Links to products from Home page

[Tony Beardshaw]

Hi

I am wanting to link to individual products from the home page on my site but am not sure what code to use as I am aware that the code to link to the main catalogue page is:

<A HREF="http://www.my-history.co.uk/cgi-bin/ss000001.pl?SECTIONID=index.html&NOLOGIN=1" TARGET="_parent" >

and I can link to a product using:

<a href="http://www.my-history.co.uk/acatalog/Family_Historian_v22.html#aCPFH22"> more</a>

I don't think the second bit of code is right as it does not ref the cgi-bin.

All I'm trying to do is link from either a picture or a line of text. I am happy using HTML within the home page and I'm not bothered about dragging information back from the actual product file.

My current home page at www.my-history.co.uk has a special offer ay top right corner as an example of what I am trying to do

Hoping someone can advise me please.

If you're a plain vanilla Catalog site (not Business) then your second example is fine. It's also search engine friendly. That script way sure isn't!

If you use Business then you must go via the scripts.

Plenty of info on that on the Forum and Knowledge Base.
