Navigator

This page is read only. You can view the source, but not change it. Ask your administrator if you think this is wrong.
====== How the Autolist Works ======

The Navigator Auto‑Index System

Navigator includes an automatic index generator for namespace start pages.

It creates a clean list of all pages in the same namespace and supports multiple sort orders.

====== Activation ======


The autolist activates only when the start page contains the opt‑in marker:

<code>~~AUTOINDEX~~</code>

Navigator hides the marker visually, so the page remains clean while still signaling intent.

====== How it finds pages ======


The script uses DokuWiki’s internal page index to discover pages in the same namespace.

To avoid stale entries, it performs a filesystem sanity check and only lists pages that physically exist on disk.

This ensures deleted pages disappear immediately, even if the index has not been rebuilt.

===== Sorting options =====

Users can sort the list using the following buttons:

  -**Newest** pages first (default) 
  -**Oldest** pages first 
  -**Alphabetical (A-Z)** order (accent‑aware, article‑stripped)

These labels can be changed in the admin Setings panel.

Alphabetical sorting removes leading articles in English and other languages (e.g., The, A, O, Uma). This can be customized in the Admin Settings.

The <wrap red>colors</wrap> of the top bar can also be changed in the admin Template Styles panel.
