hide start pages

[Juergen-aus-Zuendorf]

It would be very good if start pages were excluded from the top10

My first attempt was to get a workaround by adding a request to the add-function in the file syntac.php:

     public function render($mode, Doku_Renderer $renderer, $data) {
     ...
         foreach($list as $item) {
             if (auth_aclcheck($item['page'],'',null) < AUTH_READ) continue;
             /** Modifikation, um die Startseiten auszublenden: **/
             if (strpos($item['page'],'start') !== false) continue;
             if (!page_exists($item['page'])) continue;
     ...
     }

For I´m no php programmer, I don`t know if this syntax is really correct. And further-on it would be much better to set this behaviour by a new parameter in the {{top|...}} command.

Although this issue is two years old, I've been looking at this lately.

The problem with using strpos in that way is that a page :articles:postart or :recipe:mosstartlets would also be excluded. Something like this might be better:

if(preg_match('/:start$/', $item['page'])) continue;

That will only match pages ending in :start

It's still not ideal, though, because:

• the index page name can be customized in DokuWiki config, so somewhere there's a variable which controls what that is, but I haven't yet looked for that
• the wiki root page will still show up, since it will be presented as "start" only, so a second condition or a smarter regexp is needed
• I'm not a PHP expert, nor am I well-versed in DokuWiki plugin structure - I'm just hacking about.
