    ChildSectionList

    Hi All,

    I'm having a devil of a time with my navigation set up. The problem is that the Extended Info page needs to keep the subsection menu on the left hand side. The TopLevelList remains in place but the section links disappear.

    http://community.actinic.com/showthread.php?t=25154

    I've searched and noticed someone else was having a similar problem (above) and the suggestion was to get rid of a section further up the tree, but our site is pretty big (2000 products to go in) and needs to have several levels in the hierachy.

    My tree goes :e.g.

    By Brand : REN > Face > Cleansers > REN Rosa Centifolia Facial Wash 150ml

    If I could keep the same navigation as "Cleansers" on the Extended Info page it would be perfect. Is this possible or do I have to throw the towel in?

    I've found a reference to the Child Section List which looks like it might be useful to me in the Advanced User Guide Doc but I don't seem to have it in my copy of Actinic (version 8). When I use it in my design it says it can't be found ... is it something I have to create myself?

    Any help on this would be great.

    Thanks in advance,

    Amy

    Hi Amy,

    This is possible.

    First check what layout you use for your 'Extended Info' pages, then go to ' Design | Library | Layouts | Extended Info Layout' click on the + to expand and double click on the layout you are using.

    In the resulting code, scroll down to line 15 or thereabouts and you should see
    <body>
    <table border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0">
    Right after this insert a line and then right click and select 'Insert Layout', scroll to reach 'ParentSectionListBottom', click on it and then click on 'Insert'. Apply then 'OK'. Update your site and on the Extended info page you should see the breadcrumb trail .. REN > Face > Cleansers > REN Rosa Centifolia Facial Wash 150ml

    Kind regards,

      Thanks Bruce.

      Thanks Bruce,

      I do already use the Breadcrumb trail, just feel that the pages lower in the tree need a left hand navigation, otherwise I worry that the customer will feel stranded.

      Anyway I think it looks like we'll have to get some developers to maybe write us something.

      Thank you for your time though, I appreciate your reply. :-)

      Kindest regards,

      Amy
