    Link from search results direct to Extended Info page

    Hello everybody,

    I hope you are all well, and the recession not treating you too unkindly.

    I was wondering if it was possible to link straight from a search result to an extended info product page?

    I have the following in my 'Standard Search Result' layout code:

    HTML Code:
     <Actinic:Variable Name="SearchResultLink"/><img border=0 src="<actinic:variable name="SearchResultProductImage" />" <actinic:variable name="SearchResultProductImageSize" /> /></a>
    So clicking from the Search results, either from the image or the text name of the product, takes you to that product in the list of products in that Section.

    However, for each of my products, I use 'Extended Information' to generate a separate page. What I would prefer to happen is for the picture and text links in the Search results to take the visitor straight to this extended, single product page.

    Is that possible? If so, how would that be done?

    Many thanks - I am as grateful as ever to you all -

    pete

      Nope, I must be missing something (a brain, possibly?).

      If I take my existing code line in 'Standard Search result' layout code:-

      HTML Code:
      <Actinic:Variable Name="SearchResultLink"/><img border=0 src="<actinic:variable name="SearchResultProductImage" />" <actinic:variable name="SearchResultProductImageSize" /> /></a>&nbsp;&nbsp;
      and change it to:- (as I gleaned from the threads you pointed me towards):-

      HTML Code:
      <a href=<actinic:variable name="ExtendedInfoPageName" />><img border=0 src="<actinic:variable name="SearchResultProductImage" />" <actinic:variable name="SearchResultProductImageSize" /> /></a>
      I just get an error message from Actinic - the 'ExtendedInfoPageName' variable has been placed in the StandardSearchResult layout, but it won't work there.

      My question is, really, if 'ExtendedInfoPageName' won't work there, what will?
