Re: [Phpwiki-talk] how to use categories? (with small attachment)

[Marcel v. d. B. <ma...@hs...>]

We use categories with the Category:Categoryname syntax  and the 
FullTextSearch plugin to generate pages with the pages which belong to a 
certain category.  For us we made a little change to the FullTextSearch 
plugin (which is attached)

So what we do is:

1.  At the bottom of a page we include the text Category:CategoryName 
which is linked as per the configuration in the interwiki.map file (we 
let it link to a page called "CategoryCategoryName")
2. On the page "CategoryCategoryName"  we include the following:

--snip--
This page contains a list of documents in the Category:CategoryName 
category:

<?plugin FullTextSearch s="Category:CategoryName" noheader=1 onlytitle=1 
?>  

or

<?plugin FullTextSearch s="Category:Development -Category:Category" 
noheader=1 onlytitle=1 ?>

The latter will not show the main Category page which lists all categories.

The "onlytitle" parameter is the one we added to the plugin: if set to 1 
the plugin only returns the names of the pages and not the text found in 
the page itself.  I've attached the modified plugin. As this was a very 
simple and quick hack to the module I don't know if this is of general 
interest to include in the distribution, but here it 's attached.

We also have a Category:Empty page which lists all the non-categorized 
pages. In this case the plugin like looks like:

<?plugin FullTextSearch s="-Category:" noheader=1 onlytitle=1 ?>

Notice the minus sign? This will give a list of pages NOT containing the 
string "Category:"
