home page navigation

[bazsmith]

Hello, newbie here,
I am having similar problems too my site as this thread http://community.actinic.com/showthread.php?t=38391

i rectified the main home button link, as this was linking to "../acatalog/index"
my problem also is the left hand navigation "home" link is linking to "../acatalog/index" - this is also stripping the page of its css styling
I have tried all solutions to the above with no avail, i even copied the root "index.html" file into the "acatalog/" folder again no effect,
my site is as follows so you may see also www.cp-printgenie.co.uk
the site is not live yet as i am still building, this is just one of them things that is bugging me, why can you not just selct the button image in design view and apply the appropriate link to it, similar to how you would in dreamweaver,
all help will be greatly appreaciated

thanks

Hi,

Do you have 'use as website homepage' ticked on the 'general' tab of your home page details? Also, what do you have selected for 'Design | Design Options | Home Page Link'?

Hi TraceyG, thanks for the reply
yes i have the 'use as website homepage' ticked on the 'general' tab of your home page details and in the design | design options | home page link, i have brochure at the moment, i have tried 'none' and as a url i have used various - '/index.html' / "www.cp-printgenie.co.uk/index.html" and just "www.cp-printgenie.co.uk" but still the home tab looks for ../acatalog/index, the main top nav links fine, I am not fussed to have this link in use, if it is the easier option i would remove it, as it is lways on the top nav bar.
I have a screengrab for you to look at:http://www.cp-printgenie.co.uk/screengrab.jpg

thanks

Hi Barry,

I've tried everything I can think of that might affect that link but I just can't recreate it. I think that support would require a snapshot to investigate it further for you. However, if you want to remove the 'home' link from the left-hand navigation then, on the 'Design' tab, click on the link in the preview pane and it should show the 'Simple Brochure Page Link' layout in the layout code window. Replace the code with:

<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22BrochureName%22%20%2f%3e%20%21%3d%20%22Home%22" >
	<a href="<actinic:variable name="BrochurePageURL" />" class="product_section"><actinic:variable name="BrochureName" /></a>
</actinic:block>

and Apply it and the home link will be removed.
