There are a lot of instances where I want to link out of Actinic to our main website (so people can read a lot of technical stuff about an item). These links would need to be in sections and individual items. Can I just use HTML in the description field or is there another way?

Actinic has a capability to place a link to an external page in the Product Details / Advanced / General / Information Link Text. This will place the link in a fixed place on the page. The location of this link is set in the Product Template by NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTBEGINLINKNETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTLINKTEXTNETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTENDLINK. You can move these around within the template if you want.


If you ptrefer more flexibility you can embed any HTML into the product description. You have to enclose such html in special tags !!< and >!! that Actinic uses to pass such code through unaltered. I.e.

More info is !!<<a href=http://externalsite.com>Here</a>>!!

Thanks, I prefer the flexibility so there'll be lots of <!>!>!<><!><!><!'s everywhere.
