Fragment Separator and positioning

[namunday]

What is the template that creates the separators between fragments and if it is the product separator how do i use a custom property to use it between some products but not others.

Also, is it possible to place fragments between sections. I would like to break up some of my pages that list subsections but including fragamnts between them but the fragments always go to the bottom

I have established the the product separator does not dictate the fragment separator but cannot find anything like Act_fragmentseparator

What is the template that creates the separators between fragments

There isn't a fragment separator. Each fragment template starts a new table row containing that fragment.

You could create one by making a new Fragment Template e.g. Act_FragmentSeparator.html

<!-- HR Fragment Separator begin -->

<tr>
<td colspan="3" valign="top">
<!-- NETQUOTEVAR:FRAGMENTANCHOR NETQUOTEVAR:BROCHURE_TEXT -->
<hr>
</td>
</tr>

<!-- HR Fragment Separator end -->

If you edit BrochureTemplates.ini and add the line (below [Templates])

Act_FragmentSeparator.html=Brochure HR Separator

then this will show up in the drop-down list of fragment templates.

If you'd like to use Customvars then just replace the <hr> above with CUSTOMVAR:WHATEVER.

Norman,

at the moment, a hr width=90% is being created between fragments and i want there to be nothing (or at least use a black customvar). I have been able to do this with the productseparator fine and i understand most of what you are saying but would like to clarify soemthing.

actinic automatically knows of the productseparator template, how do i make it acknowledge a brochureseparator template or are you saying that i need to create a new fragment within actinic product section to be used solely as a separator. If this is the case how do i remove the hr width=90% that it is creating automatically.

hello namunday

If you comment out the fragment anchor in the fragment template/s you are using the horizontal line will not appear

<!-- NETQUOTEVAR:FRAGMENTANCHOR -->

HTH

I think that rather than comment out NETQUOTEVAR:FRAGMENTANCHOR (which could impact the display of seaarch results), or create a new fiddly template, what both myself and the originator of this thread would like to do is would be edit NETQUOTEVAR:FRAGMENTANCHOR.

Replacing the HR with an image would be great.


any ideas?

I have noticed in the replies above that everyone is focusing on the first query raised however I was wondering if anyone knows of a way of performing the above task.

I basically have a similar problem where i have a bunch of products in subsections and i want to break them up on a page by placing a header above each different group. I thought this would be possible through the use of fragments but i can't get them to go anywhere apart from at the top or bottom of a page. I need them in various locations throughout the page, thus splitting up the different products into sections with a header.

Any help would be amazing...

@Guy,

Unfortunately the section list is just that, a contiguous list. It can be moved as a list to the top, or the bottom, but not split into segments.

However, you CAN get the effect you want if you mark Location and Arrangement of Section List as NONE, then create your own Section Links in Fragments. This way you could have fragment with one or two Section Links, followed by text fragment, followed by Link fregament ....
