Linking to an FAQ subtopic

The subtopic search restricts the search results to a very narrow spectrum of the entire FAQs, displaying the page automatically triggers all questions within the specified subtopic to be displayed. If you want to display the FAQs for a specific subtopic append the departmental parameter (?category=department_name), the topic parameter(&topic=topic_name), and additionally:

&tc =subtopic label (as it appears in the tree control).

For example, to restrict the search page to the Getting Started subtopic of the Dreamweaver topic within the Web department and to use the subtopic template (if defined) use:

http://www.bu.edu/phpbin/faqs/result.php?category=Web&sc=
Dreamweaver&tc=Getting%20Started

The results are displayed in the subtopic template if such a template is defined and enabled.

Invalid parameters

When you pass invalid parameters, no results are returned in the search page. The tree control will show no items and searches will yield no result. Please inspect the href attribute of the link you used to trigger the search.

Parameters are case insensitive, but it is recommended that you type the parameter exactly as the name, topic, or subtopic label was defined in the administrative system.
