++BROWSEMORE++

What It Does

The ++BROWSEMORE++ widget displays the text "Browse more...," followed by a list of links to context-appropriate sections or subsections of the site. It is a particularly good practice to include either ++BROWSEMORE++ or ++MOREMAIN++ on all main section templates to help your users browse to additional content in the section.

The ++BROWSEMORE++ widget has a different display depending on what page it is on:

• Homepage. The list of links consists points to the main pages of each main section of the site.
• Main section page. If the section has subsections, the list of links points to the main page of each subsection. If the section has no subsections, then ++BROWSEMORE++ optionally displays the main sections instead. Also, if there are more articles in the section than displayed on the main section page, the widget optionally links to the section's archive page (this archive page is displayed using the subsection index template). For complete details about linking to the section's archive page, see the entry for ++MOREMAIN++.
• Subsection index page. The list of links points to all of the subsection's "sibling" subsections -- that is, all of the subsections in the same main section. If there are no subsections in the main section, then ++BROWSEMORE++ optionally displays the main sections instead.
• Article page. The same display as the subsection index page: the list of links points to all of the "sibling" subsections of the current subsection. If there are no subsections in the main section, then ++BROWSEMORE++ optionally displays the main sections instead.

NOTE: The ++PULLDOWN++ widget displays similar content but in a pulldown menu instead of a list of links.

The Markup Results

The ++BROWSEMORE++ widget is an inline element that is not contained in any HTML block tags. The "Browse more..." text and all section/subsection links are on their own line, separated by <br> tags.

Templates Using This Widget

You may use this widget in all page templates:

• Homepage
• Main section page
• Subsection index page
• Article page

Customizing This Widget

Users with administrator or webmaster privileges can customize the ++BROWSEMORE++ widget in the "Site Navigation" panel of the site's widget settings. The relevant settings are under the heading "BROWSEMORE and PULLDOWN options":

• If no subsections to display, show main sections instead. If you leave this option unchecked, the ++BROWSEMORE++ widget will be empty on main sections, subsections and article pages in all main sections that contain no subsections.
• On main section pages, add the MOREMAIN link to the top of BROWSEMORE. See the entry for ++MOREMAIN++ for what this link does. Checking this option effectively combines the ++MOREMAIN++and ++BROWSEMORE++ widget into one.

Styles

The ++BROWSEMORE++ widget is displayed in the default body text and link styles.
