Actinic "Further Information" Pages not being created on my Sitemap

[horr80]

I have a number of Actinic websites and have been using the free website sitemap generator at http://www.xml-sitemaps.com/ .

The problem is that when I run this against my website http://www.hi-baby.co.uk/ the further information pages do not get created on the sitemap.

If I run this for a competitor who uses Actinic it does. Can anyone help?

Many thanks

Hi Richard,

I'm afraid that I don't know much about the sitemap generator that you are using but I could take a look at your pages and your competitors pages to see if they are different in any way. If you don't want to give your competitors web address on the community then click on the 'Contact Us' link at the bottom and send me a message with it on - mark it for my attention.

Hi Tracy

As requested I have emailed you through the contact us page.


Example problem page on http://www.hi-baby.co.uk is http://www.hi-baby.co.uk/acatalog/info_22.html

I have emailed the competitors page.


Many thanks

Hi Richard,

I've just take a look at your site and your competitors and the one thing that sticks out for me initially, is that his link for 'further information' is a text link and yours is a button (image). I wonder if the sitemap generator can only follow text links.

[TraceyG]

Another thing I notice is that your links are using our standard extended info pages and the link is:

<A HREF="javascript:ShowPopUp('info%5f2%2ehtml',380,750);">

his looks like it might be hard-coded as it is:

<A HREF="info%5f1%5f12345%2ehtml" onclick="ShowPopUp(this.href,400,350);return false;">· Further Information</A>

So it is probably more than likely that the sitemap generator can't follow the javascript link.

Hi Richard,

You can change this in the software so that all your extended info links are generated in this way by doing the following:

- go to the 'Design' menu and select 'Text'
- click on the 'Go To' button in the bottom left corner of the window
- in the 'Phase' field type -1
- in the 'ID' field type 2175 and click 'OK
- this will take you to a prompt that looks like:

javascript:ShowPopUp('%s',%s,%s);

- change this to:

%s" onclick="ShowPopUp(this.href,%s,%s); return false;

- click 'OK' and update your site.
