EURAFeDaC static site - sort fields order
Window 1 :
Sorting records by cities and members names
Window 2 :
Sorting records by categories and acronyms
The FMP sort records dialog boxes prompted to select the sort arguments before exporting files :
- addresses : on City name then person index name fields;
- descriptions : on category (GB) then acronym fields.
The greatest advantage of having records so sorted before the site generation is to automatically generate hierarchical indices on
- Cities + person names;
- Categories + acronyms
as then the indices exactly correspond to the sorted and exported file records' sequences for later prior/next arrows browsing.
In fact, the FMPConverter may use this new sorted sequences to designate the derived HTML record files in the :
- pADREE (for protected, ADdREss, English) folder as ADRET0001.html, ADRET0002.html, ADRET0003.html, (for ADrEss, Tabulated, link number, .html suffix), etc. until the last filed record number;
- pFEDEE folder as FEDET0001.html, FEDET0002.html, FEDET0003.html, (for FEDEration, Tabulated) until the last filed record number;
Note: remember ADRET0000.ssi and FEDET0000.ssi represent work files containing the necessary JavaScript for cookie management.
Remarks:
The link number is needed to maintain the correspondance between the addresses and the federation descriptions as separate FMP files. This enables to automatically generate the navigation flip-flop between addresses and federation descriptions in the static EURAFeDaC Web site.
The link numbers suite should not have ruptures (discrete suite), to avoid the "file not found errors" generated by the automatic next/previous arrows navigation.
When the record IDs renumbering is used instead of the link numbers, the address-federation link is lost but sequence navigation ensured.
