Can anyone tell me why a simple address like www.datarax.co.uk/work_benches.html turns into http://www.datarax.co.uk/cgi-bin/ss0...html&NOLOGIN=1. Can anyone tell me how to stop it doing so. I use the best seller template and all the links in my Departments section are like it. Is there a post in the community that I can go to. Cheers Rob

This initially depends on the theme you are using. You can use this navigation in your Act_Primary template:
NETQUOTEVAR:TOPLEVELSECTIONSTOP
which creates relative URLs instead of cgi links. -
I have looked at the template and found the following:Originally posted by drounding
<tr>
<td valign="top" bgcolor="NETQUOTEVAR:PALCOLOR1CSS"><img src="departments.gif" width="170" height="27"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top" bgcolor="NETQUOTEVAR:PALBGCSS">
<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="5">
<tr>
<td align="center">
<script language=Javascript1.2>
document.write(YahooSections(sections))
</script>
</td>
</tr>
If I comment out the script bit, my existing top level section links dissappear, but do not appear if I add in NETQUOTEVARTOPLEVELSECTIONSTOP.
Not really sure what I should be doing, can anyone help please.Rob Lane

There is an explanation of this in great detail starting on (is it page 14?) of the v7 Advanced User Guide.
You have to move the appropriate NQV out of the comment block above the <head> tag, so that Actinic knows to generate the code for those links.Bill

Hi Bill,Originally posted by datarax
Looked at page 14 and it appears to be for navigation buttons. I want to link to my top level pages in the catalogue.
I could insert a simple a <a> link to each top page, but I think there must be a more Actinic right way, because to do what I want I would need to comment out some original script and I am not sure what effect it will have elsewhere.
Mind you will soon find out if I do it!
Cheers

Another option is to change the Theme of the site to one which does not use the yahoo section list eg clean 01
I remember that there is a problem with using the Toplevelsection list in your current theme ie it will not work. Toplevelsection only works in certain themes.Comment

OK so its actually on page 31 to 34

Hi Bill,Originally posted by wjcampbe
Found it, read it & as clear as mud to me!
Not sure which bit would do what I want (i.e.get rid of the http://www.datarax.co.uk/cgi-bin/ss0...html&NOLOGIN=1) or where to stick it.
I,m sure it must be simple, but not simple enough for me!

Hi All,Originally posted by datarax
Change of tack, commented out the yahoo script bit thingy in Act Primary and added in a simple <a href="page name.html"> the page name or alternative title</a> link for each section and it seems to work fine. I did this to Brochure and main primary templates.
Therefore, my Department links (in Best Seller theme on left hand side of screen) still display properly, but without all the extra bits like ? SeSSIONID NOLOGIN etc etc in the bottom bar of the screen.
My paid SEO said I needed to do it, so I have, but I will await with interest to see if it helps my page ranking.
Thanks to all who tried to help me!
Regards

New thing! all my my section links display properly, but my link to my catalogue (from my brochure index page button ... entitled...The Catalogue) still has all the SeSSIONID NOLOGIN etc etc stuff attached. Anybody know how I can change this so that I can get a nice clean link here as well. You will see what I mean if you go to my home page at the link below. regards RobOriginally posted by dataraxRob Lane

Why not just hard code a link to your catalog index page, it's not going to change.
I think you also should consider putting a sitemap link on your homepage (brochure pages) as you've done on your catalog pages. I would expect your SEO company to have advised that as well.Comment

Hi Duncan, That was too simple a solution for me to think of...thanks for that, its done and solves the issue painlessly. Thanks for the tip regarding site map...done that as well every little bit of SEO helps. Cheers RobRob Lane

Login Page - Section list
Hi, Can anyone tell me where I can change the section links on the login page. I have changed the section links on the brochure and catalogue pages to display nicely! (i.e. without sessionid etc etc), but the login page has not changed. Can't find where to change it by looking through templates, but I must be able to do it somewhere. Does any one know why the long links are used by Actinic when short links work just as well. Cheers RobRob Lane
