TrickBlogger: Table Of Contents Widget For Blogger

You might have noticed the new Table Of Contents Section On this Blog.. It uses the Selective Widget Display.. This widget requires Javascript ans hence it will take time to load.. So we will be modding it so that it will be displayed on a particular Page only..

Demo of TOC

Here is the Step by Step Tutorial
1.Make a new Blank Post in Blogger With Title "Table Of Contents" (or whatever you like)
2.Before publishing this post,make sure that you set the publishing date to an old one so that this post wont appear in your blog feed..You can Do it From Post Options in the Post Editor.. Also Don't allow comments on this post

3.Now we have created a new post page where the Table Of Contents will be displayed

4.Note down the URL of this post that we created
5.Find

</head>

in your template and replace it with the following code after applying the proper url

<b:if cond='data:blog.url == "http://www.bloggerplugins.org/2005/06/table-of-contents.html"'>
<style>

#toc {
border: 0px solid #000000;
background: #ffffff;
padding: 5px;
width:100%;
margin-top:10px;
}
.toc-header-col1, .toc-header-col2, .toc-header-col3 {
background: #ddd;
color: #000000;
padding-left: 5px;
width:50%px;
}
.toc-header-col2 {
width:15%;
}
.toc-header-col3 {
width:25%px;
}
.toc-header-col1 a:link, .toc-header-col1 a:visited, .toc-header-col2 a:link, .toc-header-col2 a:visited, .toc-header-col3 a:link, .toc-header-col3 a:visited {
font-size:93%;
text-decoration:none;
}
.toc-header-col1 a:hover, .toc-header-col2 a:hover, .toc-header-col3 a:hover {
font-size:93%;
text-decoration:underline;
}

.toc-entry-col1, .toc-entry-col2, .toc-entry-col3 {
padding-left: 5px;
font-size:93%;
}
.post{display:none;}
.comments-block{display:none;}
.comment-form{display:none;}
.comment-footer{display:none;}
.blog-pager{display:none;}
.date-header{display:none;}
.feed-links{display:none;}
.comments{display:none;}
</style>
</b:if>
</head>

6.Now again edit your template.. Don't Expand the Widget Templates..
7.Find this line of code
<b:widget id='Blog1' locked='true' title='Blog Posts' type='Blog'/>

and immediately after that place this code snippet..(after editing the snippet with your toc url)

<b:widget id='HTML345' locked='false' title='Table Of Contents' type='HTML'>
<b:includable id='main'>
<b:if cond='data:blog.url == "http://www.bloggerplugins.org/2005/06/table-of-contents.html"'>
<h2 class='title'>Blog Table Of Contents</h2>
<div class='widget-content'>
<div id='toc'><img src='http://bloggerplugins.org/me/ajax-loading.gif'/>Loading The Blog TOC...</div>
</div>
<b:include name='quickedit'/>
</b:if>
</b:includable>
</b:widget>

8.Now Find

</body>

and place this code immediately above it after tweaking it with your blog urls..(there are 2 urls..replace all those green urls properly)

<b:if cond='data:blog.url == &quot;http://www.bloggerplugins.org/2005/06/table-of-contents.html&quot;'>
&lt;script style=&quot;text/javascript&quot; src=&quot;http://bloggerplugins.org/me/blogtoc.js&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;script src=&quot;http://www.bloggerplugins.org/feeds/posts/default?alt=json-in-script&amp;max-results=500&amp;callback=loadtoc&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;script src=&quot;http://www.bloggerplugins.org/feeds/posts/default?alt=json-in-script&amp;start-index=501&amp;max-results=500&amp;callback=loadtoc&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;script src=&quot;http://www.bloggerplugins.org/feeds/posts/default?alt=json-in-script&amp;start-index=1001&amp;max-results=500&amp;callback=loadtoc&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;&gt;showToc();&lt;/script&gt;
</b:if>
