Menu links on login page

[rjcuser]

When on the login page, I have lost use of the seperate menu links. I presume this is correct?? If it is, how do I loose the links so that people can't see them, and the only option they have is to go back?

Do you have a URL to demonstrate the issue you are having, and whether you have custom build your primary nav menu or is it auto from Actinic in a whole list of nav items?

[rjcuser]

It's (removed due to appearing on SE) and yes it is a custom built menu top right. Thanks.

I've also lost the Simple Search on this page as well.

Richard,

Have you managed to get this fixed? It works perfectly fine in IE and Opera but breaks in FireFox.

Kind regards,

Thats odd as I get 'directory listing denied' on all three browsers.

Just to check that I have explained myself properly; when you go to the login page via the link top right, and then want to link to another page top right, they just come back with 'directory listing denied'. Thanks.

Cheers

Richard,

Can see what you mean now. Since this is a custom nav, you will have to copy the nav from your Primary template to the search layout template. The reason for the error is because the blank href value will automatically take the value from the BASEHREF which is "<Actinic:BASEHREF VALUE="http://shop.smarterproducts.co.uk/acatalog/"/>"

This is the source code on the Login page

<td width="300" align="right" id="actinic"><p>
<a href="">My Shop Account </a> |
<a href="">Trading Information<br>
<a href="">Contact Shop </a> |
<a href="">Advanced Search </a> |
<a href="">Site Map</a><br>
<a href="">View Basket</a> |
<a href="">Checkout</a></p></td>

This is from one of the other pages on the site

<td width="300" align="right" id="actinic"><p>
<a href="http://shop.smarterproducts.co.uk/cgi-bin/ss000001.pl?SECTIONID=copy_of_firestop.html">My Shop Account </a> |
<a href="info.html">Trading Information<br>
<a href="http://shop.smarterproducts.co.uk/cgi-bin/mf000001.pl?ACTION=SHOWFORM">Contact Shop </a> |
<a href="search.html">Advanced Search </a> |
<a href="sitemap.html">Site Map</a><br>
<a href="http://shop.smarterproducts.co.uk/cgi-bin/ca000001.pl?ACTION=SHOWCART">View Basket</a> |
<a href="http://shop.smarterproducts.co.uk/cgi-bin/os000001.pl?ACTION=Start">Checkout</a></p></td>

Go to Design | Options | Layouts and click edit against 'Login Page Layout', now you will have to enter the URL's for the custom nav to enable it to work, or simply copy and past the second set of code from above to replace teh existing code on that page.

Kind regards,

[rjcuser]

Thanks, much appreciated.

I notice that the smart theme has the menu removed when you go to the log in page. How would I assign a different primary tempalte to this page only, so that I could remove the othe rmenu items rather than do the above?

Cheers

Design | Options | Layouts | Login Page Layout:, use the 'select' button to choose an alternate layout for that page.

Kind regards,

Arh, yes, thanks, that was a pathetic question. Sorry, should of had brain in gear!

I assume that you have tried to use NQVs such as NAVBHOMELINK etc. and Actinic is not correctly substituting the correct URLs - but only on a couple of pages, including the login page. I have EXACTLY the same problem.

Are we talking about an oversight/bug in actinic, and an associated workaround? it seems that the login page SHOULD work like the others. In my experience, the search results page as well as the login page are rendered reasonably useless as far as navigation is concerned. I recently submitted a support request about this issue and am expecting a reply shortly.

I have applied my primary template to my login page. Surely it should work?

Hi David,

Have you heard back from support as yet on the issue?

Kind regards,

[jubbbird]

Unfortunately I haven't yet - and I'm getting a little anxious because I told my client that I would likely have the site finished and ready to rumble within the next two weeks, as of about a week ago :/

They have made contact with me over the last couple of days (two of them) saying that they were sorry for the delay and they would be back to me shortly, so I'm hoping they are actually working on the issue and will come back to me with something substantial.

To recap though, am I correct that somethings not quite right? You said above that using a specific template designed individually for the login page would sort the problem, but I simply can't see any logical reason why my assigned Act_primary.html template isn't good enough, especially considering that it works on all the other pages...

I would also like to emphasis that I have found the same problem with the search results page, and can now confirm that it is the case whether you use simple or normal search.

Unfortunately the version thats online right now does not have my latest fix for product categories (top level sections lists) on brochure pages, so the only way to get to the shopis to add "/catalog/shop" to the url

David,

I received your pm and have sent you a reply. Will check with support on teh status of the issue and get them to respond to you a.s.a.p

Kind regards,
