Where to link for an overview of specifications

[Chris Dee]

The Parts Tracker has a main navigation link to LDraw Specifcations (which is currently a dead link to http://www.ldraw.org/modules.php?op=modl...le&sid=292). On the new site I can only see leaf pages for each specification item (e.g. http://www.ldraw.org/article/218.html) even though the breadcrumb trail (Home > Documentation > File Format Standards > File Format 1.0.2) implies the existance of intermediate nodes.

Is there (or can there be) a direct link to Documentation or Official Library Standards?

The reformatted article 292 is on my disc. I still have to decide where to place it. I don't wanna break up the current linking form "documents" since a cascade doesn't work properly. I tend towards a page not linked from the main link bar but place a quick link box above the TOC on every spec page.

Thoughts?

As far as I know you can put articles in section headers (see Help->Get Started) so you could put it above the other menu items.

Or did I misunderstand something?

Do you mean something like this? Very crude right now but can be filled out.

Chris,

the Specification Main Page is up: http://www.ldraw.org/article/292

in addition split information has been added to the sub-categories with a quick link box on the right:

http://www.ldraw.org/documentation/ldraw...dards.html
http://www.ldraw.org/documentation/ldraw...dards.html
http://www.ldraw.org/documentation/ldraw...uides.html

hope this fills your needs.

I really like that setup Makes the old-style link trail alongside the menu. Thanks so much.

I think it might be nice to have 'show' in the menu though. The more ways to find it the better (within reason).

Nice, thanks.
