Instruction
Instruction video: Blogs - Table of Contents.
Configure the table of contents for the blog posts
Step 1: Navigate to Website > Configuration > Blogs to select a blog post to configure the table of contents.
Step 2: Choose any 1 blog post/create a new blog, the table of contents information fields will be displayed as shown below.
- Heading 1: Check this box for the header configured as Heading 1. The other Headings will be similar.
- Enable numbering heading: Check this box for the titles that are being numbered. For example: There are 3 headings: One heading 1 and two headings 2. Thus, the title will be numbered: 1. Heading 1; 1.1. Heading 2; 1.2 Heading 2.
- TOC Display Heading Minimum: Show the table of contents when there is a minimum number of headings. Example: When setting the TOC Display Heading Minimum is 3. Therefore, the blog post needs at least 3 headings or more to show the table of contents. If the blog post has under 3 headings, the table of contents will not be shown.
- Convert Heading Into HTML ID: The heading will be converted by HTML ID. With the system default settings, the HTML ID attribute will be displayed with the prefix: vtoc_, such as vtoc_1, vtoc_2,... However, when converting the heading into HTML ID, the HTML ID name will be the heading name. For example: If the Heading 1 is Demo, then the HTML ID will also be Demo. This is a feature for developers who are knowledgeable about the HTML language and want to set up the layout of the table of contents in blog posts in their way.
- TOC ID Prefix: The HTML ID title attribute prefix. The system has the default prefix: vtoc_.
- TOC ID Suffix: The HTML ID title attribute suffix. If left blank, the TOC ID Suffix will follow the ascending natural number attached by the TOC ID Prefix. For example: vtoc_1, vtoc_2.
- Exclude Headings: Specify the heading that you don't want to show on the table of contents. Example: Enter the title Viindoo Enterprise, which is the Heading 1 of the article, into this field. This Heading 1 is still in the blog post but will not be shown in the table of contents.
