[<mi...@pc...>]

Hello Dirk,

I need to test the 'thispage' stuff - looks like a bug to me=2E
Sticking to the order of  'section-list' seems like a no-brainer to me=2E
I'll consider adding a 'page-order' variable=2E

On principle I'm *against* adding extra variables - in the name of
simplicity(I already have too many !)=2E *But* - I see your use case and i=
t
is something  I'd wondered if someone would want=2E

I'll be back in action on Monday and will think about it then=2E How would=

you reference pages =3F (by filename is the only reasonable way I guess=2E=
=2E=2E=2E=2E)

Feel free to move this to the rest2web-develop mailing list (link on the
sourceforge page http://sourceforge=2Enet/projects/rest2web ) if you *want=
*=2E

Currently most discussion is about the specification for ConfigObj 4- the
*fantastic* new config system that is nearly finished=2E=2E=2E ;-)

Dear Fuzzyman,

thanks for your quick reply and apologies for my late answer=2E

I see the point of not specifying everything because pages are generated
dynamically=2E I could use templates for pages when I want an ordered
sidebar menue=2E However, I'm a lazy guy and I would like to get away
using as few templates as possible=2E I am thinking about introducing an
additional restindex variable 'page-order', that get's evaluated if
present=2E Similar to 'section-list' 'page-order' has a meaning on index
pages only=2E I will probably take a look into this tomorrow =2E=2E=2E


The 'thispage' question: I tried to say the following:

root=5Fdir/
    index=5Fpage                 <- thispage !=3D None

    subdir/
        index=5Fpage             <- thispage !=3D None
        page=5F1
        page=5F2

   subdir/
        index=5Fpage            <- thispage =3D=3D None

In words: the 'thispage' variable is None for index pages that are leaves
of the indextree=2E As index pages are treated special several times I was=

wondering whether this is a bug or a feature=2E

best regards, dirk
