Including recent changes on the home page

[mcraven]

Yes. In the wiki.getsearch function you can specify a path. For example where the function argument is currently:

wiki.getsearch('type:wiki OR type:document OR type:image', 10, '-date')

change it to:

wiki.getsearch('type:wiki OR type:document OR type:image AND path:MyPath/*', 10, '-date')

substituting what ever path you desire for MyPath.

Already done!

As you can see, the new template accept 2 optional parameters:
path = section to restrict search query (append an * to the end if you want to include all descendent pages)
number = row to return

Invoke it with

{{template("Template:Xsys-modificherecenti"),{path:"Folder1/Folder2/*",number:"25"}) }}

Tanks to all for your feedback, I also added files notification and (probably) removed error when a page is deleted, but it need more test!

Past this code in a template page (html source code)

<h1>Template:Xsys-modificherecenti</h1>
<table block="
    var number = (args.number ?? 20);
    var msg=(#args.path!=0 ? 'Recent changes in '..args.path : 'Recent changes');
    var path=(#args.path!=0 ? 'path:'..args.path..'/*':'');
    var result = wiki.getsearch('type:wiki OR type:document OR type:image', number, '-date',path);" width="100%" border="1" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" class="feedtable">
    <tbody>
        <tr>
            <td valign="top" colspan="4" bgcolor="#cccccc" style="text-align: center; "><strong>{{msg}}</strong></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td bgcolor="#cccccc"><strong>Page</strong></td>
            <td bgcolor="#cccccc"><strong>Date</strong></td>
            <td bgcolor="#cccccc"><strong>Author</strong></td>
            <td bgcolor="#cccccc"><strong>Summary</strong></td>
        </tr>
        <tr foreach="var pa in result" class="{{__count % 2 == 0 ? 'feedroweven' : 'feedrowodd'}}">
            <td if="pa.uri!=nil" style="WORD-BREAK:BREAK-ALL" width="50%">{{pa.id ? web.link(pa.uri, pa.path):web.html("File "..web.link(pa.uri, pa.name).." in "..web.link(pa.page.uri,pa.page.path).."")}}</td>
            <td nowrap="" if="pa.uri!=nil"><small>{{date.format(pa.date,"dd/MM/yy - HH:mm")}}</small></td>
            <td if="pa.uri!=nil"><small>{{web.link("/Special:Contributions?target="..pa.author.name, pa.author.name)}}</small></td>
            <td if="pa.uri!=nil"><small>{{ pa.id? web.link('/index.php?title='..uri.encode(pa.path)..'&amp;action=history',pa.editsummary):''}}</small></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td valign="top" style="word-break: break-all; text-align: center; " colspan="4"><a title="/Special:Recentchanges" class="internal" href="mks://localhost/Special:Recentchanges">Recent changes</a>&nbsp;</td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>

I tried that as you have it except for changing the path to /* but I get this:

/p[2]/span, line 1, column 43: EOF expected

[mcraven]

I believe your template call has an extra ")". Should it not be as follows?

{{template("Template:Xsys-modificherecenti",{path:"Folder1/Folder2/*",number:"25"}) }}

Once removed it works great!

Also, I just commited a fix for bug 5451. The fix allows page feeds to include changes to sub-pages. This fix should address this common use case.

Thanks! This is something that our users will really want to take advantage of. Email notices of changes is another related feature that has been requested.

You were right. Now it works great. The only downside is that it doesn't seem to pick new comments and recent changes.

[gianluca]

Comments are not include in lucen index, so I can't catch them in this script.

I already asked in Lyons request page to add comment to Lucene index, this will allow us to search and extract comments.

[arnec]

In Lyons comments are now separately indexed in lucene. You can go to trunk.mindtouch.com to check out the latest builds and play with it there.

[craigsivils]

Can someone show me how I would write a search that pulls the most recent comments and edits in one search? If I can get that, I'll take my recent changes template and test it out on trunk.
