in reply to Help wanted on Recently Active Threads

See Recently Active Threads Faqlet sitedoclet, which should also be linked from that page, I think. A general searching hint is, if your search terms bring you directly to a page you don't want, either use Super Search or add a bogus term to the end of your search, or just double your query.

    As a rule of thumb any sitedoclet will have an associated superdoc to go along with it. Normally it will have the same name but for omitting the 'sitedoclet' part of the title. So Recently Active Threads Faqlet sitedoclet is the sitedoclet used by Recently Active Threads Faqlet. The reason these arent the more usual sitefaqlet type (where there is no need for a superdoc) is because the RAT Faqlet needs to be able to output html that isnt legal in a sitefaqlet. Thus the illegal stuff is handled by the superdoc, and the normal stuff is contained in the sitedoclet so the SDC can manage it.

    sitefaqlets are text nodes maintained by SDC that are directly visible to the user. sitedoclets are text nodes maintained by SDC that will be inserted into a superdoc as dictated by the pmdevil responsible. Thus allowing SDC to maintain the documentation/text independently of pmdev.

    Thanks. May I suggest making a link to that page from the Recently Active Threads page, and perhaps from the page that "Need Help??" points to as well?

    I must say that adding bogus terms to the query is sufficiently unnatural for me that I would never have tried that myself.
