Linking to an FAQ topic

Within a department you can futher restrict by topic. If you want to display only the FAQs for a specific subtopic, you append both the category parameter and the topic parameter to the web address:

&sc =topic label (as it appears in the tree control)

For example, to restrict the search form to the Dreamweaver topic within the Web department and to use the topic template (if defined), use:

http://www.bu.edu/phpbin/faqs/result.php?category=Web&sc=Dreamweaver

This restricts the FAQs displayed to only those in the Dreamweaver topic within the Web department. The tree control lists all subtopics of the Dreamweaver topic.

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.
