Question

I'd like to use the RenderListPlugin to grapically show the membership of a Group.

What kind of %SEARCH statement will convert the comma delimited list into a bullet list?

Here is an example using FormattedSearch SEARCH and SpreadSheetPlugin CALC: (view raw to see how this works)

Great! Now to dress up MartinCleaver's various UserListBy... topics in a simiar manner....

Actaully what I'd really like to do is make this a nested search. Pull out all the groups from TWikiGroups and show the whole lot ...

However the %CALC makes putting a more normal format statement in rather difficult.

You do seem to be making heavy use of the SpreadSheetPlugin these days, Peter. Is there any other way to extract lists?

-- AntonAylward - 17 Jul 2005

The CALC is necessary to format each item (prefix with "   * Main.")

It might be challenging to recursively resolve nested groups with nested searches. Sounds like a need add a new TWikiVariable to the core that does that (see related MailerContrib)

My point, Peter, is that I can't format it like Martin's vaious UserListBy ...

If I insert

$formfield(Organization)  $formfield(Country) $formfield(State)

Are you referring ro the TWikiUserGroup? How would you like to format them?

-- PeterThoeny - 17 Jul 2005

Its not a specific "how".

Its that while I understand your previous point about prefixng each item with "Main." I don't se any way of doing things that correspond to the normal formatting of search as described in a formatted search, for example as ilustrated in FormattedSearch#Table_showing_form_field_values

In Dakar, there are various formfields that contain data. Martin's vaious UserListBy ... make use of those.

Sadly, the version of the RenderListPlugin I'm running won't render this correctly.

It expects lists to have a tab rather than a three-space lead-in.

Most of Dakar will handle both, but this plugin will only handle tabs.

SIGH I've psoted this as a bug - Item118

and from what i can see Crawford's already fixed it for you. Is there any way Anton, that you could possibly not come across so meanly? it makes helping you so much less fun.

The following is a slightly simpler way:

%RENDERLIST{ "org" }%
   * Main.TWikiAdminGroup
      * %CALC{$LISTJOIN($n      * , $LISTMAP(icon:person %MAINWEB%.$item, %Main.TWikiAdminGroup.GROUP%))}%

TWikiAdminGroup

Main.%Main.TWikiAdminGroup.GROUP%

It requires TopicVarsPlugin, which should be activated before SpreadSheetPlugin

• Set INSTALLEDPLUGINS = ..., TopicVarsPlugin, SpreadSheetPlugin, ...
