While using DBRECURSE would like to exclude

I'm having problems to get a "clean recurse list" of topics?

LynnwoodBrown had given me some answers in Question2175, how to get a recurse list (with VarSEARCH) and had "moved me" to this extension. It's absolut easy, but ...

Now while using %DBRECURSE{"WebHome"}% or %DBRECURSE{"Question2177"}% I get also a list of ALL - include web-specific topics:

WebAtom, WebChanges, ...

If I put in an "exclude("Web*"), then only pieces of the recurse topics will be shown ...

So what's wrong with it and/or how can I exclude the "Web-topics"?

Your regular expression seems to be wrong. How about

exclude="Web.*"

Does that work out? Another idea: remove the topic parent "WebHome" from those topics you don't want to list.

 exclude="Web" is the solution

. Not realy shure why, but it's working

Because DBCachePlugin seems to be the easier SEARCH, it should be installed at Foswiki!?

It will be. All of F.O. will get a serious relaunch soon.

Now, after working around with DBRECURSE something went wrong with the bullets. The first topic stays outside of the listing and sub-topic has 2 bullets. Here is the source:

%SPACEOUT{%DBRECURSE{"WebHome" exclude="Web, Umgang*,Templates*"}%}%

Will try to upload also a screenshot of the "result".

Looks like, that SPACEOUT is the problem. Without it - list is ok!
