Help Adding a topic
From GxPlex
This page explains how to add a new topic category to GxPlex so it appears automatically on Themes and topics.
What is a topic?
A topic is a category page that groups related regulatory documents. Every topic must belong to the parent category "Themes and topics" and carry a short description so it appears in the overview table.
Adding a topic via the browser
Step 1 – Open the new category page
Navigate to http://<wiki-url>/index.php/Category:Your_Topic_Name in your browser. The page will show "There is currently no text in this page." Click Create to start editing.
Step 2 – Add the required content
Paste the following into the editor and adjust the highlighted parts:
{{#set: Description=A one-sentence description of what this topic covers.}}
Pages in this category cover …
== Documents ==
{{#ask: [[Category:Your Topic Name]] [[Status::+]]
| ?Document name = Name
| ?Status = Status
| ?Area of validity = Region
| ?Version = Version
| format=table
| headers=show
| limit=50
| sort=Status
}}
[[Category:Themes and topics]]
| Part | What to change |
|---|---|
Description=… |
One sentence describing the topic — shown in the Themes and topics table. |
Pages in this category cover … |
A short introductory sentence visible on the category page itself. |
[[Category:Your Topic Name]] in the ask query |
Replace with the exact name of your new category. |
[[Category:Themes and topics]] at the bottom |
Do not remove. This line makes the topic appear in the overview table. |
Step 3 – Save
Click Save page. The new topic will appear on Themes and topics immediately — no further steps needed.
Removing a topic
Edit the category page and remove the line [[Category:Themes and topics]], then save. The topic disappears from the overview on the next page load.
