Custom Fields

Custom Fields: Delicious Links

There are two types of custom field widgets:

1)    Learning Commons Custom Fields
Regularly used for any information that should be extracted from the custom fields on each page. This widget directly displays the value of the custom field found on any page (in HTML format).

2)    Learning Commons Delicious Links
Used to display the related links of a page (extracted from Delicious). This widget does not display the content of the custom field used, but it uses tags to call up the right set of links for each content page.

To learn about the tagging structure on Learning Common’s Delicious account and how it relates to the Learning Commons, follow the training prep guidelines posted on Basecamp.
