Cleaning up table of contents and navigation in RoadTest Reviews

cstanton
cstanton over 1 year ago

Hello,

We've realised that there's some duplication with tables of contents, particularly when it comes to RoadTest Reviews, and with our new Project Articles ( Ho-Ho-Hold on a minute, is that a blog? A new way to submit your project! ).

Verint, as a platform, has a way of inserting 'tables of contents' like this:

But there are problems with its formatting and how it works. For RoadTest Reviews as an example, we have an automatic generation of a table of contents which can look like this:

image

This helps to separate the content from the contents list when listing the content on Google, sharing on social media, etc. So we use this method in RoadTest Reviews and Project Articles.

Because we have this, it means that it's a duplicate of the 'insert table of contents' and you can end up with a heading of "table of contents" in this new list, and it becomes a bit cumbersome and confusing, it doesn't make sense to have both. 

So ultimately, we won't.

For Project Articles and RoadTest Reviews we're removing the ability to insert the table of contents from the menu.

Instead? Use headings, marked with the <hx> tags, where 'x' is a number. A lot of members already do this, but I realised we haven't actually pointed this out anywhere.

You can find heading formatting under the Format menu:

These menus should always be visible when using the Community from a laptop or desktop, maybe even a tablet. It may not always be visible when using a mobile device.

Thanks for reading!

    Hi Christopher, Will this mean the text are is narrowed? Is there a way to regain the text area by (say) having the left-side ToC being collapsible automatically? This will be a big issue with especially…

    Yeah, I've also previously expressed my dislike of the sidebar ToC because it takes up space and mucks up printability of the article. I manually trudge though the inspector and delete the div when reading…

    I'm not sure what you mean? All roadtest reviews from before verint were copied over to verint.

    Then that should probably be removed, would you like to link to some of what you mean?

    just like here:

    /products/roadtest/rv/roadtest_reviews/254/3ghz_spectrum_analyz

    The upper table of contents doesn't work any more.

    Same for all my other pre verint reviews.

    Thanks for the links.

    I have looked at the HTML markup on the links, and I can see why they no longer work.

    These links at some point used to link to another element on the same page. These have been lost and will no longer work.

    The best approach would now be to remove that table of contents that's inserted at the top, and make sure that the headings are properly sized (H1 to Hx) on the content to populate the new table of contents.
