Plugin Table of Contents
Use this wiki plugin in a page belonging to a structure to display a table of contents listing that page's sub-pages (see also Structures). Nothing will be displayed if the page doesn't have sub-pages.
- Used in the structure's 'root' page, a full table of contents for the entire structure will be created.
- Used in a sub-page, a chapter table of contents will be created (showing only the sub-pages to that page).
Parameters

Same Page in Multiple Structures
Navigating to a page that is included in multiple structures can cause a PluginToc used on that page to behave unexpectedly. In these cases the structId
parameter should be used to set behavior.
For example, assume we have one structure called "Full" and one called "Shell" and we have a page called "Examples" that is included in both. In the Full structure, the Examples page has three pages under it called "Example 1", "Example 2" and "Example 3", whereas in the Shell structure there are no pages under the Examples page.
If you want the three example pages to show in PluginToc every time the Examples page is brought up, then the structId
parameter should be set to be the page_ref_id
of the Examples page in the Full structure. To determine what this page_ref_id
is, do the following:
- Go to
tiki-admin_structures.php
- Click on the name of the structure ("Full" in this example)
- On the page that comes up, mouse over the page name where PluginToc is being used ("Examples" in this example)
- Note the
page_ref_id
that is part of the URL when you mouse over the page name - Set the
structId
parameter in PluginToc to equal thepage_ref_id
noted
Now PluginToc on the Examples page will show the three pages underneath it in the Full structure.
Using the pagename
parameter
Passing the pagename
is useful in (at least) two situations:
- When you want to have a master table of contents page of a structure as the last page in the structure.
- When you want to include a page (using PluginInclude) with PluginTOC used in another page.
If you include the page with the TOC plugin without passing the name of the page to PluginTOC, the table of contents for the page where PluginTOC is included will be shown, instead of showing the TOC for the included page.
This is useful for overview/portal pages.
Examples
All levels
This code:
{toc structId="4020" shownum="1"}
Would produce on this site:
- 1
- 1.1
- 1.2
- 1.2.1
- 1.2.2
- 1.2.3
- 1.2.4
- 1.2.5
- 1.2.6
- 1.2.7
- 1.2.8
- 1.2.9
- 1.2.10
- 1.2.11
- 1.2.12
- 1.2.13
- 1.2.14
- 1.3
- 1.3.1
- 1.4
- 1.5
- 1.6
- 1.7
pagename
parameter in the above example is the root page of a structure. First level only with numerotation
This code:
{toc structId="4020" sortalpha="alpha" mindepth="1"}
Would produce on this site:
From second level and sorted as in the structure
This code:
{toc structId="4020" sortalpha="struct" mindepth="1"}
Would produce on this site:
Only second level and sorted from A to Z
This code:
{toc pagename="Author Resources" sortalpha="alpha" mindepth="1" maxdepth="1"}
Would produce on this site:
Show description and no numbers
This code:
{toc showdesc="1" pagename="Author Resources"}
Would produce on the main page of a structure (using the All the Documentation page in this example):
- Overview :
- What is status for each page in documentation :
-
- A documentation status Tag :
- A documentation status Tag :
- A documentation status Tag :

Note that in this example, the description is shown first and the title field shown second. If a page has no description field (like in many pages of the structure in this example), only this title will be shown.
