And if you scroll to the bottom of the page, click on the //'[to top]'// link - it'll take you straight back to the navigation-bar. There's also a <?php print($XE->utils->getlink("z_content&cid=" . $XE->page->cid(),"**contents page**") . ",\n"); ?> organised hierarchically, and always accessible from the //'[See also...]'// list - if in doubt, go there! [//*Note//: the site home-page will usually //not// use the standard navigation-bar. Instead, it will usually have a row of link-buttons, and links within the text to move to pages within the body of the site.] ---- ===In more detail...=== ::**Structure-tree**::To move 'up' in the structure-tree, click on the respective link in the list. ::**Previous/Next/Up**::These buttons will only be shown if a previous/next sequence is in use - such as the content of a book. Click on the button to move to the respective page; the 'Up' button, shown for the first or last page of the sequence, takes you back to the respective contents-page. ::**[More...]**::This list, if present, points to 'child' pages of the current page. Select the page from the drop-down list: you'll jump there directly if you have Javascript enabled, otherwise click on the 'Go' button to the list's right. ::**[See also...]**::This list includes links to 'sibling' pages of the current page (i.e. pages at the same level in the structure-tree), and to commonly-used pages. Sibling pages (if any) are above a separator-line in the list; common links are shown below the separator. Select the page from the drop-down list: you'll jump there directly if you have Javascript enabled, otherwise click on the 'Go' button to the list's right. The common pages are: -//<<GROUP>>// - shared 'home-page' linking all sites in this group -//<<HOME>>// - home-page for this site -//Site contents// - contents-tree for this site -//Your feedback// - your feedback to us -//Keyword-search// - list of links organised by keyword -//Site links// - links to other sites -//Site news// - news about this site -//Help// - this page ::**Add note...** //(selected pages only)//::Click on this button to add a note to the current page; after you've entered your comments on the form shown, the new note will be shown as part of the current page. ::**Add link...** //(links page only)//::Click on this button to add a link to the list of links for the site; after you've entered your link-details on the form shown, the new link to your site will be shown at the base of the list. ---- ===Link-icons=== On most pages we've provided cross-references to further information, including books and other resources. If the item is elsewhere on this site, we've shown a standard link; if the resource is on another site, we've used these icons to show options for follow-up: -[[:lnk_amzn amazon.com]] book is available from Amazon.com (we are an Amazon Associate) -[[:lnk_book e-book]] book is available from another e-book retailer -[[:lnk_site other web-site]] further details on another web-site -[[:lnk_link local web-site]] further details on another site in this group (easy to find your way back here!) ---- [[#aS]]===Privacy and email addresses=== 'Spam-crawlers' - unwanted web-robots trawling web-sites worldwide for email addresses - are becoming an increasing nuisance, but are almost impossible to stop. To protect privacy, the solution we've implemented has been to encrypt all mail-addresses and have mail-links open a form on the website. Apologies - but we think you'll agree it's better to do this than to have every email address on this site ending up in those wretched junk-mail lists... |
