Amend layout of navigation links in view cart page

[jodg]

Hi,
Am putting the finishing touches to my site.

On the cart page (Act_NavigationItem.html I believe), the navigation links now appear in the left column and some span lines. In effect, they look as if they've been "squashed up" whereas on all other pages they are in a horizontal bar.

Ideally, I'd like to have the horizontal bar layout if possible. If not, is it possible to format these links so that only one appears per line at least?

Regards,
Jan

Hi Jan,

Can I have a link to the site to see what you mean, else a screen grab of the offending page.

Kind regards,

Hello Bruce,
Yes, if you go to the "view cart" page on this test site:

http://littleherbalcompany.soon2b.ne...CTION=SHOWCART

you will see the navigation links in the left column.

Hi Jan,

It looks like you have tried entering NETQUOTEVAR:HEADERGUIDE to the Checkout Primary template. It does not work there. What you can do is to add in the individual links. If you haev the Advanced Users Guide, look on page 14 for the topic "Inserting Individual Navigation Buttons".

*********

There is a NETQUOTEVAR for each separate navigation button in the navigation bar. These can be used instead of the restrictive NETQUOTEVAR:HEADERGUIDE and NETQUOTEVAR:FOOTERGUIDE and they can be used in Act_Primary, Act_BrochurePrimary, Act_Header and Act_Footer.
These new placeholders use Act_NavigationItem.html as the template to place the navigation button correctly into the HTML.
To use them, simply place any of the following placeholders in the templates mentioned above.

Button Placeholder
Search button NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBSEARCH
Checkout button NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBCHECKOUT
Cart button NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBCART
Email button NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBMAIL
SiteMap button NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBSITEMAP
Info button NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBINFO
Up button NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBUP
Back button NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBBACK
Catalog button NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBCATALOG
Home button NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBHOME
Login Button NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBLOGIN

If you prefer, you can just use the URL of each navigation button as part of your own custom navigation control. To do this simply add the word 'LINK' onto the end of any of the above variables, and place them within an <a> tag. For instance:
<a href="NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBCARTLINK">. . .</a>
…will create a link to the shopping cart.

Many thanks Bruce for the very complete reply. Will put into practice some of what you suggest.
