Thank you Jean-Vincent,
I'll try the code out once I've figured it out.
It would be useful to have someone who 'knows' to document/write
one or more
tutorials on how to extract information from the XWiki database. It
would
help XWiki users/developers to develop XWiki for all sort of
applications:
* Task/process generation and tracking
* Work flow form based applications
* Issue tracking
* Help desk request/issue tracking
* Objective setting and planning
etc
Yes, agreed. We know we need this. What we need is contributors
willing to help at this point.
If users were contributing back what they succeed in doing (after
asking on the list) we would have nice tutorials covering everything :)
Are you interested in contributing what you've succeeded in doing?
Xwiki.org is a wiki so you can easily add stuff on there. I think the
dev guide would be a logical place for putting this. WDYT?
Thanks

Hi,
It's a recurrent need but AFAIK we don't have any generic solution.
I've made a 5' snippet, hope it will be useful.
This snippet requires programming rights ($xwiki.xWiki.search) so
you'll have to make sure that simple users can't edit this page.

#macro(paginedSearch $query $currentPage $resultsPerPage)
#set ($start = $resultsPerPage * $currentPage)
#set ($resultsnb = $xwiki.xWiki.search("select count(doc) from
XWikiDocument doc ${query}", $context.context).get(0))
#if ($resultsnb > $resultsPerPage)
#set ($pagesnb = $resultsnb / $resultsPerPage)
#foreach ($pagenb in [0..$pagesnb])
[$pagenb>$doc.fullName?page=$pagenb]
#end
#end
#set ($list = $xwiki.searchDocuments($query, $resultsPerPage, $start))
#foreach ($item in $list)
* $item
#end
#end
#if ($request.page)
#set ($desiredStart = $xwiki.parseInt($request.page))
#else
#set ($desiredStart = 0)
#end
#paginedSearch("where 1=1" $desiredStart 5)

Anyone?
Hi all,
Does anyone know how to generate a list of links to wiki pages
that meet a
set of defined features i.e. filter and sort (features defined on the
objects or tags on those pages)? Perhaps like the Google search,
list the
first 20 or 30 pages and have a next/previous, 1, 2, 3, etc
buttons to
list
the next selections of page links (to cope with
the display of large
numbers
of page links).
If anyones got any code snipits to get me started then that would be
really
useful - thanks.
The idea is perhaps to explore how to use XWiki to semi automatically
generate pages to record tasks or issues, and then to list those
pages
(tasks/issues) according to say the status or owners of those
tasks/issues.
For tasks I'm thinking XWiki might be used to
help guide users
through
business processes and semi-automatically document they have followed
those
processes (for CMMI) so they can be simply
audited. Documents
generated
through users following the tasks/processes can then be generated
from
templates and stored within the wiki. If anyone else has any ideas/
code
that
