Sub-Section Layouts

[thruss]

I have multiple sub sections (5) and the 1st 2 are ok, but line 2, the image in "indented" and then further indented from line 3. (If you need to see what I mean, the url is http://www.fullofitawards.co.uk/acatalog/Novelty_Gifts_and_Awards.html.

Each subsection has override default settings checked, list placement is default, and all column counts are set to 2.

Layouts are set to parent mode. Any ideas?

Hi,

The table tags for sections are held within 'Design | Text'. Click on the 'Go to' button in the bottom left corner and type 1187 in the 'ID' field and click 'OK'. That takes you to a prompt that contains:

<TABLE><TR>

That and the next three lines control the table around the section headings and images. I suggest that you add an alignment tag to this prompt so it looks like:

<TABLE align="LEFT"><TR>

You may also want to specify the width of the cells so they are all the same size, so in prompt 1189:

<TD WIDTH="%d%%">

change this to read, for example:

<TD WIDTH="50%">

or you can specify a pixel width, such as:

<TD WIDTH="250">

I hope this helps.

I have done both of these. I now have all my subsections on one line with a very long horizontal scroll bar, how do I tell it I want 2 sections / sub-sections per line?

Also, I have a product with text underneath my sections with centrally aligned text which is now appearing on the end of the line with the other sections, I want that separate as well.

Thank you.

Hi,

Can you tell me which theme your site is based on (Design | Themes) and whether you have made any changes to the section template that you are using. Maybe you could make the section template available for me to download and test out here.

theme is based on twentyfour7. I think some modifications have been made. If you could have a look I would be very grateful. Do you have an e-mail address, and which templates would you need me to send you

Hi Dee,

Can you attach Act_SectionLine.html (if this is the one you use for your section layout) to your next post (the 'Attach File' option is under the 'Your Reply' box).

I can't attach a .html file?

Hi,

OK, can you email it to here (communityadmin@actinic.co.uk) and mark it for my attention.

The problem was looked into further outside the forum but for anyone else who might have a similar issue, it was caused by NETQUOTEVAR:SECTIONLISTTOP being contained within <div align="right"> and </div> tags in Act_ProductBody.html. This was causing the sections to align to the right.

Also, by fixing the widths of the cells in Act_SectionLine.html, the cells would be the same size even if the section images or section names were different sizes.
