Search for a topics children including the childrens children
Hi,
I've been searching and searching to find the right way to do my search, but can't find anything that does what I want. What I want to do is this:
Lets say I have a topic called
MicrosoftOutlook. On that topicpage I have 1 tabpane with 5 tabs; Main, Configuration, Routines, Instructions and Other.
Each tab uses INCLUDE to show the tabs content. The tab Configuration uses INCLUDE to show the topicpage
OutlookConfiguration wich also contain a tabpane with 3-4 tabs. ie Databases,
ServiceAccounts and so on.
What I want to do for a search is to show (on the topicpage
MicrosoftOutlook) all the childtopics, including the childtopics childtopics. A kind of hierarchy map that looks like this:
MicrosoftOutlook
I dont have access to install new plugins so I have to do it with the standard macros. I do have
FoEachplugin though.
Is there a way of doing this using a search, format search, startsection or something?
I went through all the examples in the search cook book and all other topics that has examples on Search, format, formatlist and so on but still nothing that does what I want...
Regards

Perhaps
HierarchicalNavigation is sufficient for your needs? It would be possible to add one more level of nested search.

We use foswiki also as documentation platform. Maybe the
TreePlugin will help you.

The problem is that I cant install these plugins. Im just a user, not admin for the plattform

This can be done using nested search. Each level of nesting needs to escape the escapes. It is
extremely slow and server intensive especially if there are a large number of hits at the highest level.
See
System.FormattedSearch#Method_1_40nesting_with_escapes_41
Or as
ArthurClemens mentioned, you might be able to use
HierarchicalNavigation as a starting point to add another level of nested searches.
