Template:Toplink

Basic usage

This template produces a 'Back to' link. Parameters:

Parameter	Actions
backcolour	Redundant as of September 2008.
linkpage	Name of page that you want to link to.
linktext	Text to display for above link.
tablelink	'Homepage' name that has the table layout for that section.
maplink	'Homepage' name that has map map layout for that section.
titleborder	Used to make toplink seem part of the front page design
pagetype	This applies a logo for that section, but the phrase has to be correct. Use 'Pathology' for WikiPath pages, 'Anatomy' for WikiAnt and Phys pages, 'Bugs' for WikiBugs pages, 'Clinical' for WikiClinical pages 'VPH' for WikiVPH pages and 'Blood' for WikiBlood.
For these parameters	"CURRENT PAGE" is displayed like the sublink headings with no link allowing for subpages to accommodate their own content maps/table views
thispagenormal	'Homepage' name that has standard WikiVet layout for the current page.
thispagetable	'Homepage' name that has standard WikiVet layout for the current page.
thispagemap	'Homepage' name that has standard WikiVet layout for the current page.
Subheadings
sublink1(to 8)	Name of page that you want to link to.
subtext1(to 8)	Text to display for above link.
tablelink1(to 8)	'Homepage' name that has the table layout for that section.
maplink1(to 8)	'Homepage' name that has standard WikiVet layout for that section.

The template can have as few or as many of the above variables declared. When using map and/or table views make sure that all views are declared on each page. The template will automatically detect the current page and consequently show no link for that page.

Linking back to other pages

This provides a link back to a higher section. The page can either be stand alone or supported with additional views.

Note: The table view is very rarely used on the wiki.

|linktext =
}}

Examples

{{toplink
|linkpage =Lymphatic System - Anatomy & Physiology
|linktext =Lymphatic System
|pagetype = Anatomy
}}

Gives

LYMPHATIC SYSTEM

OR

{{toplink
|linkpage =Lymphatic System - Anatomy & Physiology
|linktext =Lymphatic System
|tablelink = Lymphatic System (Table) - Anatomy & Physiology
|maplink = Lymphatic System (Content Map) - Anatomy & Physiology
|pagetype = Anatomy
}}

Gives

()Map\Tab LYMPHATIC SYSTEM (Map/Tab)

Using sublinks

This allows several 'back to' links to be used (up to 8). Sublinks can be used without linkpage or linktext being defined.They are a smaller font than that used for linktext.

{{toplink
|linkpage =
|linktext =
|tablelink = 
|maplink =
|sublink1 = 
|subtext1 = 
|sublink(2-8) = 
|subtext(2-8)= 
}}

Example

{{toplink
|linkpage =Lymphoreticular & Haematopoietic System - Pathology
|linktext =LYMPHORETICULAR & HAEMATOPOIETIC SYSTEM
|sublink1 =Primary Lymphoid System - Pathology
|subtext1 = PRIMARY LYMPHOID SYSTEM
|pagetype = Pathology
}}

Gives

LYMPHORETICULAR & HAEMATOPOIETIC SYSTEM PRIMARY LYMPHOID SYSTEM

The full code

It is possible to have viewing options for all of the eight sublinks as well as the main link.
