Talk:Updating the Maps page

Would like to update the Maps page as I have some free time over the next few days. However am unsure how to use (or rather how we should use) the NCL. Looking for an example.

 * We don't use NCL anymore - it's no longer installed on the server. We use DPL instead now.  What do you want to update on what maps page?  Can you link the page you want to change?  I'd be happy to help you find/create a solution for what you're trying to accomplish.   &#x1f45f;&thinsp;ShoeMaker (Contribs&thinsp;•&thinsp;Message&thinsp;•&thinsp;Email )&thinsp;&#x1f45f; 22:14, January 29, 2020 (EST)
 * All of the map pages, like Maps, no longer display the listing of maps (except the hard coded one) and I am trying to figure out what I need to do get them updated as I have some time to update them.
 * Ahh. No worries.  Use Category listing in place of Category.  &#x1f45f;&thinsp;ShoeMaker (Contribs&thinsp;•&thinsp;Message&thinsp;•&thinsp;Email&thinsp;&#x1f45f; 20:44, January 30, 2020 (EST)
 * How do I make it sortable? I am assuming I need to add some sort of tag to the catagory, I am not sure and the help is not helpful.
 * My understanding is that I need to add a sort statement to the Category Tag on the individual maps.
 * With three Columns I would like to limit to one item per row (per column) if I am not using a table.  &thinsp;&#x1f45f; 10:44, February 4, 2020 (EST)
 * Yes, if I understand what you are asking, you need to define the sort key on the individual map pages - eg: Map of The Waterworks should be  (or   if you want it sorted into the W group).  I'm not sure what you're asking for on the "limit to one item per row/column" statement.  Category listing simulates the "compact bullet" setting for NCL and doesn't have rows or columns per se. &rArr; DDOstream (Contribs • Message • Email ) 10:22, February 5, 2020 (EST)
 * If you look at the Map Page you will see it has three columns defined, the category listing creates bullet list of items, with no line breaks between the items.  So one line in the column may have two and half entries or five or one it the title is long enough.   Trying to figure out how to put line breaks in or build a sortable table.
 * Then you'll want to build a completely new DPL template/call for that instead of use Category listing (which should never be nested inside of a Div col...Div col end - which I've cleaned out). If you need help with that, let me know and we'll work up what you want it to look like here and I'll create the DPL if you need.   &#x1f45f;&thinsp;ShoeMaker (Contribs&thinsp;•&thinsp;Message&thinsp;•&thinsp;Email )&thinsp;&#x1f45f; 14:01, February 5, 2020 (EST)
