create link from product code?

[jxm28788]

Is it possible, given only the 'product number' to construct an URL to point to the product page?

Yes using something like

http://www.site.co.uk/cgi-bin/ss000001.pl?PRODREF=123456&ACTINIC_REFERRER=http://www.site.co.uk/acatalog/&NOLOGIN=1

to return the page containing 123456

wow, nice one! I thought the answer would be no for sure...

If I try it with the NOLOGIN then it seems logs the user out...

As this will only be used for logged in users, I assume that if I remove the "&ACTINIC_REFERRER=http://www.site.co.uk/acatalog/&NOLOGIN=1" bit it will work quite happily without logging them out?

I tried it and it seems to but it would be nice to know that it should work this way, rather than it just happens to work that way...

Just remove the

&NOLOGIN=1

bit.

The ACTINIC_REFERRER is needed to make sure the Perl knows where to kind all the images etc in your 'acatalog' folder.
