subind appears in last menu item when no subsection

Post by cj »

Hi

Please refer to http://www.foxfieldfowls.co.uk/test/index.html.

The bottom menu item in the left menu is 'Select Items fron a List' and it has a '>' subsection indicator showing incorrectly. If I remove this page from my shop the subsection indicator moves up to the previous menu item 'Products Built fron Add-Ons' so I'm only getting the incorrect subsection indicator on the last menu item.

Also, when I hover my mouse over 'Select Items fron a List' the top of the 'New Products' heading getting is being masked so it looks like I'm getting a balnk white submenu flyout.

So far I've tried replacing my custom listmenu_foxfield.css with the original listmenu_o.css and replacing my fsmenu.js with the original version but neither correct the problem.

Any ideas?

Regards
Chris

Never seen that before and cannot get any Norlist site here to do that.

Could you look in layout NorList Dynamic Menu Code and tell me the version (very first line has it)?

Also, you could try temporarily pasting this code into an overall Layout and copy/pasting the output to the Forum.

Code: Select all

Section Dump Begin
<actinic:block type="EntireSectionList">
<br>
Index: <actinic:variable name="ListIndex" />,&nbsp; 
Level: <actinic:variable name="SectionLevel" />,&nbsp;
Name: <Actinic:Variable Name="SectionName">
</actinic:block>
<br>
Section Dump End

Also, I had replaced listmenu.css amd fsmenu.js with originals without success so I've attached my listmenuactivate.js in case that helps you diagnose the problem.

Those last 5 lines are interesting:

Code: Select all

Index: 52, Level: 1, Name: Select Items from a List 
Index: 53, Level: 1, Name: Best Sellers 
Index: 54, Level: 1, Name: New Products 
Index: 55, Level: 1, Name: FAQ 
Index: 56, Level: 2, Name: When are you open for visitors? 
As only the first of them is displaying on the NorList Menu.

As to what's going wrong, I'm completely stumped.

Have you made any modifications to NorList?

P.S. Can't see any attached files.

I had made some changes, hence my swithching back to the original files. I also followed your mods to prevent elements on the page appearing over the menu.

The last 5 entries were not in the menu because I had selected 'false' for 'show section in sidebar' in the actinic section > general tab.

Following on from this, I tried re-ordering things a bit so the last item on the menu is a single section with no sub sections and is not hidden from the sidebar. I still left one section not showing in the sidebar further up my content tree. I now no longer have subind in the last menu position. Please see http://www.foxfieldfowls.co.uk/test/index.html.

I can use this workround OK.

It looks like the actinic function to hide sections from the sidebar is interacting in an odd way with norlist. I have no idea why the attachment didn't upload but just for interests sake, I will put everything back to the original norlist and see if the subind is there - it may take me a while but I'll post to let you know how I get on.
