Is there a magic word like {{NUMBEROFARTICLES}} for all pages?
There seem to be a discrepancy between articles and pages (Articles < Pages) and I would like to display the total number of pages.
Yes, there is:
{{NUMBEROFPAGES}}

I've started keeping a blog on my site, without the assistance of WordPress, Blogger, or any other external services.
If I want to keep no more than say .. five posts on a page .. what's the simplest way to go about indexing them? I mean, after fifteen posts, I'd have three pages, and if I wanted to put a link on each page that linked to next oldest collection of posts, I would need to constantly be updating the links as page 2 turns into page 3, then turns into page 4, etc., etc., etc.
For instance, this popular blog brainpickings has pages nicely indexed:
https://www.brainpickings.org/page/2/ , https://www.brainpickings.org/page/3/
.. and so on for 1,465 pages.
How might I painlessly index my own pages in the same manner?
I have been searching for a few days and it is hard to find specifics for wikimedia.
Does anyone know of an extension, or report that will show internal links to nonexistent pages?
We host a wiki where we have users that have crated some excellent content, but to have to go through each page to find the links to pages that have not been created yet is next to impossible due to the amount of content.
Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated...
Go to your Special:SpecialPages list and you will find
Wanted categories
Wanted files
Wanted pages
Wanted templates
which are (more or less) dynamic lists of all redlinks in your wiki.
If you want to only see a list of dead links for a specific page or a group of pages, you can use DynamicPageList to run a linksfrom query with openreferences = yes. Go here for more info: http://semeb.com/dpldemo/index.php?title=DPL:Manual_-_DPL_parameters:_Criteria_for_page_selection#linksfrom
This is a rephrasing of my original question https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14516983/google-sites-trying-to-script-announcements-page-on-steroids:
I've been looking into ways to make subpages of a parent page appear in a grid like "articles" on the home page of my Google Site — like on a Joomla home page and almost like a standard "Announcements" template, except:
The articles should appear in a configurable order, not chronologically (or alphabetically).
The first two articles should be displayed full-width and the ones beneath in two columns.
All articles will contain one or more images, and at least the first one should be displayed.
The timestamp and author of each subpage/article shouldn't be displayed.
At the moment I don't care if everything except the ordering is hardcoded, but ideally there should be a place to input prefs like the number of articles displayed, image size, snippet length, css styling etc.
My progress so far:
I tried using an iframe with an outside-hosted Javascript (using google.feeds.Feed) that pulls the RSS feed from the "Announcements" template, but I can't configure the order of the articles. One possibility would be to have a number at the beginning of every subpage title and parse it, but it's going to mess up with time and the number would also be visible on the standalone article page. Or could the number be hidden with Javascript?
I tried making a spreadsheet with a row for each article with columns "OrderId", "Title", "Content", "Image" and process and format the data with a Google App Script (using createHTML and createImage), but a) there doesn't seem to be a way to get a spreadsheet image to show up inside the webapp and b) these articles are not "real" pages that can be linked to easily on the menus.
This feature would be super-useful for lots of sites, and to me it just seems odd that it isn't a standard gadget (edit: or template). Ideas, anyone?
I don't know if this is helpful, but I wanted something similar and used the RSS XML announcements feed within a Google Gadget embedded into my sites page
Example gadget / site:
http://hosting.gmodules.com/ig/gadgets/file/105840169337292240573/CBC_news_v3_1.xml
http://www.cambridgebridgeclub.org
It is badly written, messy and I'm sure someone could do better than me, but it seems to work fairly reliably. The xml seems to have all the necessary data to be able to chop up articles, and I seem to remember it has image urls as well, so can play with them (although not implemented in my gadget).
Apologies if I am missing the point. I agree with your feature request - it would be great not to have to get so low-level to implement stuff like this in sites....
one of my clients (www.expertmanage.com) requires random ordering of frontpage articles. We are using Joomla 1.5. I have gone through primary order and category order options, but there is no way to show up articles in random order. Can this be achieved somehow by editing the query on front page blog layout controller ?
If you goto Joomla's extension website, you can find some that can help you. Try auto-frontpage for instance (here) or you can search the list of frontpage extentions. I'm sure you would find a solution to your problem (frontpage extensions)
i'm new in web development, i have a problem to handle the long table. I have a page where have large number of rows it will not look so good to display them on one 1 page. i want to distribute these rows on multiple pages, like if i have 24 rows i want to display only 3 rows on a page so with this complete table will shown on 8 pages.
so is there have any way to do this & how?
Thanks in advance
You need a pagination technique. There a different techniques for different languages.
You might use a server (e.g. with php) or client side pagination technique (e.g. with jQuery). See this jQuery example http://web.enavu.com/demos/paginate/
