how to link to store without losing session id info

[paragonmatrix]

how do i link someone to a store catagory without lossing the session information.

 

i have several static pages on my site, if they hit the store and browse or add to cart, then go to a static page not connected to oscom in any way, and then go back to the store their session id is lost and their cart empty.

 

my site is

 

http://www.customeuropeanplates.com/

 

and i link them to the store via the main catagory at

 

http://www.customeuropeanplates.com/store/index.php?cPath=21

 

if they go to my other pages and then hit the "our products" link again from a static page their session is lost. Is there anyway to code this link to keep that info?

 

thx for any help!!!

Hi,

 

there is a contribution by chemo where you can jump between static pages and non static. It creates an additional session conncetion. You would have to turn your html pages into php though. Search for it and check out id it's something you can use.

 

For info pages only many people incorporate them into osC like the privacy page is.

 

Another option is to open a new window, the session in the window below will not be lost.

thank you those are good solutions, im know about using the privacy or contact page, guess i just wanted to have to recreate all those pages. That probably the best solution though.

 

The pages are already php so i will check out that contrib as well

 

Thank you

any other ideas on this? it works if i incorp the pages into the store, but my nav menu still links to pages like

 

http://www.customeuropeanplates.com/store/aboutus.php

 

when you do that, the session is still lost

 

also cant find that contrib but ill look more

 

ok in case anyone find this in the future, here is the contrib

ya that contrib didnt work so great for me :(

 

i have setup the pages like so

 

http://www.customeuropeanplates.com/store/aboutus.php

 

but when you hit them you lose the session, i wonder is this because they are hard coded? ie. the full address instead of ..store/aboutus.php?

 

problem is the way the site(s) are setup it works best when they are hard coded :(
