[pmwiki-users] Linking to Categories

[Radu]

Hey Tom.

Try this in local/config:

$SearchPatterns['mine'][] = $SearchPatterns['normal'];
$SearchPatterns['mine'][] = '!\.Template$!';

If you have other special pages you want to exclude from pagelists, do 
stuff like:

$SearchPatterns['mine'][] = '!\.(Template|OtherSpecialPage|YetAnother)$!';

And then when using list=mine in pagelist and searchresult, those pages 
will be excluded.

Note that I haven't tried this myself, it's only an extrapolation, so it 
may not work. If it doesn't, let me know and I'll try to figure it out. 
(I'm not using categories in my wiki cos they're too slow for me)
