Display top level sections only in JS menu

[sgreenway]

I want to change my YahooSections menu so that it only displays the main sections and not the subsections. I have found this post on doing that :

http://community.actinic.com/showthread.php?t=14853

It says replace

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

The problem I have got is that I can't find
<!--@act NETQUOTEVAR:SECTIONTREE_RAW -->

I'm not sure if I'm looking in the wrong place for it. If anyone can point me in the right direction.

If you're using a Theme that uses the YahooSections code (which seems likely) then it should be in Act_Primary.html about 18 lines down from the top. E.g.

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" SRC="actiniccore.js" TYPE="text/javascript"></SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" SRC="actinicextras.js" TYPE="text/javascript"></SCRIPT>
<!--@act NETQUOTEVAR:SECTIONTREE_RAW -->

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" TYPE="text/javascript">
<!--
function YahooSections(ar)
{

Thanks Norman

Found it, I was looking in Act_BrouchurePrimary and not Act_Primary. I've done the changes and its work. However the subsections are still being displayed in brouchure pages(home page). What do I need to change in Act_BrouchurePrimary to stop this? It doesn't contain the <!--@act NETQUOTEVAR:SECTIONTREE_RAW --> line.

In Act_BrouchurePrimary look for the line

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" SRC="Act_section_tree.js" TYPE="text/javascript"></SCRIPT>

and change it to.

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" SRC="Act_sections.js" TYPE="text/javascript"></SCRIPT>

Its all working, Thanks

combining Act_sections.js with Norman's Collapsing menu

Hi,

on my site I have a collapsing menu on the left (from Norman) and I would like to have another menu in the center, showing only top sections.

Yet I have a problem : when I click on a section in the centre menu, the subsections appear in the left menu... (http://csstest.ictl.com/).

Any suggestion?

thanks

[NormanRouxel]

Ahhh. I see now. When you emailed me earlier you didn't explain what the problem actually was. I took a quick look and assumed you were't happy with the single column layout.

The collapso menu uses a routine called YahooSections (this allows it to replace the existing Actinic one). You have to copy the modified top-level only YahooSections JavaScript into your Act_Primary but give the function a different name e.g.

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" TYPE="text/javascript">
<!--
function YahooSections(ar)

becomes

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" TYPE="text/javascript">
<!--
function TopSections(ar)

and call that routine instead of YahooSections.

Hi Norman,
It solved the problem but now all the subsections appear in the center menu...
Something I did wrong???

[NormanRouxel]

You need to modify this JavaScript to only show top-level sections. There are posts on the Forum about this.

Hi,

I found my answer in another post indeed : I had to replace the fragment

document.write(YahooSections(section_tree))

in my center menu with

document.write(YahooSections(sections))

Cheers.

I currently use the Smart template and would also like to show only the main sections in the left hand column, however, after trying the suggestions here, all of my left-hand side link vanish. I can only seem to get links two levels deep or none at all. Any ideas anyone?

Done and done, thanks Norman.

New query, linked to this thread I think

Many months ago I used info from the forum to show only top level sections in my Smart Theme left panel, both on the Home Page & the Store Pages, but never got around to fixing the same issue at the Check-Out. I'm trying to fix this now, but the info. I find today does not ring any bells.

However, applying what I have learnt today, the above code does appear in Act_Primary & Act_Brochure.

My problem is that I have now applied the same change to Act_PrimaryCheckout but the menu is spaced apart by a line.

The website is at www.rainbowfloristsupplies.co.uk

This gives you the Home page, panel correct.
Enter the store, panel correct.
Find a product, panel correct.
Add a product to order, incorrect.
Checkout now, incorrect.

Looking forward to your help, it's bound to be simple!

Edit: looking at this thread, I see that the website linked in post #13 has the same problem.

Paul,

You are not using the same YahooSections code in the Cart and Checkout template as in Act_Primary. Look in Design / Options / Layouts / Primary Templates and use this

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" TYPE="text/javascript">
<!--
function YahooSections(ar)
{
var strIDs = '';
for (var i=1;i<=ar.length;i++)
	{
	if (ar[i].sURL != null)
		{
		strIDs += '<a href="' + ar[i].sURL + '"><span class="actxxsmall"><b><font color="#3a3a3a">' + ar[i].sName + '</font></b></span></a><br>';
		}
	}
return strIDs
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>
