(:pagelist fmt=PagelistTemplateSamples#forum order=-time group=Main count=4:)

• Using the pagelist option trail=<Group>.RecentChanges:

• Setting up a group for RecentChanges:

fmt=#teasers

Include the first five lines of every page preceded by an edit link for that page

[[#teasers]]
|| '''[[{=$FullName}]]''' - [[Edit -> {=$FullName}?action=edit]]||

(:include {=$FullName} lines=4:)

(:if ! equal {>$Group}:)
-----
(:if:) 
[[#teasersend]]

(:pagelist fmt=PagelistTemplateSamples#teasers group=Main count=4:)

fmt=#headerinclude

Include the first paragraph. This allows a more flexible way to get teasers.

[[#headerinclude]]
%rfloat%[-more-] [[{=$FullName}|{=$Titlespaced}]]
(:include {=$FullName} para=1:)
(:if equal {>$Group}:)
(:title {$Title}:)(:if:)
----
[[#headerincludeend]]

(:pagelist fmt=PagelistTemplateSamples#headerinclude group=Main list=normal count=5:)

fmt=#articleteaser

A modification of the 'teasers' template showing how css elements can be used.

[[#articleteasers]]
[+{=$Title}+]
%define=leftborder border-left="2px solid #88f" margin-left="2px" padding="0 0 0 10px"%
>>leftborder<<(:include {=$FullName} lines=5:)

%right% [-[[{=$FullName}|Read More]]-]
(:if ! equal {>$Group}:)
>><<

(:if:) 
[[#articleteasersend]]

(:pagelist fmt=PagelistTemplateSamples#articleteasers group=Main count=3:)

fmt=#includeTitle

Include whole pages, with titles as links to the pages, separated by a horizontal rule underneath each page's content. An edit link is shown if the user is authorized as editor. The title header for each page also contains an anchor which is the same as the full page name, used for #includeToc below.

[[#includeTitle]]
(:if auth edit:)
%rfloat%[[{=$FullName}?action=edit|[-edit-]]](:if:)
!![[#{=$FullName}]][[{=$FullName}|{=$Title}]]
(:include {=$FullName}:)
----
(:if equal {>$Group}:)
(:title {$Title}:)(:if:)
[[#includeTitleend]]

For example, to include the Foo pages in a group:

(:pagelist group={$Group} name=Foo* order=title fmt=PagelistTemplateSamples#includeTitle:)

fmt=#includeToc

Build a table of contents for the included pages included by #includeTitle above.

[[#includeToc]]
* [[#{=$FullName}|{=$Title}]]
[[#includeTocend]]

So, to include all the Foo pages in a group, starting with a table of contents:

(:pagelist group={$Group} name=Foo* order=title fmt=PagelistTemplateSamples#includeToc:)

----
(:pagelist group={$Group} name=Foo* order=title fmt=PagelistTemplateSamples#includeTitle:)

fmt=#groupsWithListLinks

A bullet list of groups, with a link for listing the pages in that group.

[[#groupsWithListLinks]]
(:if ! equal {=$Group} {<$Group}:)
* [[{=$Group}]] \
  ([[list pages -> {$Name}?action=search&q=group%3D{=$Group}]])
(:ifend:)
[[#groupsWithListLinksend]]

(:pagelist group=P* fmt={$Name}#groupsWithListLinks count=4:)

fmt=#bygrouptitle

A list with group-names and titles (especially for a customized searchlist)

[[#bygrouptitle]]
(:if ! equal {=$Group} {<$Group}:)

:[[{=$Group}/]] /:
(:if:)
: :[[{=$Group}/[[{=$Name} | + ]]
[[#bygrouptitleend]]

(:pagelist name=E* fmt=PagelistTemplateSamples#bygrouptitle count=8:)

fmt=#includeXref

This is a generalization of the #includefaq format. Include a section from a page which has an anchor with the same name as the current page your pagelist is on.

[[#includeXref]]
(:include {=$FullName}#{$Name}:)
[[#includeXrefend]]

So, for example, if I have an anchor here:

[[#PagelistTemplateSamples]]
''Lorum ipsium...''

I do not speak Latin, dear.
[[#PagelistTemplateSamplesend]]

Then I could include only that section by doing this:

(:pagelist Group={$Group} Name={$Name} fmt=PagelistTemplateSamples#includeXref [[#{$Name}]]:)

fmt=#excerpts

To include an extract of the page text around the search term, as Google does. This makes use of Cookbook:Excerpts and Cookbook:HttpVariables without using Cookbook:SortByScore. You can make this format default for searches (and not pagelists, where it does nothing) by setting (:searchbox fmt=#excerpts:) on Site.Search. An older version of this template relied on Cookbook:SearchQueryVariable, which is now considered insecure.

