question about the sidebarmenu extension
Hello, got a question about the sidebarmenu extension you are responsible for. Is it possible for it to automatically populate itself with subpages or categories?

For example if I have Category Called Car and then I have created pages BMW, VW and Toyota and put them in car category the sidebar menu would automatically show them?

Or if I have created a Folder Car, and then I create subfolders BMW, VW and Topyota they would automatically show up in the sidebar menu? Regards KH


 * The short answer is No, but the long answer is Yes. No, the sidebarmenu does not support this out of the box, But yes You can probably make something like this possible. The text within the sidebarmenu tags will be recursively parsed as wikitext. Which means you could for example add a semantic query which could query a category and then you can format the output through the template output format so it would coher to the syntax of sidebarmenu. Alltough i can't give any guarantees that this will work, i have never tried something like this myself. Oh and by the way, this question is probably better suited at the extensions talk page --netbrain (talk) 08:49, 12 September 2013 (UTC)
