Using Scripts to Link Directly to a Page

[bentleybloke]

Using the example below, it is possible to link to an item directly, if you know the product ref.

http://www.mysite.com/cgi-bin/ss00000x.pl?PRODREF=12345&NOLOGIN=1

Using the following, it is possible to link to a product if you have some keywords (i.e. this is the result of quick search)

http://www.mysite.com/cgi-bin/ss00000x.pl?PAGE=SEARCH&SS=keyword+keyword&TB=A&PR=-1

Bear with me...

Using this, you can link to a product with keywords and specific searchable variable.

http://www.mysite.com/cgi-bin/ss00000x.pl?PAGE=SEARCH&SS=keyword+keyword&TB=A&PR=-1&S_SearchableVariable0_0=Value&GB=A

In a site with B2B, you can use the bb00000x.pl script to link directly to a page of which you know the name, as below.

http://www.mysite.com/cgi-bin/bb00000x.pl?PRODUCTPAGE=MyPage.html

Is such a function possible with the examples using the search script? What I'm after doing is using the search script in conjunction with a searchable variable to link directly to a page rather than bring up the search results with just one result (which is a bit pointless).

Thanks!

bentleybloke,

I will run this past development to see what they say. I think this is one for the wishlist as it would require quite a bit of customisation. I will keep you updated.

Kind regards,

Confirmed that this is one for the wishlist as Actinic can provide you with a result but cannot take you to the page that it is linked to. I have added this to the wish list for you.

Kind regards,

I am still trying to find a way of doing this for my site. It will help with the search engine rankings so much. It will be very useful if actinic can provide a fix for this. I look forward to seeing it if they can.
