    • Selecting Wiki structure pages to be printed / grouped for PDF (book creation)

    Posted by Bernard Sfez / Tiki Specialist posts: 8654 France

    Hello,

    I have a Tiki 25 (will become Tiki 26 and 27)where I use the Wiki page Structures feature.
    I have there about 500 pages and I would like to create different books using different set of pages.

    Book A => Print pages from structure 1.1 + page 4.1.3 + pages from structure 2 + ...
    Book B => Print pages from structure 4 + Print pages from structure 7.1 + page 3.1.1 + pages from structure 2 + ...
    Etc...

    First, is such possible with the actual ? 🤗
    In case it is not what are the option ?

    I thought I could work it out with plugin list or list execute but I don't find anything about structures at https://doc.tiki.org/Search-and-List-from-Unified-Index


    Another direction would be to use the categories to group book pages.
    Category: bookA, bookB, etc.

    In all case I would need to have a way to set the page order.


    Once I have my collection of page ready (bookA, bookB, etc) how to allow the "save as pdf" or "print bookA" action ?

    Thanks for ideas.

    Yes, i think categories would be the only way to go, but yes, the page order would be hard to keep (nothing in unified search re structures afaics)

    Maybe you can export the page names from the structure, edit that and then use that as a filter for a plugin list thing?

    Or (just maybe) you can set the page permissions to be not readable for the ones you don't want and use structure print?

    Tricky one, will be interested if you work it out!

    I re thought the situation.
    As you mention ideally yes native Tiki Print feature, using Structure Print should be used but I can't find "Structure Print" in the documentation (best recipe I found is https://doc.tiki.org/tiki-index.php?page=Printing%20the%20Documentation)

    I wondered if I could find an easy to duplicate a structure and then edit it to manage order.
    Still to evaluate... how the drag'n'drop structure thing works when you have 500 pages... (user-friendly ?)
