Subject: Count Number of Pages in an Namespace

Hi!

I would really appreciate if anyone could write a plugin that counts the number of pages in an namespace. It should be possible to add this information to any desired wiki page. (So I guess this would be a syntax plugin). I think this is a useful feature and shouldn't be too much work once you know which dokuwiki functions to call, but I have no PHP experience and can't do it myself.

Thanks for your help!

Hi,

I'm working on something similar.
I found the stats plugin and I found that is not working any more, so I'm trying to rewrite the part needed and adding some functionality.

On my site you can find an on-going version.

Up to now it can show the bests contributors, the total number of pages and (hopefully) the number of pages for a particular namespace...I didn't test this particular case very deeply, but it seems to work... :blush:

Nice Work! I have not thoroughly tested it, but it seems to work nicely. It was just nice if I could achieve one extra thing:
I would like to subtract 1 from every number of pages in a namespace. (That is because there is always one site that only indexes the other ones)

So if namespace toplevel:lowerlevel contains 3 pages, the plugin should print that there are only two. What do I have to change in the syntax.php file to achieve that?

Thanks in advance!

To subtract 1 from the output pagenumbers you could always just add a "-1" to the value the $renderer actually prints, like this:

l.86 $renderer->doc .= $this->countAllPages($stat);

add -1:

l.86 $renderer->doc .= $this->countAllPages($stat) -1;

Easy and it works, but pretty bad programming style.

Another (and better) option would be to alter the if statement in the _pages_xhtml_r function that determines whether to count +1 or not. Lets assume all your index files are called "index.txt", then the statement:

l.147    if (is_file($path."/".$file)) {
      $tmp++;
      }

would look something like that:

if (is_file($path."/".$file) && $file != "index.txt") {
$tmp++;
}

Hope that helps.

Thank you Scarecrow for the tip.

Just as a remark at the moment the plugin don't consider the pages in "wiki", "talk" and "playground" namespaces.

If I'll find some time and I'll understand better how plugins work, I'll add an "namespace exclude list" to the admin page...
