To make an introductory module page with links to sub-pages for Activities, Resources, Community, etc., create the page by inserting this

[[<page name of your new module>]]

into a page that will refer to it (or in your sandbox if you wish to work on it before releasing it):

Was: SSE Full Page Intro Now: Module Intro Page

{{Module Intro Page
 |title = Name of My Module
 |theme = sse
 |intro title =  Orientation
 |preparation title = Before you start
 |tips title = Hints
 |objectives title = Outcomes
 |guide title = Guidance
 |go title = Next
 |project boxes = {{course}}{{0%done}}{{nonformal}}{{tertiary}}
}}

edit it to specify the titles you prefer and save it.

Then use the resulting page. See instructions here on usage and how to make a navigator for the standard set of sub-pages.

Further tests etc.:

• test of {{subst: Module Intro Page}} using:
  • Template:Module Intro Page, and in future (possibly):
    • Template:SSE Module Page Generator Template - a form to generate an intro page.
• temp (a temporary area for use during template development and application to existing pages)
• test subst as a subpage - fine here under "User:..."
• test subst in default name space - now fine.

Technical Questions

...

Solved

• It all works fine if the new page is here under User:Ktucker/My Sandbox/... or under Portal: ... but not if the page created is in the default name space?? The 'Edit' links point to "<edit page name>" but the editable content of the box comes from "Template<edit page name>".
  • How do I get this to work for default name space pages?
    • I think the relevant code to change might be in Portal:Box-header ??
      • check for <name space:> in abs FULLPAGENAME and if exists go ahead else modify the generated links ...
      • maybe some form of redirection ...
  • Solved: needed to put in colons to indicate default name space:

editpage=:{{FULLPAGENAMEE}}/{{{editpage}}}
