Creating a non-photo Trail details

A Trail is a web slideshow which takes three simple steps to define with our wiki. The steps are:

1. Choose a name for your Trail - <name>
2. Create the trail page - Trail.<name>
3. Create an optional tabular index page - TrailIndex.<name>

Choose a name for your Trail

Choose a simple descriptive name for your trail such as 'Renee'. While you want to keep the name simple, you want to make it unique enough to not conflict with future trails that you might want to make.

Use the name you chose below whereever <name> is references. So if you see Trail.<name>, in our example this would actually be Trail.Renee.

Creating the Trail Page

This is where you define a list of webpages that you would like make into a trail.

Create a wiki page in the Trail.HomePage? group with the name of your trail, Trail.<name>.

The content of this page is a bullet list of wiki pages followed by a reference to your trail like this:

* [[ <Group>.<Page1>?Trail=Trail.<name> ]] * [[ <Group>.<Page2>?Trail=Trail.<name> ]] * [[ <Group>.<Page3>?Trail=Trail.<name> ]]

Notice how the wiki pages are defined: <Group>.<Page>. In the case of Photos, that might be Photos.Imgp11280.

Enhance your trail for Photos.

• If you want to see a thumbnail for your Photo Pages, simply put a dash after the last set of brackets defining your web pages.

Example:

* [[ Photos.Imgp1130?Trail=Trail.Renee ]]- * [[ Photos.Imgp1104?Trail=Trail.Renee ]]-

• If plan on making a tabular thumbnail index for your pages, you will need to define add a section to the bottom of your trail page to redirect to the tabular index such as this:

* [[ <Group>.<Page1>?Trail=Trail.<name> ]] * [[ <Group>.<Page2>?Trail=Trail.<name> ]] .... * [[ <Group>.<PageX>?Trail=Trail.<name> ]] (:if fullname Trail.<name>:) (:redirect TrailIndex.<name>:) (:if:)

Create a tabular index page - TrailIndex.<name>

This is simple booking step required to make your index pages have tabular thumbnails of the photos on your pages.

Create a wiki page in the TrailIndex.HomePage? group with the name of your trail, TrailIndex.<name>.

Put the following text in it
