    How do I remove the Sub sections from appearing in the Home Page "Store Section"

    Using smart design

    How do I stop sub sections from appearing in the "Store Section" on the home page

    I have so many sub sections it crowd's the list and makes it look messy

    Hi Chris,
    Just done this myself using the SMART theme. I followed the following instructions from the ever helpful Chris Dicken at Actinic.
    Hope this helps
    Regards
    Simon

    Go to 'Design | Options | Layouts' and click 'Edit' next to the 'Default Overall Layout' field.

    Look for where it says:
    Code:

    <script language=Javascript1.2> document.write(YahooSections(section_tree)) </script>

    and change 'section_tree' to 'sections'.

    Now go into the <head> section and locate

    <!--@act NETQUOTEVAR:SECTIONTREE_RAW -->

    change this to

    <!--@act NETQUOTEVAR:TOPLEVELSECTIONS_RAW -->

      Just noticed that these instructions are to acheive the result but in the catalog pages. To acheive the same result on the homepage you need to make the same adjustments but in Act_BrochurePrimary.

        Thanks, I have just used this info also to sort me out.....but is there any way of showing the subsections for only the section the customer is in, once they have clicked a toplevelsection link to go into that section?

            Simon, did you do your homepage or just your catalog pages?

              Hi Chris,

              Sorry, I have noticed that the code changes I made to Act_BrochurePrimary are slightly different. Locate the following piece of code (Line 132)

              <script language=Javascript1.2>
              document.write(YahooSections(section_tree))

              and change to:

              <script language=Javascript1.2>
              document.write(YahooSections(sections))

              This will then produced the required result in your home and brochure pages.
              All the best
              Simon

              P.S.
              I have adjusted home and brochure pages.

                Cannot remember who, but someone's got a Smart theme set up that expands the sub-sections when the section name in the list is clicked. Closes the sub-sections on reclick too. Always mean't to check that out...

                    Thanks for that Simon, another wee project lands on my ever increasing pile which suffocates my desk on a regular basis.

                      Hi George,
                      Can you tell me how you added the extra right and left hand 'boxes' with details of special products and how you add the hyperlinks and pictures to them? All I can find to edit is the text in DESIGN OPTIONS[SITE DEFAULTS.
                      I am trying to emulate your site in that respect, as it works so well for 'extra info' which I want to appear on all pages.
                      Cheers

                      I have Dreamweaver MX to edit html

                        Simon, I think this thread will describe it much better than I ever will...

                        http://community.actinic.com/showthr...=rightbartitle

                        Personally, I don't use the netquotevars, preferring html as I have different contents for the brochure pages and the catalog pages.

                        Most Smart theme tweaks can be found within the forum including one to squash the (side) boxes closer together. The default text size gets altered sometimes too...

                              I have adjusted home and brochure pages.

                              This doesn't seem to be working for me. I have no reference to TOPLEVELSECTIONS_RAW in the header which I think it is looking for?

                              I have done catalog page ok, but still trying to sort serach results page and cart/checkout page, which I assume both use the Act_BrochurePrimary template.

                              Any ideas

                              Cheers
