Adding a Link on the Resource Listing

The first step to adding a resource is to create a link to it from the resource listing page. You can edit that page by going to it and clicking on 'Edit' on the red bar in the upper right of the page. Now you need to either find an existing category that your resource would fit in, or add a new category.

If the category you want exists, find it in the edit box. It should look like this:

{{Template:BehaviorCategory|Art}}

With the category name you want replacing 'Art'. Don't worry that the template says behavior, it is only for formatting. If the category you want to use doesn't exist, you can add it by copying the above line and pasting it at the end of the page before:

{{Template:HubFooter}}

And, of course, change 'Art' to the name of your category.

Now, to actually add the link to your resource, copy this:

{{Template:Resource|Resource Name|Resource Description}}

Below the category you are using. Replace 'Resource Name' with the name of your resource (make sure it's unique), and 'Resource Description' with a simple description of what the resource does. Now click on the 'Save Page' button to save and return to the updated page.

Creating the Resource Page

Creating the page is as simple as clicking on the link that you created in the previous step. This will take you to the edit page for your resource. Before you can add any content, you need to upload your resource file and, optionally, upload an image of your resource in action. To upload the resource file, you first need to zip it. In Windows XP, just right click on the file and go to Send To->Compressed (zipped) Folder. Then, click on the 'Upload file' link under 'Toolbox' on the left side of any TDN page. Select the zip file that you created and click on the 'Upload File' button. On the next page, it will give you a link to the file on TDN. Remember it. You can repeat this same process with an image file.

Now, paste the following into the edit page for your behavior.

{{Template:TGBResource|

Resource Name|
[[Image:URLToImage]]|
[URLToFile Resource Name]|
Resource Description|

}}

Replace 'Resource Name' with the name of your resource (in both places), 'URLToImage' with the link that TDN gave you after uploading your image file, and URLToFile with the link that TDN gave you after uploading your resource zip file. Then, replace 'Resource Description' with a description of what your resource does and how to use it. That's it. Just press the 'Save Page' button and everything should be setup.
