Can I make a section without it generating a html page?

[ShinyHappySimon]

Hello, just a quick one.

I have my site set up for single product per page. (product in sections)

To divide up larger pages full of these products within sections, I have used a customized section as a separator.

These customized sections don't have any content in them, is there anyway I can stop a html page being generated for each one?

Not quite sure what you are attempting here or why. There may be a better way to achieve this rather than using sections e.g. fragments, some embedded PHP etc.
If you give us more information then we might be able to help further.

No - not that I am aware of.

Just for dividing up a page of products (sections). Thusly > Lots of Magnum police boots

But I don't people stumbling into the empty sections that this creates.

Fragments just appear at the top or bottom, I need to be able to put them inbetween.

I hope this makes sense

You could create a section level user defined variable which was set at the very bottom of your normal section layout.
This variable would only be set to contain text, and defined as being empty by default.

Then for any section that you wanted to immediately proceed the "break" in the page you can simply insert:

<div class="sectiondivider">Magnum Stealth Force Series</div>

into the variable box, thereby getting it to display on the page.

Your CSS would take care of the rest from what I can see on the page.

Just one way without sections - I am sure there are others.

AFAIK Actinic will always create a page.

- You could delete the pages that's going to be too much work. And anyone who would have found the page will get a 404 error instead.
- You could tick the 'hide on website' and then break the hide code so that the separator is still shown but that could be messy.

Personally I wouldn't worry about it too much. If you make sure the 'include in sitemap' is unticked then there should be no links to the page. You can always put a fragment on it to say 'This page is just for separating section. There's no user content here' then anyone who finds the page will understand and follow the links to somewhere useful.

Thanks folks, I had a feeling that it wouldn't be possible the way I was approaching it.

I like your thinking Fergus, I reckon that method would do the trick nicely.

Thanks again!
