I am trying to create a new Sub-Section in Actinic.
For example the section name is "PC And Video Games" the sub-sections would be "PS2", "X-Box", "Gamecube".

I know how to create them, but, I would like (from the main cataloge page) to click on PC And Video Games which would then bring up the next page with the 3 sub-sections "PS2", "X-Box", "Gamecube", and from there the user can select his option and the appropriate games would appear.

I have seen this done on other actinic sites but cannot work out how to do it.

All I can get at present is the PC And Video Section showing the pc games and the 3 section links at the top of this page.

Many Thanks
Peter

Hi
thanks for the reply.
I have put the products under each sub-section.

I am nearly there, but when i click on a sub section the menu reloads and when i click again on a section the correct page shows.

I have attached a screenshot of the actinic menu.

It looks fine. Are you trying to navigate through the pages by clicking on the headings that appear on the page or are you trying to create a drop down menu to allow easy navigation through the site.

If it is the former, can you post a URL because we will need to see it to understand your problem fully.

If it is the latter take a look at Nortree (which is shareware, ie. make a contribution if you find it useful, not free!) from Norman Rouxel at http://www.rouxel.cwc.net/actinicstuff.html which will do that for you very nicely.

Ok thanks, I am trying to navigate through the pages by clicking on the headings that appear on the to of the page.

Here is the url, http://trials.actinic.com/trials/trial1829/shop.html

The DVD section works fine.
It is the Music and Basic products options that are not working correctly.

Right... I have just re-edited this posting.. on testing the url the site works fine on two different Pc's in the office.
But I still have the problem on my development machine.
Any ideas?

Many Thanks
Peter

I see what you mean. I would suggest refreshing the web site and if that doesn't work recreate the sections from scratch and see if that makes any difference - Catalog has gotten confused somewhere.

Hi Jan
Just to let you know I finally sotred out the problem with the site. It seemed to be Ie5 that was causing the problem, as everything worked ok in IE6.
I have managed to change a actinic template to a different design. So everything seems ok now.
here is the link of the demo http://trials.actinic.com/trials/trial1829/shop.html
