Multiple SECTIONIMAGE templates.

[teeone]

Hi Guys

I have a problem that I am trying to overcome with section navigation images. Act_SectionLineImage seems (somehow) to call Act_SectionNavImage which inturn defines how the image is displayed. Now I can happily put a nice looking border around the image, but here is the twist: I only want the border around images for some sections not all. I don't want to mix and match per section, but some sections I want the images to have borders some sections I dont want the images to have borders. Tech support seemed pretty confused when I explained this and said to use an image editor, which given I have about 10,000 nicely cropped and sized images without borders seems a pretty lame answer; so I thought that maybe someone know how to do this, or might be able to confirm that it cant actually be achieved.

Cheers all.

Hi Mat

Try this and see if this is what you want

1. Create a CUSTOMVAR of type text in Advanced|Custom Properties(this for the bordersize so give it a appropriate name eg BORDER)

2.In Design | Options | Site Defaults. Add the custom property BORDER by clicking on the small + sign that appears under the heading "Properties" , untick searchable and File Name, Tick Use as CUSTOMVAR. Set the value to 0 (zero) this will result in the site being displayed as present.


3. Select a section which requires borders around the section image.On the properties tab, add the custom property BORDER (same settings as above) set the value to any value greater than 0 to indicate the size of the border for the section images.

4. If there are more sections with a border than without, then set the border width for the BORDER property in Design | Options | Site Defaults and then just set the section property BORDER to zero for sections which do not require the border.

Hope this helps

Consider Actinic support well and truely redeemed. Thanks for your effort on this, with a little jiggery pokery I managed to get it all working. For anyone who is reading this post you also need to change the Act_SectionNavImage.html file to include BORDER=CUSTOMVAR:BORDER. I have had some problems with applying a class to the border as this seems to override the CUSTOMVAR value that is taken from Actinic - but I guess I'm just beeing picky.
