NETQUOTEVARs resolving differently in brochure/catalog!?

[jxm28788]

I have the following line which makes up the navigation bar in my act_primary.html template -

NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBCATALOG| NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBLOGIN| NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBCART| NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBCHECKOUT

This results in a nav bar like this (correct) -

Home | Login | View Basket | Checkout

However, when I put exactly the same code in the act_brochureprimary.html template it comes out as -

| Login| | View Basket| | Checkout|

So firstly, the 'Home' is not resolving, and secondly it is sticking a '|' on the end of each button (with no space).

It's like in the brochure it is adding a '|' to the end of the text, while the catalog is adding a space to the end of the text...

So WHY is it doing that and how do I get round it?

[jxm28788]

just noticed a similar thread, and in answer to that - no I don't have any images specified in the navigation section.

John,

You will have to use a hard coded link on the Brochurepages, this is a bug with rendering on teh brochure area, also tied in with TOPLEVELSECTIONSTOP not working there. You can get rid of the spacing if you check the nav item templates.

Kind regards,

ok. what are the hardcoded links for the login, checkout and basket?

Login Link on Brochure page

Basket

Checkout

Kind regards,

Do those links change if the customer has an account and is logged in? (I notice the home link is different?)

[Bruce]

Have you resolved this by using Act_Primary for the 'Front Page Layout'?

Kind regards,

[jxm28788]

I resolved this by using hardcoded links - kind of.

The home button doesn't work (points at /acatalog not /acatalog/index.html and therefore displays a file listing of the acatalog directory)

Also, I still need to know if any of the links change when logged in...

This is an example of the links -

<A HREF="NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBHOMELINK" TARGET="_self" onMouseOver="SwapImage('myhome','crazy-daves-home-button-2.gif')" onMouseOut="RestoreImage()"><IMG SRC="crazy-daves-home-button-1.gif" ALT="Go to the home page" BORDER="0" width="38" height="19" name="myhome"></A>

hI,

So firstly, the 'Home' is not resolving

On the brochure page you should use NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBHOME for that and not NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBCATALOG

and secondly it is sticking a '|' on the end of each button (with no space).

You have a '|' directly after the NETQUOTEVARs in you code which is where the first '|' is coming from. The second one is in Act_BrochureNavItem.html.
