Forum OpenACS Development: Best way to get Xowiki weblog to list only instances of a particular xowiki::FormPage

1: Best way to get Xowiki weblog to list only instances of a particular xowiki::FormPage

Posted by Richard Hamilton on 11/22/13 06:05 PM

I would like to be able to display all instances of one particular xowiki::FormPage on a single page. What is the most elegant and efficient way to do this please?

For example, suppose I have more than one xowiki::Form object defined, (let's say one for cars, and one for drivers). I have entered some cars and entered some drivers.

I now want to set up a page that will display just the cars. I am studying the weblog-portlet code with a view to modifying it for the purpose.

(I don't want to use categories to achieve this because the form itself defines its notional type. Also, I have looked at the documentation surrounding xowiki::Page 'type', but this seems to pre-date the development of xowiki::Form and xowiki::FormPage, so I'm geuessing is a deprecated option.)

Regards
Richard

Edit the xowiki::Object called en:weblog-portlet and add the name of the xowiki::Form you want the entries of to the parameter list of the initialize method:

#
# A sample Weblog object.
#
my initialize -parameter {
{-page_size:integer 10}
{-page_number:integer 1}
{-summary:boolean 0}
{-category_id ""}
{-date ""}
{-tag ""}
{-ptag ""}
{-entries_of "en:your_formpage"}
