Section Image on subsection page

[jmedinger]

I'm trying to create a design for a customer which auto displays a section icon on a relevent subsection page

eg

Section 1
-- subsection 1a
-- subsection 1b

Section 2
-- subsection 2a
-- subsection 2b

normally actinic generates all the primary section images to put onto the '/acatalog' page

What I want to do is place a NQV (if poss) on subsection 1a and 2a and so on that will call the section image that is relevent for Primary Section 1 or 2 etc (it doesn't have to link to anything - it's just a reminder of the brand that they've drilled down into)

If anyone has any suggestions on how to do this that would be great!

Cheers

You can use a customvar to put the image in the section.

Create CUSTOMVAR:MYSECTIONIMAGE set this in the section properties and add the CUSTOMVAR to your primary template

I thought that might be the case

I'll try it out and if I run into problems, I'll let you know!

Hi Gary

I've coded it in where I want however I'm getting an error that I'm not sure what to do with.

In the section 'Properties' settings I've specified the new CUSTOMVAR and told it that it's a file and to use the file contents - and what ends up filling the space when viewed is 'GIF89ad'

Now I'm assuming that this means that

1) the CUSTOMVAR is correct as it is outputting a value (If I leave it as just text - that gets included fine)

2) Actinic isn't reading the image call correctly - atm I've simply put the name of the image into the Properties' Value (I'm sure I shouldn't have to put the HTML in there - eg. <img src=".... etc)

If you can offer any further tips?

you need

<IMG SRC="CUSTOMVAR:customvarname">

within the template to display the image
