You might check out the [tree ...] tag in 4.7.x. It allows you to
specify a master item (thread) and then walk down the tree.
You would want a SQL database for it, though, as I think the
overhead for GDBM would be high. And indexing is a must.
id parent code message
1 99 a
2 a b
3 a c
4 a d
5 a x
6 x y
7 x z
8 99 m
9 99 n
10 99 o
11 o e
12 o f
13 o g
The above sample data would produce:
a mv_level=0, mv_increment=1, mv_children=4
b mv_level=1, mv_increment=1, mv_children=0
c mv_level=1, mv_increment=2, mv_children=0
d mv_level=1, mv_increment=3, mv_children=0
x mv_level=1, mv_increment=4, mv_children=2
y mv_level=2, mv_increment=1, mv_children=0
z mv_level=2, mv_increment=2, mv_children=0
m mv_level=0, mv_increment=1, mv_children=0
n mv_level=0, mv_increment=2, mv_children=0
o mv_level=0, mv_increment=3, mv_children=3
e mv_level=1, mv_increment=1, mv_children=0
f mv_level=1, mv_increment=2, mv_children=0
g mv_level=1, mv_increment=3, mv_children=0
from the tag call:
[tree start=99
parent=parent
child=code
autodetect=1
full=1]
