How do I manually create links to the sections in my store?

[KB]

If you want to create a link to a section in a store, then use a link of the following form...

http://your.URL/cgi-bin/ss00000x.pl?...html&NOLOGIN=1

Where:
•http://your.URL/cgi-bin is the URL of your CGI-BIN
•ss00000x.pl is the name of your search script with the 'x' replaced with your CGI ID number
•Section%5fPage%2ehtml is the filename of your desired page. Note that you have to encode any non-alphanumeric characters so an underscore '_' becomes '%5f' and a full stop '.' becomes '%2e'.
•&NOLOGIN=1 is an essential thing to add to the end of the URL to order to bypass the login page

Linking from Other URLs
Note: If you are using this code from outside the 'acatalog' folder then you will need to include a hidden form field of 'ACTINIC_REFERRER=' where the value is your 'Catalog URL' from 'Web | Network Setup'.

For example:
http://your.URL/cgi-bin/ss00000x.pl?....URL/acatalog/
and also

<input name="ACTINIC_REFERRER" value="http://your.URL/acatalog/" type="hidden"/>
