Question

I have an application that searches for all descendants of a specific topic . (childs, grandchilds, grandgrandchilds, ....)
The result should be displayed as tree
(TreePlugin can do that)
but

• the resulting tree should only display topics with field "TopicClassification" = Phase
  i.e. filter out all other Topic-Types
• every line in the result-tree should display $topic + the content of the form-field "TopicSummary"

all this would be easy if TreePlugin would support the format-Features of SEARCH

• the filtering could be done with a nested SEARCH or IF-logic
• the display of field-content could be done with $formfield()

as TreePlugin does not support these features yet :
Is there a solution for my problem or do I have to create a FeatureRequest for TreePlugin ?

If you answer a question - or have a question you asked answered by someone - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status is in a drop-down list below the edit box.

You can post a feature request in the TreePluginDev topic. Or, you might be able to do what you need with a SEARCH and some JavaScript as done by PankajPant in DynamicReparenting.
