Hi Shane, thanks for the quick reply. :)

What I'm trying to achieve:
Have the TOC's from multiple pages displayed on one (main/ master) page. Each of these pages will represent a different software category and will contain a fair amount of information when it's finished. The Master page will automatically show new software added to any of the sub-pages as the TOC's update.

NOTE: For this to work as I hope, each TOC will be in a different cell withing the table on the master page.

Why?:
This will allow a user of my site to view a full list of available software from one page, while (from my point of view) preventing the master page from becoming bloated with what is already close to 200,000 characters (the max for a single wiki page) AND will reduces the loading time by splitting it to multiple pages.
What?:
Master/ main page: http://hobstarcs.wikidot.com/pc-software - Where ALL of the TOC's will be displayed.

All current (4 more to come still) 13 sub-pages - where the TOC's will come from.

Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.

You're editing the pages yourself, so it does not really need to be updated online…?

Or are the pages edited by random contributors?

If it's the first case, you can maintain them as text files offline, and use a simple Perl script to update the master TOC. You do need to copy/paste but that is fairly quick.

Okay, first thing, start using categories.

Step 1

All I've altered above is to change the hyphen (-) into a colon (:) after the phrase "pc-software". By doing so, you've created a category called 'pc-software' and have put all of those pages into that category. Pretty simple, really..

I also recommend renaming the pc-software page as shown in the last line of the table. That will mean that it's also part of the category. The reason the underscore is at the beginning (_start) is because that basically makes the page hidden to the ListPages module, which could be very useful in future.

Step 2

The next thing is to add the table of contents to each page. Do this for each of the 3D modelling, audio and video, browsers, etc. pages

Make sure the source code looks like this:

[[toc]]
====
The rest of your page's content goes here...

That ==== is very important. Also, make sure that only [[toc]] appears above it.

Step 3

Go to your pc-software:_start page, and add the following code for a really basic list of ToC's: (you can edit it to suit how you want it to look later)

[[module ListPages category="pc-software"]]
+ %%linked_title%%
%%content{1}%%
[[/module]]

What that code does, is to list every page in the pc-software category, except those starting with an underscore. The way that it lists those pages, is in this format:

Title of page

Table of contents will appear here, because it's above ==== on each page

Disclaimer

I haven't actually tested this, but it should work fine.

If you need more help, ask. I can edit the pages directly if you want me to, but you learn better by doing it yourself.

Thanks Pieterh,

I had originally considered this way but wanted to see if there was a "lazy" to make them update on the 'Master' page. ;)
