Linking to Product section from a fragment

[heavenlygirl]

This is driving me up the wall

I have created a new fragment on my home page to promote a weekly special offer - for the link I selected section and clicked on my newly created Weekly deal section.
However, upon applying it seems the select the catagory above , below anything other than the product section that I want. I have done this many times always the same result.

Any suggestions or is this one of those special feature of Actinic?

Actinic Catalog V9.01
OS Windows Vista Ultimate SP1

When I click "Click her [sic] for more details" under "A new special offer every week" I get taken to a Christmas 2008 section. Was this your intention? Perhaps you need to hardcode the link.

It all seems to work for me otherwise, although if I were you I would check some of your spellings - nothing annoys me more than schoolboy/girl spelling mistakes and typos on e-commerce sites.

Heather,

Are you certain you have selected the correct Section in the Link area of the Fragment?

I only ask, because according to Firebug the link is re-directing here:

href="http://www.craftyaddicts.co.uk/cgi-bin/ss000001.pl?SECTIONID=Christmas%5f2008%2ehtml&NOLOGIN=1"

Note the "SectionID=" part of the code

My intention was to link to the section call pick of the week that is what is selected in the link selection. But when I save the chnages it reverts back to the secion above or below


Thanks DenbighArmySurp I do tend to find HTML usage a bit hit and miss in Actinic. I do find it fustrating as this product does not seem to function as advertised. or is it just me?


My other half will give it a go - thanks

I had the same prob there is a bug - if you select the one beneath that again it selects the one above - this is a workaround

Are you sure the one in question isn't hidden or alike? If not, try creating a new one and linking to that, if it works, reset up the problem section, something on it has probably corrupted.

[heavenlygirl]

no the section functions correctly on the published web site it is listed as an option to select when I do move to a diff section

From the fragment I have created I select link enable it the select the section radio button - from the drop down I select pick of the week - upon applying the setting it has applied christmas 2008.

Will apporach support for an answer

Bizarrely this has just happened to me

I've just set up a "Guides" Brochure page with 2 Fragments:

1. On-line Guides
2. Military GORE-TEX on the Internet

I have them linking to a Section, using the [LINK] facility within Actinic, but the second Fragment was defaulting to the Section below in the dropdown list.

I couldn't spot anything obvious and don't recall doing anything out of the ordinary, but it happened (Onest Gv'nor).

I deleted the Fragment and created a new one, right click "New Fragment" in the Content Tree and viola, works fine now!

P.S. I'm using V9.01

Thats weird - I too deleted the section and it worked fine - the only thing I can think off is the access db is registering the new section - ah well at least it works now
