Section Link Layout - Invisable??? Is this possible?

[paulbeckett]

Hi. I have had an idea and would appreciate opinion and guidance on it.

Using a posting in Actinic v6 Support and the AUG I have created 3 x Primary Template with Next Prev links. See Robert Charles example with the next link in the top right.

To create a second page (e.g. Robert Charles Page 2) I have created a new section containing sub-sections (each subsection contains 1 product). The new section is at the same level as the first in terms of structure.

The user is oblivious to this on the left hand nav as it is hard coded. Therefore they only see one link for Robert Charles.

However using the sitemap or breadcrumb trail it is possible for the user to click on By Designer. By doing so they can now see two section links for Robert Charles (page 1 and page 2). I only want them to see 1 section link (and then the next and previous links on that page to get to following pages).

Is it feasible for me to create a section link layout tempate which will make the second page invisible on the By by designer page?

This invisible section link layout would need to sit next to my "Centered image with text underneath".

Any advice would be appreciated!

Thanks

Paul

Hi Nadeem

Sorry not the clearest question I have ever submitted.

I have a top level section called robert charles - and in order to have multiple pages I have created a second section called robert charles page 2. Then using a forum discussion regarding next and prev link I have created Act_PrimaryNoPrevious etc to control which sections have the links.

However my By Designer page now contains Robert Charles and Robert Charles page 2 section links. See example here with robert charles logo and then another link next to it for the Robert charles second page I only want it to display the first section link - and hide the second. Is there any way of hiding this section link?

At the moment all my section links use section link layout tempate : Centered image with text underneath (from the AUG).

I presume I need to create a new section link layout that hides the image and the text?

I hope this is clear?

Thanks. Okay - so I have created a new template called Act_SectionLineInvisable.html which I can use on sections I do not wish the user to see (e.g. the page 2). This was just a simple case of removing the NETQUOTEVAR:SECTIONIMAGE - however my problem is that there are gaps on the page - see example link. Notice after the robert charles and robin king london logos there are white gaps.

I can't figure out if it is possible to remove these gaps.

Many thanks

Try rearranging your sections so the ones without images are at the bottom of the catalog tree.

Thanks. Thats a good idea - although I just realised that if I did that my site map would be out of order.

Im not sure if this is going to be possible because at the moment becuase there is not much else I can do with my Act_SectionLineInvisable.html:

<!-- SectionLine HTML begin -->
<!-- Insert HTML for the beginning of a section title -->

<DIV ALIGN="CENTER">

<TABLE BORDER="0" CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="7">

<TR>

<TD>

</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>
</TD>

</TR>

</TABLE>

</DIV>
NETQUOTEVAR:NEXT
<!-- Insert HTML for the end of a section title -->
<!-- SectionLine HTML end -->
