How can I configure my site to always exclude wiki-related pages from searches?

Add list=normal to the searchbox or searchresults directives

Try the following in your local/config.php file. See also Cookbook:SearchPatterns.

## Exclude Certain pages / groups from search results.
$SearchPatterns['default'][] = '!\\.(All)?Recent(Changes|Uploads|Comments)$!';
$SearchPatterns['default'][] = '!\\.Group(Print)?(Header|Footer|Attributes)$!';
$SearchPatterns['default'][] = '!\\.(Left|Right|Side)(Bar|Menu|Note)$!';
$SearchPatterns['default'][] = '!^Site\\.!';
$SearchPatterns['default'][] = '!^PmWiki\\.!';

If you add $SearchPatterns['default']... to exclude groups and pages from pagelist and search output, you can include the omitted pages by using "list=all" in the pagelist or search parameters.

How do I turn on wiki word spacing in page lists?

Try the following in your Site.LocalTemplates

 ----
!!!fmt=#simplelist

Simple list of page names, without the Group name. 

[@
[[#simplelist]]
[[{=$FullName}|{=$Titlespaced}]], 
[[#simplelistend]]
@]

How to list only pages that have their title (*not* name) starting with A, B, C,...

(:pagelist $Title=A*,B*,C* :)

How do I search for pages changed by an particular author?

It would be useful to provide Author= (similar to name= or group=).

Try using the Cookbook:AuthorContribution recipe.

This recipe provides a way to automatically keep a list of the pages each author has edited by producing an "Author Contributions" page with a name of Profiles.<author's name>-Contrib for each author that has a page in the Profiles group.

Contributions by authors without profile pages are placed in a single Profiles.Other-Contrib page.

You may try pagelist using $LastModifiedBy variable, as in : (:pagelist / list=normal group=-PmWiki $LastModifiedBy=-X:) or (:pagelist / list=normal group=-PmWiki $LastModifiedBy=X:) to print the list of pages last edited by all but X or edited by x (Petko's pagelist).

How to exclude deleted pages from (:pagelist trail=Site.AllRecentChanges fmt=#title count=15 order=-time :)

Use (:pagelist trail=Site.AllRecentChanges if="exists {=$FullName}" ...:)

order=ctime displays the pages in the order they were created. Is there a way to reverse this (so that the newest page appears first)?

Yes. Use order=-ctime (note the "minus").

How to we access the ctime variable, eg to display it?

Create a page variable in config.php : $FmtPV['$PageCreationDate'] = 'strftime("%Y-%m-%d", $page["ctime"])'; and you can display it in a page with {$PageCreationDate} in format yyyy-mm-dd

A pagelist excludes the current page from the generated list if "list=normal", how can the current page be included while retaining all the other benefits of using "list=normal"?

Set in config.php this: $SearchPatterns['normal']['self'] = ""; If you want to be able to use both behaviors, set this in config.php:

  $SearchPatterns['normalself'] = array(
  'recent' => '!\.(All)?Recent(Changes|Uploads)$!',
  'group' => '!\.Group(Print)?(Header|Footer|Attributes)$!');

Then use list=normalself on pages that should include themselves in the results.

Is it possible to return a list of all pages that are not protected by the site password?

Perhaps Cookbook:PagelistAuthListShort might help.

I want to list all the pages in a wikigroup dynamically, how do I do that?

You can use: (:pagelist group={*$Group} :) to list pages in the current Group. See PageVariables (note the "*" in {*$Group}).

How do I search for pages changed after a particular date?

Using pagelist with the link-parameter causes on Strato an "Internal Server Error:"

I had a similar error on Free.fr due to a local misconfiguration of PHP4. Switching the website to PHP5 solved the issue. As Strato supports different versions of PHP4 and 5, you should try all and tell us if/when it works. (Read the FAQs: you need to rename your index.php to index.php5, or add in your /.htaccess the code: "AddType application/x-httpd-php5 .php"). --Petko February 16, 2008, at 08:35 PM

How do I capture the output from "fmt=count" into a page text variable?

Is it possible to find backlinks to all pages in a group, or multiple pages?

eg
(:pagelist group=Cookbook link=Category/:)
or
(:pagelist group=Cookbook link=Category/One,Category.Two:)
or
(:pagelist group=Category link=Cookbook.*:)

No, see and vote for 00908 Enhance the link parameter of page list (multiple and exclusions)

Can I pass a named parameter to a pagelist, eg a number to set a thumbnail size?

For example (:pagelist fmt=#randomimage px=80:) so that the parameter value can be referenced withing the page list template? Yes, in the same way as documented here IncludeOtherPages#includevariable

How can I include backlinks to pages which only link to current page via pagelist? i.e page "A" has a pagelist which generates a list of links to "B","C","D" ... a backlinks pagelist on page "B" does not list page "A" because there is no REAL link from "A" to "B".

YOu might like to support and vote for 01203 Backlinks to incorporate pagelists, redirect, and include or 01204 pagelist frontlinks

Is it possible to get a list of pages that are not backlinked, eg (:pagelist link=-Category.EnterpriseArchitecture ... :)

No, negation on the link= parameter is not currently supported.

Is there a variable containing the search term that can be used in pagelists, etc?

Add the following line to your local/config.php file:

 $FmtPV['$SearchQuery'] = 'stripmagic(@$_REQUEST["q"])'; 

Now, you can use the {$SearchQuery} variable wherever you wish...

How can I list also Pages that are read protectet?

Add to config.php $EnablePageListProtect = 0;
