Question

This search provides a list of the children topics of the current topic in a very nice format:

%SEARCH{"\%META:TOPICPARENT\{name=\"%TOPIC%\"\}\%" type="regex" nosearch="on" header=""}% 

I would like to have all subtopics (children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren...etc.) in the same nice format. I would greatly appreciate any suggestion.

Thanks!

I messed around with a nested search for that (see HowToMakeIndentedIndex) before I realized that TreePlugin does it.

For performance it is recommended that a nested search only goes a few levels deep. But the plugin has no such limitation.

If you are using TreePlugin version 1.6, a code fix required. See my comments (03 Jun 2008) at TreePluginDev.

Sean,

Thanks for your quick reply. I am aware of the TreePlugin, however what I like of this SEARCH variable is the nice format that gives me the name of the topic, the revision, the latest update date and time, the author and even a snippet of the topic. I would like to use it to list all the subtopics in this format. Thanks.

You can try nested searches, see example in the SearchPatternCookbook.
