NavigateUsingRecentChanges

This set of ingredients allows an administrator to add navigation links that use the data from RecentChanges pages.

1. derive a list of groups from Main.AllRecentChanges, to use for navigating between groups
2. derive a pick list of groups, to use for restricting a search to a selected group (the current group by default)
3. derive the alphabetic next and previous page in a group using RecentChanges
4. derive the first n entries from a trail page, such as RecentChanges

Attach:listgroups.php

Usage

Requires PmWiki/PmWiki version 0.5.6 or above. Insert

   include_once("local/listgroups.php");

in your local.php file.

For an example of the script in action (the site is in the early stages of development), see the LIANZA IT-SIG wiki. Follow the Research link to see the alphabetic « previous, next » and most recent features.

The navigation omits pages like GroupHeader and RecentChanges -- the administrator can define custom exception pages by setting a script variable. The script contains some sample usage notes that explain how to configure it.

Revisions

18 August 2003: make the script work better with WebMenu -- put the <#>? on a WebMenu page to list all the groups.
