Top Level Sections on Brochure pages

[houndour]

Hi,

I want to display a menu of the categories on all my pages. I've tried using NETQUOTEVAR:TOPLEVELSECTIONSTOP on Act_brochurePrimary.html but it doesn't work. Is there a way round this or am I just doing it wrong?

Hi Sam

This variable will work fine in 7.0.2 (due shortly). In the mean time, you have use a section list included with JavaScript.

Please this code in your page headers just under where it says <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" SRC="actinicextras.js" TYPE="text/javascript"></SCRIPT>:

<!--@act NETQUOTEVAR:TOPLEVELSECTIONS_RAW -->

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" TYPE="text/javascript">
<!--
function SectionList(ar)
	{
	var strIDs = '<table border=0 width=100%>'
  	for (var i=1;i<=ar.length;i++)
  		{
		if (ar[i].sURL !=null)
			{
			strIDs += '<tr><td><a href="' + ar[i].sURL + '"><span class="actxxsmall">' + ar[i].sName + '</span></a></td></tr>'
			}
  		}
	strIDs+='</table>'
  	return strIDs
  	}
//-->
</SCRIPT>

and then this code in the main body of the page where you want the list to appear:

<script language=Javascript1.1>document.write(SectionList(sections))</script>

Thats great news Chris. What else will be in there?

The biggest new feature is the addition of 'Enhanced FTP' for v7 which we think will resolve a lot of the ongoing upload problems people are experiencing. There are a few other bug fixes like the problem with Actinic not allowing hyphens in section names, and forcing hyphens in attribute names.
