DPL talk:FAQ
Err... Why not create the FAQ using a DPL?
Each FAQ goes into a separate page, and the DPL lists them all. I actually tried this on my own site... the problem was that I wanted to create a TOC to list the questions at the top of the page, so I did something like "==%TITLE%==", however, the TOC appeared to be inside the DPL!
This was a problem because I wanted to split the FAQ into sections like Technical questions and General questions, which is naturally acheived by subcategories of the FAQ category, then I used a separate DPL for each subcategory. This messed up because ... er TOC was messy? I gave up in the end.
Just thought though! --Dmb 22:16, 15 September 2007 (CEST)
- Further, the articles would be sorted by hits... FAQ baby! This would be displayed on a page with a 'create an answer' inputbox. I dare you to say it should not be so! (Make it so?) --Dmb 22:18, 15 September 2007 (CEST)
I'm trying to work on this website http://www.collaborativelandscape.org/wiki/ARCH_728_2007 We are using DPL to make categories. If you'll look under Department/University Resources there are two pages, NDSU Homepage and Architectural Department Homepage that I want to actually link to external pages. NDSU Homepage needs to direct people to www.ndsu.edu I've tried creating a page called NDSU_Homepage and then from there redirecting people to http://www.ndsu.edu but that doesn't work for some reason it just leaves me at the redirect page.
My category code looks like: <br> |align="left" width="33%" style="background-color:#FFFFFF; border-top:1px solid #808080; border-bottom:1px solid #808080;padding-top:10px; padding-right:10px; padding-left:0px; padding-bottom:10px;" valign="top"| <h2 style="margin:0;background:#f3f3f3;font-family:sans-serif;font-size:120%;font-weight:bold;border:1px solid #808080;text-align:left;color:#000;padding-left:0.4em;padding-top: 0.2em;padding-bottom:0.2em;">'''[[:Category:Department/University Resources|Department/University Resources]]'''</h2> <br> <DPL> category=Department/University Resources ordermethod=title order=ascending redirects=include count=10 </DPL> <br> My redirect page looks like: #REDIRECT [http://www.ndsu.edu] [[Category:Department/University Resources]] Do you have any suggestions? Thanks
