Navigator Control

Adding the Navigator Control to a Common Control

Structured Solutions
To make the Navigator Control appear on your web site, you must add it to a StoreFront page or common control such as LeftColumnNav.ascx. These instructions assume you are adding TextNavigator1.ascx to LeftColumnNav.ascx, but they apply equally well to any of the sample Navigator Control files and all of the StoreFront common controls.
  1. Make a backup copy of the StoreFront file (e.g. LeftColumnNav.ascx) before you make any changes.
  2. Open the StoreFront file (e.g. LeftColumnNav.ascx) in a text editor and add this line to the top of the file.
    <%@ Register TagPrefix="uc1" TagName="Navigator" 
    Src="../Controls/TextNavigator1.ascx" %>
  3. Add this line to the bottom of the file (or insert this line in the file where you want the Navigator Control to appear).
    <uc1:Navigator id="Navigator" runat="server" />
  4. Save your changes and close the file.
  5. If the StoreFront file you modified is identical for both the front-end and checkout pages of your store, copy the modified file from CommonControls to ssl/CommonControls. Otherwise, repeat steps #1-4 above using the corresponding file in ssl/CommonControls.

You can now load a page from your store in a browser to see and use the Navigator Control.
