View Full Version : Adding subsections to the section tree

The standard Actinic 'search by section' feature uses just the top level sections in it's list

Is it possible in V5 (I know it is in V6) to amend this so that the top level and first sub sections are visible?

Many THanks

Yes, just ensure that the 'Include as selectable section on Search Page' box is ticked for the sub-sections.

Hi Chris,

Thanks for that... it works fine... but only on the search.html page

I need it to work throughout the site

I have tried copying the following 2 lines into the HEAD tags

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" SRC="Act_sections.js" TYPE="text/javascript"></SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" SRC="Act_section_tree.js" TYPE="text/javascript"></SCRIPT>

and the relevent javascript that calls the subsections on the search.html page however this doesn't seem to have any effect

Do you have any other ideas what I might try

Cheers

Jos

You could use NorTree. This uses the Actinic section structure and gives you a complete dynamic navigation system. See it live on www.snowlines.co.uk (mouse over the binoculars). It's free and at www.rouxel.cwc.net/nortree/index.html where you'll see one of the many alternative layouts it can generate.

Oh, I see.

You want to edit the drop down list that can jump to a specific section. Right then.

In the Advanced User Guide it has some code to copy and paste into your store to insert a drop-down that includes the sub-sections. It is on p34 of the latest AUG.

Chris,

Thanks once again.

Can I assume that this will work equally well with V5?

The AUG section you talk of is in the V6 AUG not the posted V5 one on the actinicdownloads site

Cheers

True.

The v5 one should work fine. It is practially identical.
