logged out following non actinic link

[cms-tec]

Hi

We're having a problem with the user of our site staying logged in if they follow a non actinic generated link (e.g http://www.websiteurl.com/acatalog/ ) to the acatalog products page - their logged on details disappear and if they view a product the discount price is not displayed. If they do click on login again they are automatically taken to the acatalog pages and their logged on details are there. There isn't a problem if the user goes direct to one of the product sections then the discount is displayed and their logged in details remain.

Does anyone know what we need to do to the link in order for the logged on details and status to remain for the site user.

Thanks

Victoria

You have to structure your links differently to keep the customer logged in.

Instead of a link like this:-http://www.websiteurl.com/acatalog/section.html
You have to use a link like this:-http://www.websiteurl.com/cgi-bin/ss000001.pl?SECTIONID=section%2ehtml&NOLOGIN=1
You'll notice that I've put a '%2e' in for the dot in the section filename.
This is because I've found that occasionally during the page generation process, this forgets the '&NOLOGIN=1' if you don't

Hope this helps

Regards
