Try this test: put (:toc-hide:) into one of the pages (ie not in the GroupHeader) and see if the page toc appears in the side bar. Explanation below.

Could you do an experiment for me? Could you try putting (:toc-hide:) into one of the pages, rather than in the GroupHeader? The source of the problem, I think, is this code in pgetoc: function RemoteTableOfContents($pagename,$ref,$self=0) { global $TocHeaderFmt,$RemoteTocFmt; $oTocHeader = $TocHeaderFmt; $TocHeaderFmt = str_replace('$Toc',$ref,$RemoteTocFmt); $tocname = MakePageName($pagename,$ref); if ($tocname==$pagename && $self==0) return ''; $tocpage=RetrieveAuthPage($tocname,'read',false); $toctext=@$tocpage['text']; if (preg_match('/\(:([#\*])?toc(?:-(float|hide))?(?:\s+anchors=(v)isible)?(?:\s+(.*?))?(?:\s+(Q))?:\)(.*)$/se',$toctext,$m)) $toc = str_replace('[[#',"[[$ref#", TableOfContents($tocname,$m[1],'page','',$m[5],PSS($m[6]))); $TocHeaderFmt = $oTocHeader; return $toc; } This code only returns a "remote" table of contents if the body of the target page contains a (:toc-hide:) or similar directive. If the suggested test generates a working toc in the side bar, we will need to modify the above code to retrieve the GroupHeader text and add it to the start of the retrieved page's text. Fortunately, this will be a trivial change. However, the side-effect will be that (:toc-page PageName:) will then generate a remote page toc for pages with no headings.
