Template Manager troubles

[colinb]

I'm trying to find the template which controls the positioning of the standard navigation buttons. When I try to use the Template Manager I get this error message:

The system is out memory or resources and is unable to edit the template.
Please close some programs and try again.

This is even with no other programs running. As soon as I import a snapshot of my site this problem is caused. I don't think my computer is really out of resources or memory.

check the program that you are using to edit your templates with, to do this change your template manager to the traditional view (Blue and grey dialog rather than full colour images), you should see an editor button, click on this and see what you have set in there, if it looks OK, take a copy of what is there and try setting it to

notepad %s

make sure that you have the %s part of the string in your current settings.

Thanks you for this, I tried changing it as you said and it fixed my problem. I'm still not sure how to insert individual buttons though. What I ideally want to do is put View Cart and Checkout in a box in the top right hand corner along with Ordered and Cart Value which are already there. Any help would be much appreciated.

Sadly I can't help with that one, but I am sure that a designer will be along shortly to help you out.

Hi, what template are you using??

I think you are using the smart theme. If you open your primary template, find the following table and insert the second table row that you are missing from the inner table.... tables, you gotta luv em..

      <table width="150" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" >
        <tr> 
          <td height="22" bgcolor="NETQUOTEVAR:PALCOLOR2CSS" background="tab_pal2.gif" class="actsmallheading"><b>&nbsp;&nbsp;CART DETAILS</b></td>
        </tr>
        <tr> 
          <td class="thinred2"><br>
             <table width="100" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center">
              <tr> 
                <td> <div align="left"><span class="actxxsmall"> 
                    <script language="JavaScript">
						document.write("NETQUOTEVAR:CARTCOOKIEITEMS&nbsp;" + getCartItem(3)+"&nbsp;<BR>");
						document.write("NETQUOTEVAR:CARTCOOKIEVALUE&nbsp;" + getCartItem(1));
					</script>
                    </span> </div>
                </td>
              </tr>
	      <tr>
		<td align='center'><p align='center'><a href='../cgi-bin/ca000000.pl?ACTION=SHOWCART'>basket</a> | <a href='../cgi-bin/os000000.pl?ACTION=Start'>checkout</a></p></td>
              </tr>
            </table><br>
          </td>
        </tr>
      </table>

Hope this helps,

Steve

I'm using Clean Layout03 and I still can't find which templates control the button positions and order. The template manager is now working but it does not tell me which template actually controls this, just that the buttons come from NETQUOTEVAR:FOOTERGUIDE.

Hi Colin

"NETQUOTEVAR:FOOTERGUIDE" brings in "Act_NavigationItem.html". This template displays one navigation button. The order of the button is actually controlled by Actinic via "Design | Option | Navigation". There is no way you could change this. What you could do is remove "NETQUOTEVAR:FOOTERGUIDE" and place the images for the navigation within the primary template.
Once you have done that, you could provide the NETQUOTEVAR variables links in the href link of the image.
Eg for a search button, you could have in the href link "NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBSEARCHLINK"

Kind Regards
