Navigation: home

[Rich Atkins]

I want to have "home" as a navigation choice in both the top right horizontal menu, and in a left column vertical menu. The Actinic top right menu goes to the root index.html which is wonderful, but my left hand column "home" is going to ../actinic/index.html. I've tried changing this either to specify root, or inserted the variable, but neither seem permissible as this brochure fragment "can't contain a path".

Please see: www.oratetest.pinbrookdedicated.co.uk

How do I get the left hand column "home" to go to /index.html and not to ../acatalog.html?

Thanks

If you look at the offending link in the Design View, what do you see between the name="..."?

I have:

<a href="<actinic:variable name="HomePageURL" />"

which directs to co.uk/index.html

[Rich Atkins]

Thanks

(If I'm looking at the right place....)

In design view, I have highlighted the offending "home", and have
<a href="BrochurePageURL" class="product_section">BrochureName</a>

Editing the layout details of the "BrochureName" shows the Name of the Layout variable name is "ObjectName".

Which part of that can / should I change?

I wouldn't change that, it's the same code I have against my Brochure Page link too. However, mine is directing to /index.html

When you look at "Home" in your content tree in "Page Details" View, do you have "Use as Website Home Page" Checked?

Also,

What do have set in:

Design/Design Options/Home Page Link ?

P.S In the future wrap any code you put up in Code Tags (# Button above the post pane), it helps distinguish between the code and your post

[Rich Atkins]

Is this right?

If I replace the code at the offending home with:

<a href="<actinic:variable name="HomePageURL" />" class="product_section"><actinic:variable name="BrochureName" /></a>

That appears to work in a preview.

Can anybody reassure me?!

Design | Home page link

This is currently set to the test site of

What has that done to your other Brochure Links?

[Rich Atkins]

Yes, the page I would like to appear is ticked in the general / page details to be used as home page

[Rich Atkins]

What has that done to your other Brochure Links?

Takes other brochure pages to the home page - so my code attempt didn't work!

Ta for that - I thought I was doing well using "quote" for the 1st time. 2 new things in one day!

[Rich Brady]

I thought it might

What you did was alter the Standard Layout for every Brochure Page

For the Brochure Page "Home" what is it's Page FileName (Page Settings in Page Details view)?

[Rich Atkins]

However, mine is directing to /index.html

Could you let me have that whole line so I can see where the "/index.html" part appears?

[Rich Atkins]

For the Brochure Page "Home" what is it's Page FileName (Page Settings in Page Details view)?

page filename is index.html

[Rich Brady]

It looks the same as your Brohure Pages:

<a href="<actinic:variable name="BrochurePageURL" />" class="product_section"><actinic:variable name="BrochureName" /></a>

So there is something else that's making the difference!

Did you have look at the Page Filename and/or Design Options that I mentioned?
