Little hint in the documentation to understand the filter expressions ;) #40

When reading your code I triped over the filter-expression and that it uses the preg_match function of php. With that in mind i now can use the filter much more precise. Maybe a hint in your documentation would be nice for others, too.

To understand how to use it the german page page gave a good overview.

Just one additional info: Your filter is not exactly handling like discribed in the manual i found. It seems that is has problems with blanks even if framed with slashes. In my example i now use the dot as the wildcard character and i also get my desired funcionality.

What blanks aren't handled well? Can you provide me some example?

When I use: filter: /qds.0003/ is shows me every page with names like qds 0003..... like i want if I use: filter: /qds 0003/ with a blank i just get no result.

The filter attribute filters the pages by their ids. The page id cannot have space in it. The spaces are automatically converted to underscores. Can you try: filter: /qds_0003/?

Ah sorry. that was the hint. I'm using the option useheadings so it shows me the titles of a page as name. In this case I mixed it up with the IDs. When I use the IDs as filter there is no problem. My fault.
