Referrer Perl Script

[mediamole]

My clients online shop is accessible via a link on 5 of their websites. Due to the profit sharing process they're want to see where a sale comes from.

The Referrer Script looked like a possible solution and was set accordingly, such as:

http://clothing.equestrianteamgbr.co.uk/cgi-bin/rs000001.pl?SOURCE=bef&DESTINATION=index%2ehtml&PATH=%2e%2e%2f httpdocs%2facatalog&BASEURL=http%3a%2f%2fclothing%2eequestrianteamgbr%2eco%2euk%2facatalog%2f

The issue I face is with the DESTINATION value. I need it to go to the index.html page external to the acatalog, but have been advised by Actinic the DESTINATION has to refer to a page within the ACATALOG folder - which is no good for the client as the the vistor will never see the home page, which needs to be the intial landing page.

I was wondering if anyone has experienced this same issue and found a work around?

The referrer script uses a variable that is set to the acatalog folder, it would be possible to change the script to use a fixed path to the root folder but then it would only work with files in the root folder. It does mean you need to be happy to change the perl code.

I think I might of solved it! If I make the DESTINATION point to a redirect script in the ACATALOG, it will record what it needs too and then simply bounce the client to the desired page!
