| Topic | Question | Response | Resolved? |
|---|---|---|---|

Tableau | Should we standardize the "hover text" on the Tableau thumbnails? | Let's discuss this at the next Tableau meeting | No |
Lists of PDFS (or other uploaded files) | Can we use a code chunk to automatically make a bulleted list of links to all the PDFs (or similar files) in a folder? | Yes—though there are some drawbacks. For details, see Notes on listFiles.php . You'll want to use displayFilesAsList(). | Yes |
PDFs (or other uploaded files) | Can we reverse the listing order of PDFs (or other uploaded files) so that the most recent year will show at the top? | Sure! Put something like this in your code chunk: displayFilesAsList('*.pdf', 'rev'); | Yes |
PDFs starting with digits | Can I still use displayFilesAsList() if my PDF filenames start with digits followed by underscore? | Sure. Put an underscore in front of the digits. For example, instead of | Yes |
Tables of PDFS (or other uploaded files) | My automatically-generated bulleted list is awfully long. Can we use a code chunk to automatically make a multi-column table of links to all the PDFs (or similar files) in a folder? | Yes, though there are even more drawbacks than for the lists. See Notes on listFiles.php . You'll want to use displayFilesAsTable(). | Yes |
Headers/Code Chunks | Can I add a header to a code chunk? | Sure! Just insert something like: echo '<h2>Header</h2>'; within the body of the code chunk (after the "require_once" line and before the "?>"). You can put the header above or below the call to displayFilesAsList(). | Yes |
Contact/Staff | How do I add a staff bio? | See Adding a Staff Bio. | Yes |
