section template and customvars

[Breda]

Hi,
I was having a problem last week with alt tags repeating through the sub sections on actinic 7. Got that resolved thanks to Norman and I wonder if this problem is similar.

I want to have a html file on a section of the site, I don't want the html file to appear ont he sub sections page with this section. SO I created a customvar:sectiontext, made it a file and put it in the properties of the top section Gifts. No problem that works, see it here:
http://www.picnic.ie/acatalog/Remembrance_Gifts.html

However it also comes up the subsections of gifts, the Frames and Scrolls pages.
http://www.picnic.ie/acatalog/Celtic_Framed_Prints.html

The candles does not have subsections. I don't have the custom var in the properties on these subsections but it still brings in the information form the top level. Is it a bug in the programme?
Regards,
Breda

seaction templates

Hi Bill,
I have a customvar on this page:
http://www.picnic.ie/acatalog/Remembrance_Gifts.html
bringing up the text:
Reproductions of Hand-Crafted Masterpieces by Artist Kevin Dillon etc and the image beside it.

On the sub sections on Frames and Scrolls they too show this text and image even though I don't have it set as a customvar in their properties.
Regards,
Breda

Sounds as though you are falling victim to Customvar inheritance. One way to block this would be to add the Cutomvar to the section where you DO NOT want it and asign a blank value.

only assign a value to the customvar at the bottom most level, that way there will be no inheritance issue
