The extension SmartList allows to insert a list of pages in a wiki page using the tags smartlist, newbies, or toplist. The selection criteria can be set using a dialog box.
Available tags
The extension SmartList includes three different tags:
<bs:smartlist />/<recentchanges />- display a list of pages that were edited in the last 90 days. It can be filtered by namespaces or categories.- Different modes are possible if the
<bs:smartlist />tag is added in source edit mode.
- Different modes are possible if the
<bs:newbies />- display a list of recently registered users.<bs:toplist />- display a list of most visited pages.
The tags can be added as content droplets. v4.3+. Earlier BlueSpice versions contained the menu item Insert > Magic word in VisualEditor. -v4.3
Smartlist
The <bs:smartlist /> tag shows a list of recently changed pages (<90 days) by default.
The list can be inserted in source edit mode or as the content droplet "Recent changes", in which case it is inserted as <recentchanges /> tag in the page source. v4.3+
In source edit mode, the smartlist tag (not the recentchanges tag!) additionally accepts the parameter mode with the following values:
- mode=stablepages
- mode=whatlinkshere
