I still have one major problem

we sell clothes, these clothes are divided into 4 major section which consist of many 2 piece outfits
when you click on a small image of one of these outfits it brings you into a subsecion which contains 3 sections the first is a lager picture of the outfit, the next a section for the top, and the third is for the bottems.

see http://www.funkybump.co.uk/acatalog/a1.html

its the first section that is the problem. all i really want is a picture. the only way i found to do this is by putting an emply section there.

is there any way i can disable the link on these sections or replace them with an image and not a section.

if this does not make sense please let me know but i think the link should explain this

thanks

You can use a fragment on the page and hard code the html to display your image (using the !!< >!! markers to tell actinic this is code not text).

[jont]

Just to take that further the code would be

!!<<img src="picture.jpg" alt="funky picture" />>!!

[wjcampbe]

wot - no alt text on an image

[jont]

fair point <hides head in shame>

[dgf]

thanks for the replys, i originally tried adding a fragment but this always went to the bottem of the page instead of on the same line.

[wjcampbe]

To get the fragment at the top, you have to select the location and layout of section links to be bottom

[dgf]

sorry for the delay in getting back but orders have started comming in.

any time i add a fragment it always appears on another line so to speak and not next to the other 2 small pictures. And i'm slightly lost on the coding side of things.
sorry to be a pain

[wjcampbe]

The (text only) fragment would have to be something like this to give you the big picture with some descriptive text alongside and the two section links below.

!!<<IMG src="http://www.funkybump.co.uk/acatalog/Picture-032.jpg" alt="whole" border="0" height="320" width="240" align="left" valign="middle" /><p>This is a wonderful combination for the newly pregnant mother who wants to share her joy with the World.</p><p>Click the links below to see larger images, make your choice of size, and buy now!</p>>!!

This presumes you set the section links to display at the bottom of the page (Layout tab - Location and Arrangement of Section List - click override and bottom.

Bill - you might want to change the code to !!<< not !!>< above if someone is going to copy and paste

Hi,

is there any way i can disable the link on these sections

Go to 'Advanced | Template Manager' and click the 'Section Tab' (click 'Change View' if you do not see the tabs). Then click on the 'Child Sections' button. Save this file under a new name and then locate:

<A HREF="NETQUOTEVAR:SECTIONLINK">NETQUOTEVAR:SECTIONIMAGE</A>

Change this line to look like:

<!--<A HREF="NETQUOTEVAR:SECTIONLINK">-->NETQUOTEVAR:SECTIONIMAGE<!--</A> -->

Then select this template for the 'Section Link Layout' for the sections where you don't want the image to be a link.