[[#excerpts]]
(:if ! equal {=$Group} {<$Group}:)

:'''[[{=$Group}/]]''' /:
(:if:)
: :[[{=$Group}/{=$Name}]]   {=$:Title} {=$:Summary} {=$Description}
-->%bgcolor=#DBDBDB border="1px dotted grey"%[-(:excerpts {=$Group}.{=$Name} {$?q}:)-]%%
[[#excerptsend]]

fmt=#categorized

In order to list all pages belonging to a particular category

(:if false:)
[[#categorized]]
(:template defaults order=title:)
(:template first:)
!!! {{$$link}$Titlespaced}
(:template each:)
* [[{=$FullName}|{=$Titlespaced}]] [-({=$LastModified} - {=$LastModifiedSummary})-]
[[#categorizedend]]
(:ifend:)

(:pagelist group=PmWiki fmt=#categorized list=normal count=6 link=Category.WikiFarms:)

(:pagelist group=Cookbook fmt=#categorized list=normal name=-Cookbook.{*$Name} link=Category.PageList:)

fmt=#colorbydate

A simple bullet list of page names. Colored red if within last 7 days, blue if within last 30 days, green if older.

[[#colorbydate]]
* (:if date {$TodayMinus7}..{$TodayYMD}
{=$LastModifiedYMD}:)%red%(:elseif date {$TodayMinus30}..{$TodayYMD}
{=$LastModifiedYMD}:)%blue%(:else:)%green%(:ifend:) [[{=$FullName}]] modified: {=$LastModifiedYMD}%%
[[#colorbydateend]]

colorbydate requires the following lines in config.php:

$FmtPV['$TodayMinus7'] = '"' . strftime("%Y-%m-%d", $Now-(7*24*60*60)) . '"';
$FmtPV['$TodayMinus30'] = '"' . strftime("%Y-%m-%d", $Now-(30*24*60*60)) . '"';
$FmtPV['$TodayYMD'] = '"' . strftime("%Y-%m-%d", $Now) . '"';
$FmtPV['$LastModifiedYMD'] = 'strftime("%Y-%m-%d", $page["time"])';

The output would look something like this (assuming it was run on 2008-07-13):

fmt=#sidebarexpandthisgroup

An attempt to display all groups with the current group expand to show all pages. The current group and page should be highlighted. Improvements to this template would be much appreciated. Rik Blok? November 07, 2009, at 01:52 PM

(:if1 false:)
[[#sidebarexpandthisgroup]]
(:template first {=$Group}:)
(:if2 group {=$Group} :)
* %sidehead% [[{=$Group}/]]
(:else2:)
* [[{=$Group}/]]
(:if2end:)
(:template each:)
(:if2 equal {*$Group} {=$Group}:)
(:if3 name {=$FullName} :)
** (:comment Empty item so sidehead isn't applied to full list if this is first item :)
** %sidehead% [[{=$FullName}|{=$Titlespaced}]]
(:else3:)
** [[{=$FullName}|{=$Titlespaced}]]
(:if3end:)
(:if2end:)
[[#sidebarexpandthisgroup]]
(:if1end:)

(:pagelist fmt=PagelistTemplateSamples#sidebarexpandthisgroup count=4:)

Notes

NOTE regarding (:pagelist fmt=#group count=4:)

The fmt=group or fmt=#group looks at all of the pages in all groups, the count is not counting the groups but the pages looked at. But only the groups get displayed, not the list of pages, even the procedure looks at all groups. This is the reason it takes a lot longer on this site. -- So don't use count= with fmt=groups, and don't use it as an example, since there are so many pages on the site here.

• This recipe requires at least PmWiki version: 2.1.beta15

fmt=#editlist

Ever get tired of a list of pages you KNOW you're just going to have to click and reload to edit anyway? Good for admin pages, behind the scenes, etc. XES September 06, 2017, at 09:56 AM

[[#editlist]]
(:template defaults order=title:)
* %newwin%[[{=$FullName}|{=$Titlespaced}]] | [[{=$FullName}?action=edit|edit]] - %gray%{(ftime "%m/%d/%Y" {=$CTime})}%%
[[#editlistend]]

(:pagelist group=PmWiki name=-Draft fmt=PagelistTemplateSamples#editlist count=4:)

[[#editlist2]]
(:template defaults order=title:)
* %newwin%[[{=$FullName}|{=$Titlespaced}]](:if auth edit:) | [[{=$FullName}?action=edit|edit]] - %gray%{(ftime "%m/%d/%Y" {=$CTime})}%%(:if:)
[[#editlistend2]]

fmt=#bygrouptitle

No need to have ugly group->pages lists. That's what titles are for. For wikis that actually use the Title attribute, have blogs, etc. XES September 06, 2017, at 09:56 AM

[[#bygrouptitle]]
(:template first {=$Group}:)

!!![[{=$Group}/|+]]
(:template each:)
*[[{=$Group}/{=$Name}|+]]
[[#bygrouptitleend]]

(:pagelist link=Category.Category group=-Cookbook fmt=#bygrouptitle count=6 list=normal:)
