Question

I have a topics page and I wanted to have it display the subtopics linked to the topic.

For example the topic page is titled "TestPage" and the subtopic page is titled "TestPageSubTopic1" etc...

I tried %TOPICLIST{"   * $web.$name"}%

I also tried %WEBLIST{"   * [[$name.WebHome]]"}%

These would display errors / display the page that I was currently on.

Is there some other command I can use to display these topics similar to WebTopicList? I wanted to have the same setup as WebTopicList since it eliminates the work of posting each link one by one & alphabetizing it.

Which uses: %INCLUDE{"%TWIKIWEB%.%TOPIC%"}%

Thank you for your time!

Sincerely, Brian Mahoney

If you answer a question - or someone answered one of your questions - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status selector is below the edit box.

personally, I would (and do) use the TreePlugin, then just set the subtopics as 'children' to the main topic, and in the main topic add this: %TREE{excludetopic="Web*" formatting="outline" format="* [[$topic][$spacetopic]]" levelprefix="   " startlevel="1"}%

Oh, also, that will include the parent (I simply put that in every WebHome page... since WebHome isn't a parent and starts with Web, it's ignored and i get a nice listing. If you want just the children topic, and you want the list IN the parent topic, use %TREE{topic="%TOPIC%" formatting="outline" format="* [[$topic][$spacetopic]]" levelprefix="   " startlevel="1"}% instead

Hahaha no problem

Have you had any success implementing the TreeBrowserPlugin? Since I am going to have a lot of articles I was wondering if I could implement that feature tied in with your line of code you mentioned above.

Thanks again!

Naw, I never bothered trying, but a lot of peopel do, you shouldn't have trouble with it. I would get tree plugin working first, did you get that running?

That worked great, I was unsure of how to insert the command you gave me into the tree browser plugin however. Thanks again for all the help! Manually inserting the links was dreadful! I tried the sample code for the tree browser plugin and that worked, however its options seem slightly different from the basic plugin. I'll try researching that option in the future.

Don't you just put %TREEBROWSERPLUGIN{}% directly infront?
