Inserting extra Nag buttins/text

[Doc]

Hi All
I tried to insert a sitemap in act_primary.html based on what is written in the advanced guide..but it messed up all the graphics lines on the page and so i had to take it off. basically the advanced guide says:

There is a NETQUOTEVAR for each separate navigation button in the navigation bar. These can
be used instead of the restrictive NETQUOTEVAR:HEADERGUIDE
then it goes on to say how you can insert
NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBSEARCH for search
NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBSITEMAP for site map etc
But it is not that easy..inserting these single items messes up my onpage graphics...the lines across the page end up cut in the middle of the page..

has anyone attempted to write their own navigation bar? Would appreciate some example code..

cheers

Same Problem, need to add menu items - pls

Hi Guys

I have a similar problem, being an actinic noob, I'm floundering a bit abd found your post and the reply with code.

The problem I have is, its the wrong style and it works differently than the theme link/button.

I assume theres a def file somewhere with the navigation links in, can't we add any new defs in the same file so its implemented the same way at run time?

Sorry if thats silly!!

Apprectiate any help please

Look at what you have in the navigation tab on Design | Options.

Look at what you have in the navigation tab on Design | Options.

Yes I have looked, I'm sorry I must be being thick, I dont see how that helps me really.

Are you suggesting I hijack one - thats ok, but how do I get it to point to the page I want it to after? I would have thought there would have been an add menu item in that section.

Where do I go for help now?

Regards
Jerry

Take a look at he Advanced User Guide, specifically the netquotevar dictionary at the end.

You will find all the navigation NQVs listed there.

As in my example code above, you use something like

<a href="NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBHOMELINK">Home</a>

for each link you require in your menu.

Taking care to remove the current NQV, which depending on the theme you are using could be the nqvfooterguide or similar
