Your products can appear with two different URL's; a plain one or a more complex one via the cgi-bin if the customer got there through the search results or if you're using business and have logged-in users.

It might be easiest then to do this through JavaScript:

<script type="text/javascript">document.write(location.href);</script>

Will always put the current URL into the page.

If a plain URL is sufficient then use:

<actinic:variable name="CatalogURL" /><actinic:variable name="SectionPageName" />

I'm also trying to get the Facebook Like button to work on each of my products (on the extended info page) but I keep getting errors.

I can get a link to the main site ok (www.giftedindesign.co.uk) but not to the extended info page.

This is the code I'm using:
<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=<actinic:variable name="CatalogURL" /><actinic:variable name="ExtendedInfoPageName" />;layout=standard&amp;show_faces=false&amp;width=450&amp;action=like&amp;colorscheme=light&amp;height=35" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:35px;" allowTransparency="true"></iframe>

This is an example of the facebook error message I'm getting:
The page at http://www.giftedindesign.co.uk/acat...ayout=standard could not be reached.

Can anyone point me in the right direction??

Thanks
Jackie

That ;layout=standard bit looks wrong.

Perhaps it should be ?layout=standard

Finally got it! Just needed an "&amp" after the variable code.

Thanks for replying Norman.
