Displaying links to subpages on home page ?

[oliverm]

Hi,

I want to have a page on my wiki for each client with their details on it. Under each client page I want a page for each of the clients projects to date etc.

On their top page I would like links to all the pages underneath, ideally updated automatically.

Is there a dekiwiki specific widget or tag i can insert in the template of my client contact pages that will show links to all the sub pages, without me having to create each entry then create a link to that page on the top page ?

Yes. http://wiki.opengarden.org/Deki_Wiki/DekiScript explains this. Specifically, http://wiki.opengarden.org/Deki_Wiki...Wiki_Functions . There are several options for this. I think you want "{{wiki.tree(page.name)}}"

{{ wiki.tree(page.path) }} will show all pages below the current page.

{{ wiki.tree("User:Bob") }} will show all the pages below Bob's user page

{{ wiki.tree("Customers/Big_Corp/Projects") }} will show all pages under the http://mywiki/Customers/Big_Corp/Projects page.

Hope that helped!

I just doc-ed this some more by providing some examples here: http://wiki.opengarden.org/Deki_Wiki...ction_Examples , enjoy!

Thanks chaps,


I tried inserting the string

{{wiki.toc(page.path)}}

in to my template for the contacts page, but it just shows that string and doesnt display the toc. Same goes for the treeview.

Should I be doing something to the string to have dekiwiki pick it up ?

In a template page, the DekiScript statemetns (i.e. {{ }}) are not executed, but only displayed. In general, they have no real value inside templates, so it's nicer to see what dekiscript is present than the actual outcome.

They arent working if i put them in a normal (non-template) page either, it just shows the {{ }} bit rather than its calculated results.

Do you see the {{ }} in edit mode and after pressing save? Edit mode will always show the {{ }}, but view mode should display the calculated result.

I setup a test page at http://wiki.opengarden.org/User:Brigettek and {{wiki.toc(page.path)}} appears to calculate properly.

Also note that {{ }} evaluation will not occur inside 'Formatted' text (<pre> elements).

Grrr, i just want it to show after i type it. Wherever I type it, on any page, regardless of style (or not), nowt happens
