View Full Version : Placement of fragements

I have my products laid out in a grid format which then links through to the individual products. I have then put a fragement for each section to explain what the products in this section are for - however I can only get this fragment to display at the bottom of the product grid (which kind of defeats the object as it can be hidden off the bottom of the page!).

Is there any way that this fragement can be moved so that it dsplays at the top of the page ahead of the images.

Also, as an aside, I cannot seem to get it to align completely to the left of the page.

Any help much appreciated. Donna

Against the section (or at a global level) look at Location and Arrangement of Section lists - you can override there to put the list at the bottom

Aligning fragments may not be entirely possible due to table / cell padding into which the fragment is sitting - if you can post a URL where this is happening someone may be able to check it out

If you take a look in Act_TextAndTitle.html template in the root of the site1 folder you will see the fragment sits inside another 3 column table (another of the wonderful nested tables inside of Actinic) - try removing the master table columns - I would also be inclined to make the fragment a <div> to remove a table and improve the download

Hi

I have commented out the 3 column main table and it takes all the text to the left which is great however it seems to spread all my products out right across the screen and open up the gap in between each one which looks rather odd. Also sorry but have no clue as to what you mean by make it a <div> ... said I was a total novice. D

Hi Bruce - link is here - I have changed it back to the standard way at the moment so you will see the indent on the fragment. Cheers Donna

Hi Donna,

In Design | Options | Sections .. 'Parent Section Links', against list placement select 'Bottom'. This will make the section links appear at the bottom of the page and the fragments at the top.

Kind regards,

Thanks very much, my real problem is the alignment of the fragement once it is at the top. I have managed (with community help) to get the fragements displaying at the top, however they do not align to the left far enough. This looks a little odd and makes the text space a little limited. If I apply the fix that was given earlier in the thread it aligns the fragment to the left but also spreads out all my products putting huge gaps between them and ruins the effect of that page layout. Any thoughts? At present I am living with the indent problem. Donna

Hi Donna,

Is it possible to upload the template, so that I can have a look into the HTML code?
