Template:GR Can't find: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 21:33, 12 October 2020

What else you can try:[edit source]

Code example 1:

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

{{GR Can't find|
  Number of search links=1| 
  Search link 1=|
  Search link 2=| 
  Search link 3=| <-- Currently handles up to 5 Search links (need extension:variable to change)-->
 }}

Code example 2:

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

{{GR Can't find|
  Location=Ohio|
  Vital type=Birth| 
}}

Template:GR Can't find - 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 #'.

Template parameters
Parameter		Description	Type	Status
Location	`Location`	The location of the GuidedResearch page. Default null Example Location=Texas Auto value `null`	String	optional
Vital type	`Vital type`	The Vital type that these links will exist in (Birth, Marriage or Death) Default null Example Vital type=Marriage Auto value `null`	String	optional
Search link 1	`Search link 1`	If not using the generic links for this section, you need to define the links Default null Example Search link 1=[[url to page\|Name of link]] Auto value `null`	String	optional
