Brocure page buttons in Nav bar of catalog

[Fam4]

Hi everyone

I am currently building a fairly large e-commerce site for the 4x4 parts company I work for using Catalog 6.0. I have run into a problem. I need to be able to access a couple of pages that are in the brocure section (accessible from the Nav. bar of the front page) whilst customers are browsing the catalog, one for instructyions in cas ethey get lost or confused, and another linking to an 'FAQ' for the vehicles we sell stuff for (there are a few sticky issues regarding manufacuring years that we want to cover to save us grief in customer service).

Does anyone know, or can anyone suggest a little guidance, on how top put buttons from the brochure into the catalog as well? I have currently hard-coded two buttons into the template but it's not ideal as they don't have any 'MouseOver' state or anything and look out of place as there is a gap between them and the rest of the buttons.

Thx for any help

Hello there.

I managed to get this to work by viewing the source of my online site then locating the code for the buttons.

The code for the "more" button image and the mouseover effect is shown below:


<A HREF="P_More_Info.html" TARGET="_self" onMouseOver="SwapImage('button4','../brochuremore2.gif')" onMouseOut="RestoreImage()"><IMG SRC="../brochuremore1.gif" ALT="More Pages" BORDER=0 HEIGHT=78 WIDTH=70 name=button4></A>

Locate the code for your button, and then copy this code to the Act_Header.html. (It would be a good idea to make a backup of this template first should it all go wrong).

You will need to make the following changes, from the A Href remove the P_ which proceeds the HTML page. This is for preview mode. Remove the ../ from the .gifs that you are using for your Nav images. I have made these changes bold for you to see easily.

<A HREF="More_Info.html" TARGET="_self" onMouseOver="SwapImage('button4','brochuremore2.gif')" onMouseOut="RestoreImage()"><IMG SRC="brochuremore1.gif" ALT="More Pages" BORDER=0 HEIGHT=78 WIDTH=70 name=button4></A>

Please note that the changes will not be picked up in the preview in Actinic, as the code will only work when the site is live.
