I'm just trying to use the Wikilist part of the WikiForms recipe to
present records in tabular form, with those nifty headings that you can
click and re-click to sort-ascending and re-sort-descending.<br>
<br>
Can anyone suggest a hack to the recipe that will suppress display of the first column?<br>
<br>

Hi, John:<br>
<br>
Like several others, I also would like to be able to use the matrix
provided by (:wikilist:) as a contacts table. I'll have just a
few selected fields visible in the (:wikilist:), and let users click
through to other pages for more information about the individual
contacts. <br>
<br>
The individual pages for the contacts would <span style="font-style: italic;">not</span>
be the numbered pages that feed the (:wikilist:), because I want the
page names to be the names of the individuals, and I want to be able to
format the contact pages and add pictures, etc. This means that
each entry in the (:wikilist:) will correspond to two individual pages:
one that feeds the wikilist, and one that the user will visit for more
information. <br>
<br>
For the time being, I'm ok manually generating the contents of each
pair of pages to get the layout and formatting I need on the contacts
page, and to create field contents on the wikiform pages that feed the
wikilist as needed to create and display records in the wikilist like
this:<br>
<br>
Wikilist:<br>Header row: | First Name | Initial | Last
Name
| etc | etc |<br>
Record row: |
First |
M | [[Group.FirstMLast |
Last]] | etc | etc |<br>
<br>
So I'd like to NOT show the first, "page name" column in the wikilist.
Even if the wikiform pages that feed the wikilist are still numbered,
I'd not be wanting to link to them, so I'd like to not show the column
with the links. Instead, users would click on the entry in the
Last Name field.<br>
<br>
That's my immediate, short-term request: <span style="font-weight: bold;"> Can I suppress the display of the first column?</span><br>
<br>
Longer term, it would be great if that [[Group.FirstMLast | Last]] <br>
1) could be automatically generated from user input: concatenate the
input from the first three user fields (in camel case, and ignoring any
of the three fields that might be empty) and make that the page name,
with link-text formed (optionally, I suppose) from just the selected
field; and then<br>
2) could actually <span style="font-style: italic;">be</span> the wikiform page that feeds the wikilist, if the wikilist could find it, and<br>
2a) if the author/admin could format the wikiform page, adding text and
images that the wikilist would ignore if they aren't form fields.<br>
<br>
Thanks for your consideration!<br><span class="sg">
