    Linking to brochure pages...

    Hi,

    I'm trying to create an online presentation that customers can click through when on the site.

    The only way I believe I'm able to do this is to create individual brochure pages which link to each other by pressing "click here" which is a link to the next page url.

    However this page automatically appears in the menu - is there anyway I can design the page but stop it from appearing in the menu?

    Please see www.aloeveragifts.com - site in progress!!!. I have a section on here called 'vacancies' and I need this to link to "vacanciesb" page without "vacanciesb" appearing in the menu....

    Any ideas?????

    Regards

    Linda

    One way would be to hand code the links and not use the actinic generated menu.

      Hard Code?

      Hi Malcolm,

      Thanks for the tip - I'm not that much of a 'techie' unfortunately - I've built the site just from knowledge I've gained - no web design experience at all.

      Can you please explain a little more about hard coding and what I'd need to do?

      Thanks
      Linda

        The menu is created by NETQUOTEVAR:HEADERGUIDE in the Act_brochureprimary.html template. The easiest way to do it is to use an html editor such as Dreamweaver to open the template and delete the text NETQUOTEVAR:HEADERGUIDE. You can then add links to the pages you want to link to.

        If that is to tech for you - i would wait for a while as one of the others on the forum may have a simpler way.

            It depends what you want to achieve - we've done a picture slide show in a brochure page:
            http://www.fancylines.co.uk/acatalog...ines_News.html (Note: Adult Lingerie Site)
            This was created using the Microsoft Power Toy - HTML Slide Show WIzard (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/d...powertoys.mspx) and just placed it in an iFrame in a brochure fragment.

              Looks good...

              Hi,

              Thanks that looks good - can you just advise what an iframe is?

                An iframe is an html tag that allows you to put another web page inside an existing web page. For example you could do this in a brochure fragment:
                Code:
                !<<iframe src="http://www.mydomain.co.uk/Slides/Event/default.htm" width="Xpixels" height="Ypixels"></iframe>>!
                or another example even:
                Code:
                !<<iframe src="http://www.bbc.co.uk/" width="500" height="600"></iframe>>!

                  Hi,

                  Just looked at your site and noticed you're including !< and >! before and after the iframe, these should be removed to leave:
                  Code:
                  <iframe src="http://www.aloevera-and-you.com/opportunity/default.htm" width="475pixels" height="475pixels"></iframe>
                  On your default.html page you can then include anchor tags at the bottom like so:
                  Code:
                  <a href="default2.html" target="_self">Next</a>
                  The information enclosed in speech marks after href is the page you want your link to go to, the "_self" tells the web browser to load the new page in the iframe hence not affecting the site.

                  ...and then on default2.html include this at the bottom:
                  Code:
                  <a href="default.html" target="_self">Previous</a> <a href="default3.html" target="_self">Next</a>
                  ... and so on for each vacancies page you need. Hope this helps!

                    Having one of those days I think....

                    I've created the presentation in the microsoft software as was suggested earlier.

                    I've saved the presentation to my site 1 directory in a folder called opportunity.

                    I have then created a new layout in a brochure page 'fragment' and input the code shown earlier referring to my web address etc...

                    I've also added the default file to the additional files section.

                    However..... I can't seem to get the presentation to upload to the internet.

                    What am I doing wrong?

                    Thanks

                    Linda

                      Not sure. Which page have you added the iframe to ?

                      On your home page - I can't find closing <body></html> tags. The Menu is sitting over the top of the Cards Accepted box (Store sections is set to a height of 280 - maybe it needs 350 to clear the menu). The menu is set about 100 pixels left of the rest of the page content - may be other problems - I stopped looking.

                        Hi Bill,

                        I added the iframe to: http://www.aloeveragifts.com/acatalo...rtunities.html

                        Thanks for info re cards box - site is still in design mode at the mo and I intend to remove this box v shortly.

                          You will need to manually ftp all the presentation up into an online folder called 'opportunity', perhaps at the same level as acatalog. Then the iframe source will be http://www.mydomain.co.uk/opportunity/default.htm
                          You can look at the source on my link above if it helps.

                          Edit: Also remove the word pixels from the sizes in the iframe tag - I didn't make this clear. If you upload as I mention then your iframe tag will be:
                          <iframe src="http://www.aloevera-and-you.com/opportunity/default.htm" width="475" height="475"></iframe>
