    Problem Symptoms:
    The following error message appears instead of target vendor site when DirectLink Banner is active

    HTML::Template->new() called with odd number of option parameters - should be of the form option => value at /exlibris/sfx_ver/sfx4_1/<instance>/lib/SFXMenu/Output/DirectLinkWithBanner.pm line 63

    Cause:
    Missing Section "mix_html_menu" in local instance ctx_object.config

    Resolution:
    1) Open /exlibris/sfx_ver/sfx4_1/<instance>/config/ctx_object.config in a file editor

    2) Following the 'Section "html_menu"', add:

    #For mixed directLink page.
    Section "mix_html_menu"
    debugging "0"
    log "$ENV{SFXCTRL_HOME}/logs/sfxmenu"
    timer "0"
    keep_log "0"
    debug_ip_range "*.*.*.*"

    template "$ENV{SFXCTRL_HOME}/templates/sfxmenu/mix_sfxmenu.tmpl"
    verde_link "0"
    mail_to "your@email_address.here"

    3) Edit the mail_to variable to include your email address
