    NAVB Links

    I am in serious danger of monopolising these forums!

    I have included some navigation links within a fragment on the home page. Example of coding:
    !!<<b><a href="NAVBHOMELINK">[Home]</a></b>>!!

    When I preview in the browser and click on the links, IE reports "Page not found" and the path given is C:\Program Files\Actinic v7\Sites\Site1\PreviewHTML\NAVBHOMELINK.

    I tried inserting into Act_BrochurePrimary (omitting !<<>>!) but obtained the same result.

    Can someone please tell me why? Also I need to link from a graphic on the homepage to the main product page, I tried using shop.html but to no avail. What is the correct path there? I can link to individually section pages within the shop with no problems, just not the main shop page.

    Many thanks in advance.

    Kind regards
    Karen

    I dont think NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBSITEMAPLINK will work in the brouchure pages.

    The default catalog link is

    http://www.yourdomain.com/acatalog/index.html

      Hi,

      These variables are only available for use within the brochure primary template and not in fragments. The reason that your link did not work in your primary template is that you should only put in:

      NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBHOME

      to get the text link (it will take the text from 'Design | Options | Navigation')

      If you want to use an image then you would use:

      <a href="NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBHOMELINK"><IMG SRC="......."></a>

      Take a look at 'Help | Help Topics | Content tab | Design Options | The 'Navigation' Tab – Controlling The Navigation Bar for more information.

      Also I need to link from a graphic on the homepage to the main product page, I tried using shop.html but to no avail.
      This depends on your 'base page name' (Design | Options | Site Defaults).

      If you are having problems getting the link right by just putting in the page name then there could be a problem with your base href. Check in your brochure primary template that you have:

      <Actinic:BASEHREF VALUE="NETQUOTEVAR:BASEHREF" FORCED=NETQUOTEVAR:BASEHREFFORCED/>

      between the <HEAD> and </HEAD> tags. If you do have this then try:

      <a href="http://yourdomain.co.uk/acatalog/shop.html"><img src="imagename.gif"></a<

      replace shop.html with whatever your base page name is.

      I hope this helps.
