Adding navigation links within the header guide

[leej]

Apart form the standard buttons that HeaderGuide displays, is there a way to incorporate new links alongside these such as Feedback and Customer Service Links.

Yes, but you need to hard-code the HTML for these links within the overall layout template - normally 'Act_Primary.html'.

Look for 'NETQUOTEVAR:FOOTERGUIDE' - this is the variable that inserts all the buttons. Put your custom buttons alongside this.

Thanks Chris,
Can the same be done for the Brochure Primary as I need to have all the navigation identical as in the Brochure?

[cdicken]

You need you need to copy over the HTML for the fully generated store navigation bar into your Act_BrochurePrimary.html template.

Only do this once you know your design for the navigation bar is stable. Also, you should use fully-qualified URLs in the links to the store functions. i.e. instead of just 'sitemap.html' link to 'http://your.URL/acatalog/sitemap.html'.

Chris,

sorry for being so thick when it comes to this but do you mean inputting the individual netquotevar: buttons across the top or placing the actual button images in the top, linking them (as stated) and then copying the whole code, when happy?

The NETQUOTEVARs will not work in the brochure pages, so you need to copy across the entire code for the navigation buttons from a live store page into your Brochure Overall Layout template(s).
