What are content maps?	1. Creating a Content Map	2. Using Content Map Converter	3. Uploading a Content Map	4. Updating Previous Content Maps	All Content Maps on WikiVet

At this point you will have all the required compontents to make a successful Content Map on WikiVet, that is the Content Maps image file and the code produced by Content Map Converter.

Uploading the Content Map Image

1. Upload the Content Map image that was produced when you exported the Content Map from the CMapTools program in step 1
   • Upload files using the 'Upload file' link on the left hand-side bar in the 'toolbox' section, or click here
   • DO NOT change the 'destination filename' as the images exact name is used by the code created in Content Map Converter

The Content Map Page

It may be hard to visualise the following steps, so for an example of the code on a Content Map page visit this page

1. Create a page for you content map
   • Remember to use the toplink navigational bar, and note that the bar will specifically support Content Map pages. See here for more details.
2. Paste in the code that was created in Content Map Converter
   • Either from directly from your clipboard if you copied the code or from the text file if you save the code
   • Often it is better to centre the Content Map and this can be done be putting <center> before the code you have just inserted and </center> after it.
3. Add the following code to the bottom of the page: [[Category:Content Maps]]
4. Click 'Save Page' to view the Content Map

Uploading the Content Map Files for other users

While a Content Map has now been created on WikiVet, it is static and will become out of date as users add more pages to a particular section or change a pages name. It is thus very important to upload the Content Map files onto WikiVet so other users can update you Content Map. Follow the steps below to do this:

1. Go to the directory on your hard drive where all the CMap files are stored that are produced by CMapTools
   • It is usually in 'My Documents'/'Documents' and then 'My CMaps'
2. In the 'My CMaps' folder there will be other folders that are named after the Content Maps you have produced
3. Select the Content Map folder that you wish to uplaod to WikiVet and right click it
4. On the menu select 'Send To' and 'Compressed (zipped) Folder'
   • The computer will then created a compressed folder (.zip file) in the 'My Cmaps' folder
5. Return to WikiVet and go to the upload file page (here)
6. Select the compressed folder (.zip file) that you have created for uploading by clicking the 'Browse' button
   • Don't modify the 'Destination filename'
   • In the summary box add [[Category:Content Maps Files]]
   • Click 'Upload'
