[pmwiki-users] pagelist fatal error

[Brent Zupp]

Thanks, Patrick. You're right. The limit right now is 8BM on this host.

Oddly, the problem is not appearing right now, so I'll just keep watching.

FYI, pagelists directives used:

For sidebar:

(:pagelist group=Category fmt=#title list=normal name=-Category:)

For homepage I have addition list:

(:pagelist fmt=#blog link=Category.Blog count=40 order=-time:)

Not seeing problem now, so this may be non-issue.

Thanks, as always, for your help.

Best,
Brent
