    How do I create a link straight to a section?

    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/">
