How do I create a link straight to a section?

[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 (see 'Web' | Network Setup)

* 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?...2345&NOLOGIN=1&ACTINIC_REFERRER=http://your.URL/acatalog/

and also
<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="ACTINIC_REFERRER" VALUE="http://your.URL/acatalog/">
