Nortree outside of Acinic store pages

[markgardner]

Firstly - Nortree - what an absolutely cracking piece of software/script.

My site will have a lot of pages which are outside of Actinic but I would like to display the Nortree menu as a 'One click section locator' from all of these pages.

Is it possible to use the Nortree menu script in this way? If so can someone advise what needs to be included on these pages.

Cheers

It's already in the ReadMe. Just look for the bit about NorTree on Brochure Pages and the following para re "Non Catalog created pages".

Sorry, i missed that. But having tried it i get an error:

Line: 46
Char: 2
Error: Object required
Code: 0
URL :http://trials.actinic.com/trials/trial7675/test.htm

Any ideas?

You've left out some code that isn't available outside Actinic pages.

i.e.

<!--   start of optional speed up fragment - redefining actiniccore.js's CreateArray to skip creating unused entries -->
<script type='text/javascript'>           
function CreateArray(n)
	{
	this.length = n;
	for (var i=1; i <= n; i++) this[i] = new Object();
	return this;
	}
</script>
<!--   end of optional speed up fragment -->

Still the same, with or without.

I really hope i can sort this so any ideas greatly appreciated.

Now sorted, not sure why/how just copy and pasted the script text again and works.

Thanks for a great script.

Great! A note for anyone else listening. If you're debugging pages with JavaScript problems, then don't bother with Internet Explorer's useless and frustrating error messages.

View the pages with the open-source Mozilla browser (www.mozilla.org - or on the cover CD of most computer magazines).

This has a great javaScript debugger that you open via Tools / Web Development / JavaScript Console. If an error show there, double-clicking the error message takes you to an excellent source code view with the error highlighted.

PS Also on www.drillpine.biz/forums/ (under the NorCascade topic) there are some posts about extending the menu to include navigation to other parts of your site. This should work with NorTree as well.

Extending it to navigate to other parts of the site would be great. I will have a look.
