Problem is that the sectionimage is not accessible at the product level, as that is effectively a level above where you are at in the content tree, and whilst you are now on single product per page, a section can have more than one product in it.

Maybe use the thumbnail image ability at the product level and populate it with the same image filename that is used for the section that contains it, then this will be accessible to you at that level for inclusion in the lists, or create a new variable, available at the product level and use that.

Excellnt, I have used the thumbnails, as you suggestd & changed the code to ProductThumbNailImage - thank you for your help.

Kind regards Heather

Sorry, I have another quick query, do you know how I can make it so that our site appears static in the middle of the screen like http://www.outdoorworlddirect.co.uk/

at the moment our logo stays to the left but the rest of the site expands with the screen, this layout looks very clumsy and I was wondering if there was a simple way to get it to appear like outdoorworlddirect.co.uk

If you have any suggestions that would be great.

You would need to change the width of the overall design and then ensure your internal layouts do not exceed the pixels for left, centre and right columns, which looks like the central does already, so not an easy fix on the forum I am afraid..

Have a look at your widths, as think you are on a 100% width, so maybe change to 98% to start with and see how this pans out, but is down to the theme in use to be honest

Oh ok, what a pain, I have tried to change to theme before but it just puts everything out of sync and I'm not a designer so I haven't been able to work round it

I will try change everything to 98% as you suggest.

Another issue I have is inserting the cost of each item under the heading for each product, s demonstrated on http://www.outdoorworlddirect.co.uk/ at the moment I just have the product name http://www.snookerdirect.co.uk/acata...oker_Cues.html do you know how I can add the price so that it is displayed underneath & do you know a quick way of doing this? Also, how do I put product names for the product sections so that they appear below the image, rather than to the right?

For each desire you have, would suggest a search of the forum first of all, with most of your needs being layout based, so a search on layouts for sections and the like might help you and if not, then post new threads on the unique issue is the best way to see if anyone can help.

With regards to the price being shown at the section level. Most sites manually enter the Price for the product which is contained within the section manually, i.e. you add it as the text description for that section. There is a means for it to be done automatically, so that sections which contain a single product (thus product and section are named the same), but that is custom programmed per site need.

All the best with the widths issue.

[QUOTE=snooker direct;284656]how do I go about doing this ?QUOTE]

You need to be able to work in the layouts of Actinic to insert content dynamically, get actinic to create the content to be added dynamically and work with section lists and product lists.

Sorry - I use this in my sites I build - and I write for each site uniquely each time, so beyond scope on here sorry...

Take a look at http://www.toysandgifts.co.uk/ which uses this feature along with product duplicates without actual product duplicates as to what can be achieved, but as I say, beyond what I can provide on the forum.

Easiest route is to add to each section description.

**snooker direct** · 28-Sep-2009, 03:20 PM

Think I'll go the easier route as you suggested, the other sounds a lot more complicated to me! :-S

If I wanted to have our site slightly redesigned into more of a format such as http://www.toysandgifts.co.uk/[/ is this something you can do and do you know how much roughly this would cost?

**snooker direct** · 28-Sep-2009, 03:46 PM

Hi, I'm sorry to bother you again but I have just altered a few widths on the site as you afvised and gone to refresh and publish site and it is now coming up with the following error whenever you go onto the products or sections:

A General Script Error Occurred

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Error: There was a problem with some information in the online shop so we cannot take your order. Please contact the shop owner with this information so that they can rectify the problem. Details: The version number (26) of one of your uploaded data files (Setup blob) is incompatible with the existing script version (27). Solution: Refresh the site.

Do you know what the problem is?

As per the above post you are best to start new threads after searching for existing... you are now in danger of confusing yourself further due to several requirements in the same thread

Thanks joint - I have checked out this code - do you have any idea whereabouts in the section layout code I insert it? I have read through the form and can find no mention of this. many thanks

I have managed to sort it - wow what a time saver! Thank you! :-)

Apols - my original response was based on wanting to duplicate what the other site was showing on the home page within your sections, i.e. price and descrptions etc, but that said, was not aware of this easy hack for the price, so learn something new every day - sweet.
