All Data From All Sections

[1stDuncan]

Does anyone know why "All Data From All Sections" layout will only generate the file Act_section_tree.js once if I am using a design registered in DW?

If I use the Smart theme the Act_section_tree.js file will update with every change I do in Actinic. I've copied the code from the head of this theme and pasted into my DW design and it won't update.

It makes me think that there is something in the INNERLAYOUT that causes the file to refresh after any change to the content tree.

Haven't got a scooby why you're finding this. I use a registered design and have never had that issue.

Sounds like a question for support...

Hi Duncan

What version of Actinic are you using? I remember a few problems with this with earlier versions, but it's working pretty well now (804)

As an alternative, you could always consider using the Actinic 'Advanced List' functionality, described on p43 of the AUG.

For example, here is how to do a jump list using this code:

<select size="1" name="ACT_droplstbox" onClick="if(options[selectedIndex].value) window.location.href=(options[selectedIndex].value)">   
<option value="" selected="selected">Select a section</option>
<actinic:block type="EntireSectionList" >
   <option value="<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22IsLoginPageSuppressed%22%20%2f%3e%20AND%0d%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22UnregCustomersAreNotAllowed%22%20%2f%3e" ><actinic:variable name="SectionPageName" /></actinic:block><actinic:block if="%28%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22IsLoginPageSuppressed%22%20%2f%3e%20%3d%3d%20false%29%20OR%0d%28%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22UnregCustomersAreNotAllowed%22%20%2f%3e%20%3d%3d%20false%29" ><actinic:variable name="SectionURL" /></actinic:block>">
