Rollovers and slave actions up to 60

Hi all

I have used an own modified Rollover and Slave action for 60 instead of 20, which I no longer can use in Freeway 5.

Now, I am trying to rebuild the page into three separate actions groups, Indigo, Rose and Slate. It is not very smooth, because many items that shall show in all three groups and other that should be hidden will no havet to repeated. It won’t be so maintenance friendly.

I have therefor a personal but strong wish, that Softpress will expand the Rollover and other involved actions from 20 to 60. Many users would applaud this, I can guarantee.

The actions are used in a Restaurant Menu here: http://www.holgerdanske.se, choose MENY, BESTÄLLNING.

Best Regards

Ulf

You should be able to use the rollover 60 in 5 - just ensure that the action suffix is .fwaction

njet, Rollover 60 is not complient with fw5. A publishing of the site takes round 20 minutes and the same action in fw4 takes 3 minutes at most.
I have 43 items in rollovers and slave images. Its just not doable.

If that is the case then ask SP to look at seeing if they can do a FW5 version for you.

Contact them direct at support (at) softpress.com

Hello so I see here that there is in fact a problem with Rollover 60. Is there anything I can do? Softpress sent me the action

Thanx

Hello Dave!! How are you? Yes I do The nice guys at Softpress sent the recent version… It will absolutely not work. I have re imported the actions also but nothing works. The hand icon does not appear on the rollover small images to alert it

I am at my wits end

I even went back to tick the old rollover 20 and that does not work either… something is amiss
any ideas would be great!

Your example page is messed up – none of the images are loading.

I think you should make a new document, start from scratch, and try building up a single page with the “60” actions. They should work precisely the same as the classic “20” actions – all they are is a modified version with more file fields, nothing more exotic than that. I suspect that you may have inadvertently left one of the 20 actions on one of the images on your page. With that many objects on a page, it’s not surprising.

As to the difference between a Show/Hide DIV and Show/Hide Image, there really isn’t any difference functionally, but the Action should not allow you to apply itself to the wrong kind of object. If you have selected an image, then you should only be able to choose Show/Hide Target Image from the Item Actions submenu. Conversely, if you have selected a DIV, you should be able to choose Show/Hide Target Layer. And if you have selected a non-layered HTML box, you shouldn’t be able to apply either of them. Nothing in the Action arsenal is able to make a table cell appear and hide.

Finally, you should talk to your server administrator about address completion. When you give out the address above (without the trailing slash, as Dave pointed out in another thread) your server does not try to correct it by silently adding a trailing slash while trying to satisfy the request. Instead, there’s a fairly unfriendly 404 page, and one that doesn’t identify you at all. While you could make a better habit of always including the trailing slash in your links, it’s not reasonable to expect that your clients will always remember to type this in themselves, so it behooves you to add all the automation you can get.

Thanks for the tip. I had forgotten the trail.

I have redone the page using the rollover 20 and a different group for the additional 8 images.

I also redid the page yesterday trying to implement Rollover 60 and it is not compatible with pro 5

So, after all that it works properly now. Thanks for all your input. much appreciated
