Short description

The LikePages action/macro will output a list of pagenames similar to given pagename. Sometimes, the list is very long when the page's name styles like journal, diary, etc., especially with macro MonthCalendar. (MonthCalendar create pagename include a base pagename and subpage named by date)

It will be more clean and clear if only some items (5 or 10) are listed, and remaining long items are hidden initially, just provide a More...(hide/show) link.

Patch

I have written a patch to LikePages.py, see the effect

The patch is applied to 1.5.3.

LikePages.py.patch

to make the hide/show link looks better, you can add following codes to screen.css {{{/* hide show */ #hs_btn {

• font-size: 0.8em; padding-left: 4em; margin-top: -1em;

} }}}
