Hi all. I’m new to Actinic Version 7 and am struggling with an issue that is probably quite simple to resolve with your help.

I’m using clean layout 13 which shows the section links on the left hand side. I have moved the NETQUOTEVAR:TOPLEVELSECTIONSTOP into a table and added images so my sections are displayed in a nice box by editing the act_primary template. Everything fine so far.

Now my problem is that my section links disappear when you go onto the terms and conditions, site map and search pages. This looks daft because my nice box that I created to hold the section links is still there with nothing in it!

How can I keep my section links visible for all these pages? I’m not to hot when it comes to editing the code but am trying to learn. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi Ben,

In order to understand this issue clearly, I need to have a look at your Act_Primary template. Also, can I have your website URL? (if you have uploaded it)

Cheers,

Many thanks for the reply. I havent uploaded the site yet as I'm still early in the construction of it. Here is the contents of my Act_Primary template.

2. Section list from current level and all children
3. The whole section tree

you only need sName or sURL from an array.

Hi Ben,

Thanks for the information.
Normally, NETQUOTEVAR:TOPLEVELSECTIONSTOP in Act_Primary template would bring the Top level section links only on Product pages. If you want to have Section links on all pages, you can use JavaScript to bring them. More options on using JavaScript and details are available from page 28 in Advanced User Guide V7 (http://www.actinicdownloads.com/docs/user_guides/advancedguide_7.zip)

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

I also want to show the TOPSECTION links on more pages.
I tried to download the advanced guide v7, but it won't work.

Page 28 on the version 6 user guide mentions using a top frame, but this is not what I'm after.

Hi Ben,

I tried to download the advanced guide v7, but it won't work.

For some reasons, I think your browser was unable to download the user guide from the link I posted. (I could still download the document from the link)

Anyway, you can download Advanced User Guide V7 from the link below:
