Forum Product Link

The purpose of this modification is to provide customers a way to link to a particular product page on other websites that use UBB/phpBB/Zero Forum software, leveraging the common markup language used by those (and other) forums.

I got tired of seeing links to my website where the user just copied the page URL, session ID and all. I prefer to have the product name included and the URL truncated to the basic form, which is much more elegant.

I started with just text links, but figured it wouldn't be too hard to add an image link as well. All aspects of the links are controlled via variables.
