New subject: [xwiki-devs] Ref: Displaying lists of wiki pages given a set of criteria

9 Oct 2007

Jean-Vincent,

Thanks - I tried it and it worked.

What I'd like to do now is to have a set of pages with objects attached and
to search those pages by the attributes on those objects. 

So for example the pages could represent 'tasks', the objects would store
details of those tasks e.g. task status, task owner, task description, task
date, etc. On a browser page a search/filter could then be done on say task
status to list all uncompleted tasks.

Any idea how to do that? 

Also is there any documentation on how to do these searches using:

$xwiki.xWiki.search("select count(doc) from XWikiDocument doc ${query}",
$context.context).get(0))

and

#set ($list = $xwiki.searchDocuments($query, $resultsPerPage, $start))

i.e. what database tables to search - a description of how these methods
work and how to use them, etc

If anyone has some more examples and explaination of these then it would
really help! Thanks!

Regards,

Richard

  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.

 -----------------------------------------------8<---------------------------
----------------------------------------
...
  #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)
