section variables on product page

[jxm28788]

I have copied the following code from ACT_ProductBody (displays a section)-

<A NAME="sectiontop">
<DIV ALIGN="CENTER"> 
NETQUOTEVAR:PARENTSECTIONSTOP 
</DIV>
<!-- NETQUOTEVAR:TOPLEVELSECTIONSTOP -->
NETQUOTEVAR:SECTIONLISTTOP 
NETQUOTEVAR:TOPSECTIONSEPARATOR 
NETQUOTEVAR:CARTERRORLISTXML 
</A>

and then pasted it in ACT_productLine (displays the product info), but when I view the product info instead of showing the sections at the top of the page it just displays the text 'NETQUOTEVAR:PARENTSECTIONSTOP
NETQUOTEVAR:SECTIONLISTTOP NETQUOTEVAR:TOPSECTIONSEPARATOR NETQUOTEVAR:CARTERRORLISTXML'

How do I get it to recognise these as variables, not text...?

Not all NETQUOTEVAR's work in all templates. The ones you are trying to use are only valid in Primary or ProductBody templates.

PS Why do you want to display this info on every product when it's already at the top and bottom of the page?

[jxm28788]

great, is there any way round that?

[NormanRouxel]

Exactly what is it you want to display on every product?

[jxm28788]

I want to have the sub sections displayed at the top of the product page to make navigation easier

[NormanRouxel]

Not sure what you mean.

Do you mean that for every page you want a list of the sub-sections of that page?

Alternatively do you mean you want the top-level list of sections displayed?

Something else?

An example and a link to an existing page might help.

ok, firstly I've ditched the yahoo nonsense in the left bar so it only displays the top level sections and no sub sections.

When I click on a section on the left (say "Ford") it displays all of the subsections like so -

Online catalogue > Ford

Mondeo Saloon
Mondeo Hatchback
Escort Saloon
Escort Hatchback
etc

If I then choose Escort saloon, for example, it then displays a product page for an escort saloon. But I want it to still display the sections above the standard product page, like so -

Online catalogue > Ford

Mondeo Saloon
Mondeo Hatchback
Escort Saloon
Escort Hatchback
etc
------------------------------
FORD ESCORT SALOON

Now I see. You want to display a list of the same-level sections above your present section.

This can't be done in Actinic with NETQUOTEVAR's.

I've done an add-on that allows this. Topic http://community.actinic.com/showthread.php?t=19520 mentions it. You'd have to contact me by email if interested as it's a paid for thing.
