:separator-listpages' content:

[[module ListPages category="test" order="LastEditedDesc"
separate="false" rssEmbed="false" rssShow="false"]]
%%linked_title%%
++++ Description
%%description%%
++++ Content
%%content%%

++++ Content{1}
%%content{1}%%
[[/module]]

Thank you for pointing that, we'll take a closer look at it. It looks,
like the module require more work, than we predicted :)

Can someone please explain how pagination works?
Like Pages module, this chops the list too.

Michal, explained the proper use of "perPage" and "limit" in hist post
from 27 May:

OK, here's the quote:
>---
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".
>---

I have 50 entires in a category, I specify perPage="30", and get no
prev/next buttons. The list is chopped after displaying 30 entries.

You'll need to set limit="50" (or higher) to get pagination.

You are correct -- this is not clear when reading the doc or Michal's
post.

I've posted a Bug report on http://dev.wikidot.org/proposals:listpages-module/comments/show#post-174441
