Product/Section Names as Captions in BX Slider

[graphicz]

If you are using your BX slider to link to products and/or sections you can show the product or section name by changing the caption layout slightly.

Remove the BlockIf from around the carousel-caption div, then edit that div layout.

 <div class="carousel-caption">
<a href="<actinic:variable name="ItemLink" selectable="false" />"><h3><actinic:variable name="SectionName"/> <actinic:variable name="ProductName" /></h3></a>
</div>

It works really well as the caption draws on the target for the title.

The only issue is that Sellerdeck flags the variable name="SectionName" as an error:



Putting an 'Is Page Type Section' blockif doesn't work as the home page is not a section page!

How may I show the Section Name in the Promotional List Entry Layout without triggering an error?

Thank you!

There's a variable ItemType that is 0 for a Product type link and 1 for a Section type link.
Use that to only display each Product / Section name where appropriate:

<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22ItemType%22%20%2f%3e%20%3d%3d%200" ><actinic:variable name="ProductName" /></actinic:block>
<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22ItemType%22%20%2f%3e%20%3d%3d%201" ><actinic:variable name="SectionName"/></actinic:block>
