Recent Update mixed up nav bar

[bwood]

The most recent update for Xara+ didn't do me any favors to the Xara ready made nav bar. Links to pages completely jumbled pointing to other pages. Some pages didn't even appear.

Not the first time this has happened strangely enough. I was able to fix on northeastspca.org - but beware to others with many, many more pages.

I'm almost afraid to make changes on other multi-page sites. Oh well - forward Ho !

Hi Bill, I see you're using .html on your site rather than the previous Xara default .htm extension.

I've no idea but perhaps this messed up when republished. Have you always used .html instead of .htm or is this a recent change?

I went with html if I recall. I had never thought of that actually. Thanks @egg

Thanks Matt I will. Also had a question about incorporating blocks into an existing website. Glad to see blocks now reflect the size of the current website. Great update by the way.

This has also happened to me and I had to spend two days putting them right only to find they're now all messed up again.
I tested adding a block to a non modular website which is what I think has caused it.

Kilo, are the links working correctly if you preview from xara?

We would be curious to learn more. Please contact us at www.xara.com/contact-us

No Egg, changed most of the text links to different pages including the nav bar as can be seen on https://www.ruitonmill.co.uk
Some are correct but there's 42 pages on the site with lots text links to other areas of the site so will take me another couple of days to correct but will probably revert back at the next publish - I'm losing the will to liove as I'm not even being paid for this site as I'm one of the charity trustees :-(
I put a block at the bottom of https://www.ruitonmill.co.uk/ellowes.htm page as someone loaned us some old photos taken in the 1950's - I think this is what's caused the problem.

Both, I sympathise.

I created a very simple set of seven pages and a Xara Site navigation Bar.
I also included a Menu pop-up layer with the same seven page links. This was called from the Large page number.

Observations:

• The pop-up must be invoked with Close pop-up automatically unchecked.
  I have left Page 4 - Jazz checked to show the issue.
  This is a major Bug across all versions that Xara has never addressed.
• A check of every pop-up Link on all pages and ditto for the Xara NavBar shows all works as expected.
• If I add the simplest 1. text (1c) WebBlock to the first page, the following happens:
  
  • The second page link disappears from the Menu layer and the NavBar render and edit - poof! gone!
  • All subsequent links now point to the prior page instead.
    I have not tried to reset these as in that lies madness.
  • Adding a WebBlock drops it onto the middle of the design screen.
    If the page bottom is high, the WebBlock goes at the bottom of the page, otherwise it separates out your design where it falls.
  • If the page (Page 2 - About) is locked, it is increased by 53px to accommodate the WebBlock. If not, an extra 399px is abutted under the WebBlock.
  • When adding WebBlocks, the last Menu item get bumped down off the page bottom when rendered.
    Even worse an Undo fails to restore its original position. It acts as if an invisible element or elements with Push is active.
  • Making any element or all into a WebBlock fails to prevent the above Buggy behaviour.
  
  
• Adding a WebBlock trashes the design.

Menus.xar - the "invisible" Push has been saved in this file.
