Features / Usability

After playing around with this for a while I've concluded there is a bug that prevents {$f_itemId} from being inserted into trackerlist filtervalue parameter. I can successfully insert {$f_xx} where xx is a field Id, and I can even insert page and the like with double curly brackets, but for some reason {$f_itemId} creates an error.

In fact, none of the following tracker "metadata" can be inserted as a parameter into a trackerlist inside of a pretty tracker:
{$f_created}: created date
{$f_status_input}: status input field
{$f_status}: status (output)
{$f_itemId}: the item id
{$f_lastmodif}: last modified date (this will display unix date, for human readable date look below)
{$itemoff}: the iteration number of each item
{$tr_offset}: the offset of the item, i.e. this is the nth item of the total number of x items

Here are some similar past discussions on this same subject (nested pretty trackers):

http://tikiwiki.1073613.n5.nabble.com/Nested-trackerlists-td18465.html

I'd be willing to look at the code, but I have no idea where to even start . . .

Anyway, I would imagine it's a simple fix but it would open up a world of possibilities with nested pretty trackers inside of wiki pages.

Again, any thoughts would be appreciated.
