Act_section_tree.js not generated; Trouble!

[lazyeye]

ok, actinic is really getting frustrating. I have the gun and am ready to pull the trigger on that thing.
The purpose is to display the 1st 2 levels of my categories, in my left column? The "Top Level Section List With Horizontal Dividers" displays only the 1st level. So I decided to use some custom javascript and inserted the All Data From All Sections variable followed by code based on what can be found in the aug. So, in theory, Act_section_tree.js should be generated and included, right? Duh, I THINK NOT! But why the hell not?

I need help on that one

sorry

well it appears that the file gets generated allright but my code does not execute... how weird

Without seeing what you've done (the bit of the layout that you've customised) and an URL of a generated page there's not a lot we can do from here.

Also a much better way to do this would be by using the Advanced v8 List Functionality from the Advanced Guide. Adapting Section List With Sub Sections In Bullets will get you close.

The advantage of this is that you'll be generating search engine friendly static HTML (and only that needed for the top 2 sections).

The JavaScript way will load a file containing every section (and a lot of other unused data) even though you only want to display the top 2 levels.

For testing javaScript use Firefox and it's Tools / Error Console.

where's my mind

Thanks Norman

The javascript works now. A forgotten semi colon was the cause of the malfunction.
