Campus Directory Data

If you would like to use data that you've seen in the Campus Directory, you may do so easily! And if you follow the instructions described below, whenever the data in the Directory changes your web page will automatically be updated.

The data on the Campus Directory is pulled out of Banner and displayed on the web using information that is surrounded (or "tagged) by pound signs (##). You can use this data and display it on your web pages as you like. To find out out to do this, use the links below:

* The surrounding ## and the use of lowercase for each tag is essential.

Data Available from the Campus Directory


Retrieving Full Detail information for an entry in the Campus Directory

The purpose for using this tag is to help prevent the need for manually maintaining the information if you need to display it somewhere on your site. If you use this tag, the content will be updated on your web site, automatically, as the information is updated on Banner! Currently, this feature is fairly limited so if you have additional requests please email .

To display the Full Details from the Campus Directory entry, you would type (for example):

##directory:ITS##

Visitors to the page on which you typed ##directory:ITS## would see the following results:

Department: Administrative Departments
Location: Pioneer 106  (map)
Contact:
Web: http://its.cocc.edu
Phone: (541) 383-7400
Fax: (541) 383-7535

You can get the needed directory ID to include by finding the entry in the directory and looking at the URL for the details on that entry. The 'v' parameter is the value you need. For example, the above example for the ITS Department uses an ID of 'ITS', which was taken from the directory details URL for the ITS department which is http://directory.cocc.edu/?t=det&v=ITS.

At this point the Directory Details tag does not include the actual entry's name as a heading since it is so far expected that where this tag is used will likely want to customize any heading for the name for the person/department.



Retrieving Individual Attributes for an entry in the Campus Directory

If you want to retrieve the directory entry name or any other field individually you can add one of the following attribute tags to your directory tag as follows.
