    Section Link

    OK.... So I added a new section in my content tree, designed a new(button) graphic and dropped it into the site 1 folder. Embedded the required code into the table code on the content page so the button shows up. But when I click on it it desplays an Internet explorere error page! Where do I find the required html page that actinic has generated for me to link the button to the new page!????

    In the content tree view click on the new section you have added (not on a product within the section). Then look on the 'Page Settings' tab and you will see the name of the HTML page in the 'Page Name' box.

    Hope that makes sense.

      Am I correct in assuming you are talking about the top level section list on the left side of the page?

      This would mean that you would have to fix the link each and every time the page name changes as it would be hard coded.

      A much better solution would be to find the layout that you are using to populate the section list and edit the code there to display the image.

      I've just done this for a new site that I am working on... swearing at (you decide).

      The image only section list layout uses the section image and imo is very messy. Instead, use this layout but put the code to use your own images in there.

      I've created the code that will call a specific button (image) depending on the section. The page name is automatically generated by Actinic meaning that I never have to remember to fix my link.

      Give that a try.

          are you testing this online or offline?
          Have you uploaded the catalog with the new section yet?
          That or your section url is wrong!

          Might sound obvious...but you'd be surprised!

            alternatively, are you in TEST mode?
            In which case your url should be
            Code:
            http://www. craftcompany. co.uk/ acatalog/ test/ acatalog/ NEW__Stitchery.html
            without the spaces (I think)

                Links in layouts should be relative. I.e: <a href="file.html"><img src="image.jpg"></a>

                  ok Louise
                  I wondered about that
                  I did think it couldn't be right to have to change the links when moving from test mode to live.
