Hi,

Does anyone know how to create a link that includes both a referrer code and can link direct to a product using the product's reference code.

I can do one or the other, but I would like to combine the two, in order to track sales from other sites and direct their customers to individual products.

This feature is not supported by the referrer script at the moment. All you could do is maybe point the referrer script to a bouce page (in your acatalog folder) which then forward the customer onto the correct product.

Chris,

Thanks for this.
Er... how/where can I get the script for building a bounce page?

Here is some sample code for a bounce page:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" CONTENT="0; URL='http://<mysite>/acatalog/sectionpage.html#aprodref'">
<TITLE></TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<P>Please wait to be forwarded to our catalog or press
<A HREF="http://<mysite>/acatalog/sectionpage.html#aprodref'">here</A>. </P>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Where 'sectionpage.html' is the page the product is on and 'aprodref' is the product reference of the product you want to link to, prefixed with an a.
