Products help...

[James13009]

im trying to create a table of products, (ie that are not seperated by the grey line(that seperated products) i have managed to change the layout fine, but i have a table per product. And i just want one only table (because because its useful when comparing sizes)

So far i have create a table for product one and a table for product two. (i want these to join which they would if it wasn't for the grey line seperating preoducts out. (i assume this line is also used to seperate varible between the two products)

Is there any way to remove this line.(or turn it the same colour as the background and remove the space) or is there a better way to achieve what i want



Hope i have explained this well enough thank in advance

Hi James,

there are a couple of solutions :

1. comment out Act_ProductSeperator.html

2. merge several of the Act_ProductLine.html templates together. This is the prefered solution ... open Act_ProductLine.html (or whichever template you are using) and you will see the code ... at the bottom you will see a "NEXT" command ... this tells Actinic to close off that template and move onto the next product and start over again ... if you copy and paste the code above the "NEXT" command over and over Actinic will compile the pages before a break appears. The "NEXT" command should appear only once on the page and at the bottom as per the original template.

So if you paste 3 times into the original you will get 4 product in a row before the line break .. this will also allow you to say use alternate background colours to create a tabulated effect.

If you only have 2 products in a section only 2 will show
