changing NOWSERVING layout

[sametch]

When an account holder logs in Actinic displays something along the lines:

"Buyer: A.Person | Account: A Business | Login"

I would like to display the same info vertically ie:

Buyer:
A.Person

Account:
A Business

Logout

If I simply seperate out the Actinic Placeholders into a table. I get the following:

Buyer: A.person |
Account: A.Business |
Logout

Is it possible to seperate the "Buyer" and "|" from the Actinic palceholder "NOWSERVING" and do similar to "CURRACCOUNT" and "BROCHURE_LOGOUT_SIMPLE"

You'll find the format for the Account name and Buyer name in 'Design | Text'. Click 'Go to' and go to prompts 212 and 213. You can add your own HTML into there to add in table or <br> tags.

Thanks for your advice. I have now modified the text in lines 212 and 213 but i have another problem.

I wanted to add an image in this field.

When I do so, it appears fine in all the brochure and catalogue pages. But on the homepage I get the infamous red cross image not found. This is obviously down to relative addressing working fine for all pages in the acatalog directory, but index.html is one level up.

Is there any way I can make the image right for all levels e.g. do you have any standard variables that insert "acatalog/" when the index page is called and nothing for pages in the acatalog directory?

Have you tried giving the image an absolute path?

[sametch]

Nope! so obvious I didn't think of that one.

So I guess I would need to add the image filename to "additional files" so that actinic would then upload it and just quote full URL to image.

[Ben]

That's right.

Couldn't find an exact thread to pose this question, so I guess this will have to do!

Is it possible to display additional information about the account holder? In particular I'd like to be able to state whether they're a 'retail' or 'wholesale' customer. Obviously there must be a variable (ACCTYPE??) to display this information.

If any one knows how it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Kevin,

Retail is the base schedule upon which the wholesale prices will be created. Retail is the price that the non-logged in customer see's. When you log in Actinic shows the Retail price with a Your price tag for the price associated with that account.

Kind regards,

Hi Bruce,

Thanks for the reply. I appreciate what you're saying, but If I'm correct there is a field in the customer account record which allows you to specify whether the buyer has 'wholesale' or 'retail' status. This, as you quite rightly state, then instructs the website to display appropriate discounted prices.

Once the customer has logged in, somewhere on the pages will be the following example information.

Account: Simpsons of Langley Ltd. | Buyer: Kevin Simpson | Logout

I would like to add to this list of information..

Type: Wholesale
or
Type: Retail

Signifying to the client their acknowledged buying status. Can this information be displayed, and if so by using which field label (variable name)?

Regards,
Kevin Simpson

Try the following code:

<Actinic:NOTINB2B><!--</Actinic:NOTINB2B>
Type: Wholesale
<Actinic:NOTINB2B>--></Actinic:NOTINB2B>

<Actinic:NOTINB2B>
Type: Wholesale
</Actinic:NOTINB2B>That should include the correct messages for the correct people.
