[pmwiki-users] Obtaining the raw output of (:pagelist:)

[Petko Yotov]

To get an array with the page names, use FPLTemplatePageList().

Note, it doesn't return the pages, it modifies its arguments by 
reference. So you can have something like this:

   # if you call your function before stdconfig.php
   include_once("$FarmD/scripts/pagelist.php");

   # define array and options
   $list = [];
   $opt = [ 'group'=>'Main', 'name'=>'-C*,-W*' ];
   FPLTemplatePageList($pagename, $list, $opt);

   # $list has now pages from the Main group
   # except those starting with "C" or "W".

To search for pages containing or not keywords, use something like:

   $opt = [''=>['find','all','these'], '-'=>['except','those']];


To get a large array with all page metadata (except the page text and 
history), use MakePageList(). This one returns the pages:

   $opt = [ 'group'=>'Main', 'name'=>'-C*,-W*' ];
   $list2 = MakePageList($pagename, $opt);


Note, both functions return all matching pages, before ordering the 
array (order=-time) and before slicing it (count=10..30).

Generally, both should work, but in some cases the results will not be 
the same, because $opt is defined in a complex way ($SearchPatterns, 
$_REQUEST).
