This is a little more difficult. You want to create a search web page address. With Internet Explorer, you can create a URL to make a District list by typing this example into the web page address:http://www.lionwap.org/query?District like "23-b"
After the page appears correctly, use COPY and Paste this string to the web page address that you want:
http://www.lionwap.org/query?District%20like%20"23-b"
This two step process is necessary, since some browsers DO NOT WORK
with spaces in the web page address. If you do not have Internet Explorer, then you must create the resulting web page address by substituting %20 for each space that is used in the search. DO NOT use a URL that has spaces in it.
Another method to create a Link List query is the use the
"+" symbol.
http://www.lionwap.org/query?District+like+"23-b"
Some areas will use the MD field and District field separately. In this case, the search should include BOTH the MD and District in a a query such as this:
http://www.lionwap.org/query?District="k"+and+Country="Turkey"
When viewing a longer list, you might notice that the Clubs do not appear in Alphabetic order. To correct this, use the phrase "order by Club_Name" along with your search. Here is an example:
http://www.lionwap.org/query?District+like+"23-b"+order+by+Club_Name
At LionWAP, we make every effort to correct the "spelling" of new web pages and standardize the district designation. So "23B" is changed to "23-B" since this is normal for clubs in that area. So you can see how important it is for everyone within the same district to use the dash and no spaces in the district designation. But this search is not case sensitive.
It is important for the ordering of these lists, that clubs in the
English speaking countries use a club name form, where the name of their community appear first, such as "Watertown Lions Club". For Spanish Lions Clubs, it is best if clubs use the local reference of a Lions Club as in this example:
"Club de Leones de Las Heras". Consistency will help make these lists appear in alphabetic order.
State and Country link pages already exist, so you can see the benefit of creating these special sub district lists.
