A to Z Index

This package contains the code needed to take an OU Campus sitemap and output a list of each page in the sitemap at the time the page is published. The default styling for the output uses Bootstrap, which can be adjusted with CSS/XSL for different output structures and styles.

Using the Starter Code

The following steps will allow you to create an A-Z index page to an existing implementation.

1. Upload the az-index.xsl file to /_resources/xsl/.

2. Modify the XSL as needed to output the desired markup and fit with the rest of your normal "interior" page design. This package expects the standard common.xsl file will call a template named "page-content", which is where the magic happens.

3. Create a new PCF file based off your normal "interior" page design, then change pcf-stylesheet declaration to point to the az-index.xsl file.

End User Workflow

Once it is implemented, the managing an A-Z index is a simple process. To modify the links that appear, follow the steps below:

1. Manage the content that will appear or not appear on the A-Z index. Utilize the "Exclude from Sitemap" access setting for directories or pages that you do not want to have displayed. All pages that should appear on the A-Z index will need to be published before moving to the next step.

2. Publish the Sitemap.xml for the site.

3. Publish the A-Z index page.

More information about OU Campus' sitemap can be found on the OU Campus Support Site.

Additional Information

• The Index listing displays the page title for all pages that it can find a title for. If the title is not available, you will see the page's URL displayed.
• The A-Z Index will only display pages that are listed with a particular extension. The extension is determined by the XSL parameter "extension", which should be uncommented and adjusted at the top of /_resources/xsl/az-index.xsl if it is not previously defined (commonly available in /_resources/xsl/_shared/variables.xsl).
