Problem with your Personal Page on WW2

Post 1

Deborah - WW2 Team

Dear WW2 site member,

The WW2 People's War Team is currently working on archiving the website, which involves taking all the data out of the DNA system and putting it into a 'flat', future-proofed xml site.

Your current Personal Page is unfortunately not compatible with the archive because it contains smileys, which are non-standard xml. Even though it works perfectly on DNA, it will not display properly in the WW2 archive.

We would appreciate your help in fixing this problem. There are two options:

1. Delete all the smileys from your page.

OR

2. Reformat all the smileys using the full smiley tag, eg: <SMILEY TYPE="smiley"/> or <SMILEY TYPE="ok"/>. You can read more about smiley tags here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/hub/GuideML-SMILEY

This will only work if your Personal Page is in GuideML format. Doing this will display the correct smileys while the site is live on the DNA system, but it will NOT work for the final archive. Smileys will not be displayed as graphics in the archive - you will only see the bit of code that originally created the smileys.

In short, best to delete the smileys. Sorry.

PS: You can use the SITEFILTER tag to create separate, text only content for your WW2 Personal Page. If you do this, the text on your WW2 personal page will be transferred to the archive, along with any contributions you made to the WW2 site. Your normal Personal Page, with smileys, images etc, will still be displayed on all other DNA websites, like h2g2.

You'll need this piece of code:







Here goes all the content that should be hidden from WW2 viewers, ie all the code that's currently on your Personal Page.








Here goes all the content visible to WW2 only - please stick to only text and paragraph breaks.
