html 'named anchors'in velocity
Hello,
I'm a new user (web developer) of velocity on a property portal and am just
getting to grips with various features. I wonder if anyone can help with
this problem.
I'm trying to set up a named anchor, one on each thumbnailed image down the
side of a page, which, when clicked, changes a big image at the top to the
larger version of the thumbnail, and returns to the top of the page where
the large image is.
Here is the code I am trying to use - without the named anchors (please
excuse text wrapping):
#foreach ($image in $Property.images)
#if ($MediaMode == 'pictures')
<p><a
href="$link.setPage("publicsite,$!templatedir,PropertyDetails.vm").addQueryD
ata("p_id", "$Property.Uid.longValue()").addQueryData("pa_n",
$pa_n).addQueryData("MediaMode", "pictures").addQueryData("curr_media_n",
"$k")" onClick="dispImg($k); return false"><img
src="http://$image.nonSecureServer$image.thumbnailUri" width=135
alt="$image.caption" border=0 hspace=5 vspace=5></a><br>
#else
<p><a
href="$link.setPage("publicsite,$!templatedir,PropertyDetails.vm").addQueryD
ata("p_id", "$Property.Uid.longValue()").addQueryData("pa_n",
$pa_n).addQueryData("MediaMode", "pictures").addQueryData("curr_media_n",
"$k")"><img src="http://$image.nonSecureServer$image.thumbnailUri" width=135
alt="$image.caption" border=0 hspace=5 vspace=5></a>
#end
Suspecting that the problem is to do with the fact that a named anchor link
in html uses the code "#thelink", when # is a velocity character, I've tried
escaping the # with a \, but this doesn't work. I've tried various solutions
as follows:
<a
href="$link.setPage("publicsite,$!templatedir,PropertyDetails.vm#top").addQu
eryData ... >
<a
href="$link.setPage("publicsite,$!templatedir,PropertyDetails.vm\#top").addQ
ueryData ... >
which both change the link, as they're supposed to, but don't return me to
the top of the page, and:
<a
href="$link.setPage("publicsite,$!templatedir,PropertyDetails.vm"#top).addQu
eryData ... >
<a
href="$link.setPage("publicsite,$!templatedir,PropertyDetails.vm")\#top.addQ
ueryData ... >
which both break the file, thumbnails.vm (displayed in a pageset (not sure
of the terminology, sorry!) called PropertyDetails.vm. Thumbnails.vm just
doesn't show at all in these last two cases.
I usually try to hang around on lists and help other people before I start
asking for guidance so I feel bad asking for help before getting to know you
all, but I'm suffering under a deadline (who isn't!) and would *really*
appreciate some help with this! Of course, this is not the only problem I'm
having, but it's the only one where I'm really coming to a dead end. argh!
many many thanks if anyone knows about this
cheers
nicky

Ricky,
Not sure this will help your exact problem (because I don't understand the
details too well), but you seem to be asking about the use of internal page
navigation in a template. What follows is a small segment I cut out of one
of my templates - it provides 3 levels of navigation and works just fine.
HTH and Regards,
Terry

<li><a name=3></a>"I have to buy more than I really want or need." <a

</ol>
<p><a name=1a></a><b>1. Content Mixture:</b> Even when an audience is
interested in the topic area, they may not be satisfied with the particular
form in which the content is presented. Some may want more detail, and some
less - which means that a single presentation mix will typically be optimal
(that is, highly attractive) for only a relatively small audience. That
small audience may be willing to pay a decent price for the offering, but
it's small size translates into small revenue levels. <a href="#1c"

<p><a name=2a></a><b>2. The Right Price:</b> When the right content topic is
presented in the right presentation mixture, typically the next common
objection is price. An audience will perceive a value and associate it with
the content they access. For a given set of content, different segments of
a market may perceive significantly different values. When the price
exceeds this perceived value for a market segment, the sales objection of
members of that segment becomes formidable. <a href="#2c" >[Web-Exec
solution]</a> <a href=#1>Back to List</a>
<p><a name=3a></a><b>3. Only What You Need:</b> Even if the audience
perceives that the value of the content is in line with its price, many
members of that audience may still object that, the way that the content is
offered forces them to pay for more than they need or want. This objection
is most frequently associated with the volume of demand or frequency of
need. <a href="#3c" >[Web-Exec solution]</a> <a href=#1>Back to
List</a>

<p><a name=1c></a><b><u>Web-Exec Solution 1 (Content Mixture)</u>:</b>
<br>Web-Exec allows content 'narrowcasting', which is the capability to
simultaneously offer different 'views' of a set of content to different
segments of a target audience. <a href=#1a>[back to challenge]</a>
<p><a name=2c></a><b><u>Web-Exec Solution 2 (The Right Price)</u>:</b>
<br>Web-Exec allows each of these 'views' to be offered under a different
pricing strategy. <a href=#2a>[back to challenge]</a>
<p><a name=3c></a><b><u>Web-Exec Solution 3 (Only What You Need)</u>:</b>
<br>Web-Exec supports a wide range of different kinds of pricing strategies,
including flat rate with unlimited usage, flat rate with limited usage, flat
rate with unlimited usage with usage-based charges, or purely usage-based
charges with no flat rate. . <a href=#3a>[back to challenge]</a>
