Changing the position of a section link image

[JulesRS]

Hi,

I have searched on the forum and can't seem to find an answer to this one.

In one of my sections I am using a 'Section Link layout' of 'Image Above Section Link'.

I have 'Column Count For First Row Of Section Lists' and 'Column Count For Section Lists' set to 1 as I only have one section link listed. The section link image is currently aligned to the left. What I would like to do is align this image to the centre of the page. Can anybody point me in the right direction please?

Thanks

ok..I'll do my best to talk it through! (I'm not very techy so excuse the lingo lol)

you need to find the layout you're using for your section.
highlight the parent section in the tree (the one with the single section inside it..hope that makes sense) and find out which "section link layout" you're using in the "layout" tab

Go to design>layout and locate that layout (I keep wanting to say "template" LOL)

near the top, just below the actinic.css bit..there should be a line saying

<DIV ALIGN="left">

change the "left" to "center"...apply and ok

Hopefully, that will do it (I just tried it and it did...so fingers crossed)

Hi Tracey,

Thanks for your response. The section link layout I am using is 'Image Above Section Link'. I did have a look at this before and have checked it again but there is no reference to <DIV ALIGN="left">. This is what I can see and everything is aligned to center so I can't understand why it displays on the left.

<table cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" border="0">
   <tr>
      <td align="center">
         <a href="<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>" target="_self">
            <img alt="<actinic:variable name="SectionName"/>" src="<actinic:variable Name="SectionImageFileName"/>" border="0" />
         </a>
      </td>
   </tr>
   <tr>
      <td align="center">
         <strong><a href="<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>" target="_self"><actinic:variable name='SectionName'/></a></strong><br />
         <actinic:variable name='SectionDescription'/>
         <br/>
         <br/>
      </td>
   </tr>
</table>

Maybe I am looking in the wrong place as you mentioned the 'actinic.css bit' but I can't see this?

You need to centralise the actual layout you have shown .... navigate up to its parent layout (the yellow swirly icon) and wrap that layout (it will be pink) between <div align="center"> ..layout ... </div>

[TraceyHand]

ahh....sorry. All of my sections and subsections use the same layout so, when I changed one, it changed them all...when it should have been the parent section that needed changing (which, on my site, is the same layout)

Live and learn, eh?
Apologies

Jont,

That's great, thanks! I didn't think to do that..I had been looking for a left alignment div tag. The section link default is obviously set to the left.

Thanks to you too Tracey for taking the time to respond.

Cheers

If you use DW why not just select the section you are wishing to edit and then click on edit in dreamweaver.

You can then set about the layout as you wish.

If you do not use DW...why not (kidding of course), you can always select the section you wish to edit, copy the layout code and paste it into your editor.

Hi!

Yes, indeed I do use DW! Why didn't I think of that?! I think I have been spending too much time on Actinic that I can't see what's right under my own nose anymore!
