'''Count Number Of Sub Pages Of Current Page'''

The macro [[http://moinmo.in/HelpOnMacros|<<PageCount(exists)>>]] returns the count of all pages in the wiki. Would it be possible to have a modified version of this macro that returns the count of only the subpages of the page from which the macro is called?

For example:

Page = !NorthAmerica<<BR>>
!SubPage = NorthAmerica/Canada<<BR>>
!SubPage = NorthAmerica/USA<<BR>>
!SubPage = NorthAmerica/Mexico <<BR>>

''Result of the requested macro, when called from page !NorthAmerica would be'' '''3 '''.

You can use the macro `<<Hits>>` on the page. e.g. We have `<<Hits(event_type=VIEWPAGE)>>` hits on this page.

I tried using `<<Hits(event_type=VIEWPAGE)>>`. It returns a much larger number than 3. When I use `<<Hits(event_type=SAVEPAGE)>>`, the returned number is smaller, but still larger than 3. Also, the returned number increases (though not every time) after saving the page or the sub page. Thank you (11/24/2010)

Oh, sorry I got it wrong, you are not interested in counts rather on amount of subpages.

In principle yes but [[http://hg.moinmo.in/moin/1.9/file/d70b5147ef0b/MoinMoin/Page.py#l1850|getPageCount]] would need an API change. 1.9 is not in development process. So we likly avoid changing API.  Alternativly it could be done by a macro calling [[http://hg.moinmo.in/moin/1.9/file/d70b5147ef0b/MoinMoin/Page.py#l1695|getPageList]] with a filter. If PageCount macro becomes converted to moin-2.0 one could implement it.

My programming skills are rudimentary at best. Could you point me to an example of a macro that uses getPageList so that I can try to adapt it? Thanks.
