    NETQUOTEVAR:TOPLEVELSECTIONSTOP not appearing on sitemap and info page

    Hi,

    The NETQUOTEVAR:TOPLEVELSECTIONSTOP doesn't appear on the site map nor the info page even though they appear on the brochure pages (created from fully generated page) and catalog pages.

    Which template, if different from Act_Primary and Act_BrochurePrimary, are these pages using?

    Or is there anything that should be done to make it appear there - they are following the overall look of the site.

    Thanks

    Leo

    as far as i am aware, top level sections has never worked on info and search pages which causes grief for folk who do want them there, i wonder if its possible to switch off whatever it is that stops them being displayed, actinic ?

    i am intrigued though to hear you say they work on brochure pages as well....i have never known that before and if its true i'll be quite happy...is it something that came out in a recent release??

    im off to test..

      No it's just a workaroud if you take one fully generated page and open it in you favourite html editor, take the top level section and paste it into the brochure pages.

      Will work if you don't add to many new section otherwise you'd have to do it again

        I just checked and it doesn't appear in the search result nor the cart/checkout pages.

        If any of you has any ideas, I'd be really grateful if you shared them as the site is supposed to go live tomorrow

        Thanks

          This is a known problem.

          I suggest you replace NETQUOTEVAR:TOPLEVELSECTIONSTOP with a section list generated by Javascript instead. The instructions for this are in the Advanced User Guide on page 40.

          Make sure that the stuff to go into the <HEAD> area goes underneath the <script> line with 'actinicextras.js' in it. Then replace NETQUOTEVAR:TOPLEVELSECTIONSTOP with the <script language=Javascript1.1>document.write(SectionList(section_tree))
          </script> line.

            Th eproblem with javascript generated menus is that the Search Engines won't be able to follow those links whereas they can follow the NETQUOTEVAR:TOPLEVELSECTIONSTOP. I think I'll just leave it that way until the next update/patch.

              As long as you have a link to your site map you don't have to worry about search engines following javascript menus.

              get the sitemap link at least on brochure index and acatalog index

                The problem with this approach is that your product pages will have a PR (google page rank) lesser than if you use the link straight on homepage.
                It usually decrease by one on every level as you go down therefore migh be penalising you (when/if google decides to emphasis more on PR)

                  This seems to be an old discussion, has this been sorted in actinic yet? I too have my navigation on my brochuure pages but not on my info page or cart pages.

                  I really would like to get the nav bar on my info page/searchpage/basket page

                  Ta!

                    i have another question too...

                    chris, the bulleted java section list is ok as an interim fix, and works nicely on the info / search pages...

                    is there any way to get it onto brochure pages as well?
