So recently, I developed a way to nest modules (such as ListPages module) within each other. I used a new technique with a "hybrid module" (as named by Wikidot).
A few days ago, I fell with despair when Wikidot decided to "fix" a bug which allowed me to nest modules. My hours of work went down the drain. I was planning on releasing a Social Networking platform using Wikidot coding ONLY this weekend. I have also started on building an easy blogging platform for Wikidot too - but all my work got destroyed when the "bug fix" occurred.
Now - several wikis have been broken. My hours of work (and many other's work) have gone down the drain. Without any additional programming by Wikidot - we could create nestable modules. This was a remarkable discovery and removes all limitations of modules!
The Nestable ListPages itself has enabled us to do many things never done before!
- Allowed us to show threads from a No-Comment Forum on the main page.
- Allows us to build and show complex family trees and connections like in James' Family Tree app.
- Allows us to show the current user's recent activities on a wiki. i.e. the recent pages they have created
Those are just some of the possibilities for the NLP. I can imagine many complex apps achievable using pure Wikidot syntax!
I really wish Wikidot reconsider the removal of the ability for users to nest ListPages. This will open doors to a whole range of apps and tools! PLEASE PLEASE!!!!
