    consistent navigation links

    Hi all you experts... I'm just trying to get to grips with Actinic Catalog 6 and it's a case of two steps forward and one step back at the moment. This is my dilemma at the moment and I think the problem lies somewhere with the brochure pages.

    1. Why doesn't the type search box (NETQUOTEVAR:SIMPLESEARCH) and the Cart Items script work on the index and brochure pages?

    2. How can I get a consistent set of navigation buttons, which will stay unchanged throughout the whole site from the homepage, to the brochure pages and the catalog? The brochure pages only display the links relating to the brochure pages I've created but I want to include the catalog links as well . Removing the NETQUOTEVAR:HEADER and FOOTER and inserting custom links doesn't work (only within the Primary templates).

    Most of the sites I've visited from other designers on this forum, have all acheived what I'm trying to do, so there must be lots of great advice out there!

    Good question. You can make the cart items script work by including the line

    <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" SRC="actinicextras.js" TYPE="text/javascript"></SCRIPT>

    just below the <script...> line that references 'actiniccore.js' in the <HEAD> section of the page.

    You can include a simple search bar by copying and pasting a simple search bar from a fully generated store page into the Brochure Overall Layout template(s).

    2. How can I get a consistent set of navigation buttons, which will stay unchanged throughout the whole site from the homepage, to the brochure pages and the catalog?

    Again, copy and paste the code for the view cart and checkout buttons from the fully-generated store pages into the Brochure overall layout templates. All the other links (e.g. search page, info page etc.) are just links to pages within the 'acatalog' folder and they can just be hard-coded into the overall layout templates of both the brochure pages and the store pages.

    Hope that helps.
