Menu and icon links not working
Can someone please check out http://www.logostore.co.za on a cell or tablet and tell me if the menu and icon links work.
I've been on this problem for nearly 10 hrs and am desperate. When I preview the site in XDPX all works as expected. There's a white strip at the top which is sticky and the menu and icons are on top of this - they are also sticky.
When I publish the site, the menu and icon links are dead - nothing happens!!!
I've attached only the 1st 2 "pages" (it's a scrolling website) - can someone please find out the problem.
Many thanks,
Mike
Stand by - the nav bar is no longer a nav bar!
Fixed that but still doesn't work - icons also
Re: Menu and icon links not working
I didn't try it on a mobile phone or tablet but the site is all garbled on my desktop. When I narrow the browser, the mobile variant shows but is equally garbled. Way down the site, I get the message 'Oops! That page can't be found.' So, something is wrong on the server. Perhaps good to clean out the server folder and then re-upload.
Re: Menu and icon links not working
Thanks Boy - yeah, I've been making changes trying to fix it... so sorry about that.
If you preview the file in Xara, is it OK?

If you turn off export "scroll" and export as "website" your links appear to work || Attachment 130554
You have set your page length to 8577px which is not necessary; it only needs to be the length of your content on each page, even if you are using "scroll"
I've not explored why scroll causes this conflict on your site, but it works when you export as website.

Re: Menu and icon links not working
When I publish the site with all pages (so, including the 404 page) the menu doesn't work but when I only publish the main page, it works. Don't know what the issue is but at least you know that there's something wrong with that second page.
Re: Menu and icon links not working
Thanks for the feedback Initiostar and Boy - will look at that.
Re: Menu and icon links not working
I basically rebuilt the top nav panel 1 step at a time and tested every time! All good but 1 small problem - under the Home flyout there are links to pdf files on other (new) pages.
I'm getting an error message - not working - to many redirects.
Will this sort itself out over time? - I have re-published the site dozens of times...
Re: Menu and icon links not working
Seems to work fine now LGF. At least I don't see any issue during a quick check. One thing I noticed is that you might want to give a title to your website; now it says 'Index'.
Re: Menu and icon links not working
Is there a reason your text and buttons are so large? It's seems inelegant to me.
Re: Menu and icon links not working
LGF, your attached .xar file has all the url export details included plus the password! I'd recommend you ask a mod to remove it asap.
It also looks like you have all your content on a single page. Is this correct?

Acorn, please remove my file in post 4 too (haven't noticed the publish details).
Thanks,

Re: Menu and icon links not working
@GW - :) this is designed for mobile only - I will to a "full size version" once client is happy with this. On my old galaxy note 4, the buttons are just big enough.
@ Egg - you're right - I will remove the password from the export details, and yes - it is a 1 page site.
1 puzzling issue - viewing the site both on my phone and laptop, the menu stays expanded after you have clicked on a heading - click anywhere on the page and it closes. Why isn't it "auto closing" ?
Re: Menu and icon links not working
Apologies to all for the trouble I caused :(

- The top menu bar is far too deep.
- The menu items text size destroys the site's presentation.
- The Top of Page icon is not Sticky.
- "Your hosts are ; " should be 'Your hosts are: '.
- Our Food block has Ipsum Lorem text showing.
- "Our Winelist" heading should be 'Our Wine List'.
- The Wine List box bounces - others don't. The Visit... Virtual Tour doesn't have any effect. Better if you make the more button-lie. Bread and Pastries box Bulges.
- The Visit... Virtual Tour link should be to an Anchor for the Videos block.
- Our Shopping? block has nothing but Ipsum Lorem text. What the question mark?
- The Photo Gallery would be better with the Slideshow enabled.
- The Videos 3D Tour must have an image link - a blue box is unappealing.
- Better to have the same size Poster to have a pop-up to each video - similar to the Photo Gallery and the rest of the site.

@ Egg - you're right it is a 1 page site.
You don't need to create your site on a single page. If you want to create what Xara used to call a Supersite (now named a Scroll) you created it using several independant pages and on publish Xara stiched them together to behave as a single page.
This can be great for creating pages that scroll between one section and another but has the big drawback of loading the complete site in one go. If you have videos and google maps etc these can seriously slow down the page rendering.
I'd recommend looking at your page speed results on something like LINK

I think this relates specifically to touch-devices - because all the anchor links point to the same page for some reason the Navbar doesn't close; I tried with a simple popup menu layer and had the same issue, the popup doesn't close, unless of course you tap an area outside of it - but that's what I would expect if you stay on the same page.
I'm sure you could create a better Javascript menu that works around this issue.
One point that confused me is that if this is your variant, it would be better to temporarily set Scale-to-fit-Width closer to the mobile page size; otherwise everything looks much larger than it would be in practice. Equally setting the mobile page width at 800px seems ambitious and renders the text on my mobile too small. Personally, I would have thought somewhere between 540px and 640px would be better (and temporarily) set the StfW to be the same as the mobile page width. Once you add your desktop variant you will of course need to change it.

To everyone - many thanks for the feed back - yes this is test site with a number of issues to be decided - hence lorem ipsum, need to check animations, stills pics for vids etc
