Uploaded version different from offline preview

there is a variable called pagetype

<actinic:variable name="PageType" />

this tell you if it is a section, brouchure page etc. Don't know if that helps

thats because i use my own style sheet.

It looks like it is mostly fixed now, just need to modify some of the other image locations.

Fair enough, I only mentioned it because when I changed it to actinic.css in firebug styling was added to the page.

I can't see any difference to your site yet, have you uploaded?

EDIT: Just did a CTRL F5 and it looks much better.

One problem I am having now is when you search or when it otherwise uses the cgi-bin all the routes to images and what not point to the cgi-bin. it doesn't seem to be converting the links to direct urls and if i create the direct url in actinic it wont upload the image file it links to unless I then add it to design >> additional files.

is there some code im missing infront of the links for when its in cgi-bin?

Your site seems fine.
You should only need to specify the image file name itself without path (if it's in the Site folder). Are you manually making the links? If so why?

because actinic isn't automatically fixing them, it was fine so long as i wasnt running a page from the cgi-bin such as the search then actinic uploaded the file and in all the other pages sorted the files link correctly except when shown through cgi-bin

therefore if i link to an image in the sidebar via <img src="imagename.jpg" /> on all pages except the cgi-bin generated ones it shows fine. actinic changes it for the product pages to acatalog/imagename.jpg but not to ../acatalog/imagename.jpg when ran as cgi-bin script.

Go to design --> design options and make sure 'generate cgi templates' is ticked?

If not tick it and upload again

Looks like you have no Actinic BASEREF on your page. Try adding that.

already ticked... im quite happy in doing the links manually, it just seems silly that I have to do them because of a silly bug.

[Chunkford]

it's not a bug, i think Duncan has found the problem

just put this in the head

 <actinic:variable name="BaseHref" />

thankyou all a lot for your help, its all up and running now. Just need to get the payment portal sorted and the rest of the product images photographed and uploaded.

Three weeks to get this far isn't half bad for such a project with no prior experience of the software. Having thousands of products to photograph didn't help either
