Template:GR sidebar: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 00:43, 20 January 2021

Code example 1:

If you wish to use your own links in this section, use the following:

{{GR sidebar|
  Location={{PAGENAME}}|  <!-- Note: Vital type is not needed if sending specific links -->
  Search link 1=|
  Search link 2=| 
  Search link 3=| 
 }}

Code example 2:

If you wish to use the predefined links in this section, only pass Location and Vital type:

{{GR sidebar|
  Location={{PAGENAME}}|
  Vital type=Birth| 
}}

Template:GR sidebar - creates the section 'What else can you can try' on the GuidedResearch pages. If generic links are to be used for the 4 different links ('Additional Online Resources', 'Substitute records', 'Improve searching', 'Why the record may not exist'), then simply pass in the parameters 'Location' and 'Vital type'. Otherwise, pass in the detailed links to be used in 'Search link #'.
