Indexer

Indexer allows you to automatically generate links to index/glossary/topic pages within your content based upon keywords you define and the destination pages those keywords should link to.

In the dashboard you maintain lists (you can have more than one list at a time) of keywords and select pages within your site that those keywords should link to.

In your content pages you simply add the Indexer block, which is invisible in normal browsing use, and tell it which keyword list you want it to use (or all lists) and which CSS class you would like it to generate links within and finally any specific HTML tags you'd like to restrict generation to, e.g. <P>, <DIV>, <LI>.

Then, whenever a page containing the Indexer block is displayed, the Indexer will automatically search for the keywords you chose within the tags you want inside the CSS tag you specified.

For example you could have a list called 'Cars' defined in the dashboard with keywords of Lamborghini, Ferrari, Jaguar, Bentley and a content page with some blurb about car manufacturers inside a DIV which has a class of 'makers'. You could add the Indexer block to this page and specify a class of 'makers' and HTML tags of, say, DIV and P and select the 'Cars' keyword list for generating links.

Now wherever in your 'makers' DIV you have Ferrari, Bentley, Lamborghini or Jaguar the text will be wrapped in a hyperlink to the page you specified against that keyword in the dashboard without any more effort from you.

N.B. Updates generate an erroneous Database Error message at the moment which does not seem to affect the update taking place. This is thought to be due to a change in C5's handling of db.xml files and is under investigation.
