SID-00988: Displaying recently changed topic/children/grandchildren?

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:		Perl version:

Is there a way to display a list of all recently changed topics within a tree of topic, its children, and all grandchildren, etc?

Right now I am using:

%SEARCH{"parent.name = 'DesignHub'" web="%WEB%" type="query" order="modified" reverse="on" nosearch="on" noheader="on" limit="50"}%

But I only get immediate children of 'DesignHub'. Want all the descendants.

Thanks for any info.

Discussion and Answer

Here is an untested search to get first level and second level:

"(parent.name = 'DesignHub') OR (parent.name/(parent.name = 'DesignHub'))"

Details in QuerySearch.

Fantastic!! Thanks so much. And by extension you could add a 3rd level by?

"(parent.name = 'DesignHub') OR (parent.name/(parent.name = 'DesignHub')) OR (parent.name/(parent.name/(parent.name = 'DesignHub'))) "

And could you keep doing this? I may have up to 6 levels. Is this a decent approach or is there a wildcard way of achieving the same thing?

Again, thanks so much!

Basically yes on adding levels. There is no wild card. Keep in mind that nested searches will be slow.
