[webbyman]

Hi,

I am designing my site using dreamweaver and actinic themes.
How can i move the brochure page into dreamweaver please as i need to code this seperately for my index.html page.
I will need ti include the background image and all of the css.

Thanks.

Webby.

You can check which template you are using under Design | Options | Brochure and click edit next to "overall layout". Usually it is Act_BrochurePrimary.html

Always check you are editing the templates in the root of the site folder otherwise if in the PreviewHTML or SiteHTML folders Actinic will overwrite the next time you preview.

As usual take a copy of the file before starting.

Hi Jont,

Thank you for your reply.

How can i make the functions work such as search and the cart amount spent on the front page please?
I looked in the main help in the catalog but cannot find this.
I will need these functions to work when the index page is uploaded.

Webby.

If you are letting Actinic handle the homepage (the top icon in the content tree) all the scripts will function. If you are going to upload your own page via DW you are best previewing a page and then stripping out the generated codes to install into your own page. Remember that the homepage is the only Actinic handled page that sits in the root of the server - everything else is in the /acataog/ directory so watch out for path issues.

The Advanced User Guide also has some good tips for pages outside of the Actinic control - taking people directly to products etc.

Webbyman,

Check the brochure template to see if it has both the following lines of code

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

If it has only one and not the other, stick it in and the search and mini cart should work. There is an interesting workaround for the cart display, check it here http://community.actinic.com/showthread.php?t=19097

Kind regards,
