Why is it that the catalog links and section text never appear in the sitemap, terms and conditions, basket or checkout pages? I have the catalog setup so that there is a list of links on the left, with the sublinks indented within, via the full description and !!<< links.

How do I call the links into the aforementioned pages? At the moment when viewing them, there's just a darker bgcolor where the links should be, and it looks really stupid because the layout is ruined without the links and borders.

I'd quite like to know how to list the same catalog sections list on brochure pages, too. Hard-coding them in seems a ridiculous way to do it, but I can't see how otherwise.

I'm afraid I don't really understand your terminology. By 'links' and 'sublinks' do you mean links to sections and subsections? Are these links inserted via a variable (NETQUOTEVAR:WHATEVER) in your overall layout (Primary) template?

If you could show us a URL, I will endeavour to make some suggestions.

It seems no-one does, even support couldn't help me.

In act_primary I have NETQUOTEVAR:TOPLEVELSECTIONSTOP running down the left, with subsections in between through the full description textbox's calls of !!<<a href="subsectionname">>!! (It seemed logical at the time, and I still don't know a better way without using javascript)

That netquote var doesn't work in the brochure pages, so I had to hardcode links in there for a start, which seems quite stupid.

On top of that, the actinic generated sitemap, t&cs, shopping cart and checkout all fail to display the sections, instead just having a blank space where they should be. I've spoken to Support on the phone, and the guy couldn't think of a way to display the section links.

http://www.digitalmemorycardsdirect.co.uk/ is our sitey site site. I refuse to use javascript, fyi.

I refuse to use javascript, fyi.

...in which case there is nothing I can suggest.

Unless of yourse you want to cast a cursory glance over the file I have attached which does exactly what you want and looks really smart.

But if you don't want to use JavaScript, that's fine.
