I am attempting to utilize the example code from the links I mentioned earlier
but update it to reflect that the parent-child relationship is deprecated under
the new Nested Pages concept. This is the code I have so far:
{{velocity}}
#set($query="where doc.space='$doc.getSpace()'")
#set($results = false)
#set($results = $xwiki.searchDocuments($query, 10, 0))
#set($first = true)
#foreach($docname in $results)
#set($rdoc = $xwiki.getDocument($docname).getTranslatedDocument())
[[$rdoc.getDisplayTitle()>>$rdoc.fullName]]
#end
{{/velocity}}
It works to a point but the results look like this:
Test Child 2 <http://localhost:8081/xwiki/bin/view/Test/Test+Child+2>
Test Child 6 <http://localhost:8081/xwiki/bin/view/Test/Test+Child+6>
Test <http://localhost:8081/xwiki/bin/view/Test/>
Test Child 1 <http://localhost:8081/xwiki/bin/view/Test/Test+Child+1>
Test Child 3 <http://localhost:8081/xwiki/bin/view/Test/Test+Child+3>
Test Child 5 <http://localhost:8081/xwiki/bin/view/Test/Test+Child+5>
Test Child 0 <http://localhost:8081/xwiki/bin/view/Test/Test+Child+0>
Test Child 4 <http://localhost:8081/xwiki/bin/view/Test/Test+Child+4>
The ‘Test’ page listed represents the page containing the code which I would
consider the parent or container page and the nested pages are in no
discernible order. These nested pages were all generated with a script (if
helpful I can provide the code) using an array of names and a foreach loop, so
I would expect that they were created in the order the names were provided in
the array which was ascending order. Also I notice that alphanumeric sort order
seems to be the default in Xwiki so I am a little surprised by these results.
Any helpful advice you can provide to remove the container page and sort the
results would be appreciated.
