Extend child pages macro to display child pages based on page parameter

Description
A feature I would like to see is a macro that would create a list of child pages based on an input of a page for table of contents/index purposes.
Example:
ParentA has 3 Child pages, ChildA,ChildB,ChildC.
Current: child_pages displays the child pages of the current page in a list.
Proposed: child_pages(ParentA) displays the child pages of the page ParentA in a list. (retain default behavior with no param)
Real World Example:
This way someone can easily add a list of pages concerning a topic.
- Servers
- Printers
- Upstairs Printer
- Downstairs Printer
I added a patch #2174 witch (hopefully :)) solves this request.
- Status changed from New to Closed
- Resolution set to Fixed
Feature added in r2053. Implementation is slightly different than your patch.
By default, the link to the parent is not displayed (so that it works just like when calling the macro without parameter). But an option is added to do so.
Examples:
child_pages(Foo) # => diplays child pages only
child_pages(Foo, parent=1) # => diplays a link to Foo and its child pages
WikiHelper#render_page_hierarchy method is moved to ApplicationHelper so that this macro can be called from anywhere (not only from wiki pages) by giving the page title. Some tests are also added.
