Candy Database · Documentation

About menu Some pages are about the database rather than what it documents: a change log, credits, a license. Put them in an _About folder and they are listed in the About menu of the top bar, not in the page list. The search doesn't look in them either. The menu only shows when the open database has at least one such page. Where to put them Like the header, an _About folder can go in three places:
  • the database folder, for pages shown in every version and language (credits, a license),
  • a version folder, for pages of that version only (its change log),
  • a language folder, for pages in that language.
The menu shows the pages of all three together. When two have the same name (without its number), the more specific one is used: a language's Change_Log.txt replaces the version's, and the version's replaces the database's. That way a translation can replace a page without the others being listed twice. Writing them They are pages like any other (see Pages):
  • Number prefixes set their order in the menu: 01_Change_Log.txt, 02_Credits.txt.
  • @title: and @order: work too.
  • They can show images and links, and the header and footer are shown around them.
Sub-folders of _About are not read: the menu has no categories. Linking to them Their ids start with _About/: link to a change log with [url=page:_About/Change_Log]Change log[/url].
