Adding Custom Quick Links and Search Options

Custom Quick Links and Search entries can be added to your department's site using the UNL Templates. The templates use a special method to insert your own <option> tags, while allowing your site to maintain all the other externally updated entries.

Within your sharedcode directory are two files qlinks.ssi and qsearch.ssi that contain sample <option> tags to add to your site. Edit these files to suit your needs.

To 'Turn On' your custom entries, you need to replace the toolbar include to add in the custom entries.

Then replace the toolbar.asp include with a sandwiched version, placing your qsearch.ssi between them. Replace:

<!--#include virtual="/unlpub/templatedependents/templatesharedcode/includes/toolbar/toolbar.shtml" -->

With:

<!--#include virtual="/unlpub/templatedependents/templatesharedcode/includes/toolbar/toolbar_a.html" -->
<!--#include virtual="/cbas/sharedcode/qlinks.ssi" -->
<!--#include virtual="/unlpub/templatedependents/templatesharedcode/includes/toolbar/toolbar_b.html" -->
<!--#include virtual="/cbas/sharedcode/qsearch.ssi" -->
<!--#include virtual="/unlpub/templatedependents/templatesharedcode/includes/toolbar/toolbar_c.html" -->

Sandwiching your <option> elements between there.
