.pl help, single link to cart. form format?

[gabrielcrowe]

i have hunted high and low, buy i cant use a single link to buy a product.

i'm using a csv to add squillions of products to actinic, and the page they come from, has a lot of gubbins on it about the products.

i want a link to click on the product page, that goes directly to the cart, with the product inside.

is this possible? do i ahve to use form and perl trickery?

thanks actinickers

Could you explain further. What you're describing above seems to be exactly what the Add to Cart button does.

I have found that you the following works well:

http://www.YOURSITE.co.uk/cgi-bin/ca...%3ARANDOM&SID= <SID-OF-A-PARTICULAR-PRODUCT>&PAGE=PRODUCT&PAGEFILENAME=<PRODUCTPAGENAME>.html&Q_<PRODUCTCODE>=1 &ACTINIC_REFERRER=http://www.YOURSITE.co.uk/acatalog/<YOURPAGE>.html

Phew! Make sure all joined together - I had to add linebreaks here.

Anyway, you need the sectionID and page name - both available as hidden inouts in every Actinic page plus for safety I'd put the ACTINIC_REFERRER of that full page on the end as shown.

Try it and it should take you to the cart with the item added. There's also an article in the User Guide about this.

Its in the advanced users guide file too.
