Resources Page
Author: Webvanta
A single-page summary of everything in the Knowledgebase. One of many possible variations, this code is provided as part of your initial Webvanta site and is in the resources_page snippet.
This code iterates through each category, and for each one, it shows the Knowledgebase contents as follows:
- Articles, if any (not links to external articles, but just articles that are part of the site)
- For each of the other item types, all the Knowledgebase entries of that type (grouped by type)
In this example, items other than articles do not link to item pages, but instead link directly to external sites. You can change it to link to an item page by replacing w:url with w:path url="/item". Using the item page allows for commenting on each item.
