tayl1684 Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 (edited) Hi, Im trying to get some extra buttons for the top of my website (like amazon). Ive coded them into sts_display_output.php, filenames.php, english.php and of course the template. It all works fine except if I try to use a cPath as the link eg index.php?cPath=1. If I try to do this it it seems to format the link wrong with sts meccanoman.co.uk/catalog/index.php?cPath=1?osCsid=5b0811d89ddf6e8feedbb2bc8610f6df a normal category link meccanoman.co.uk/catalog/index.php?cPath=1&osCsid=5b0811d89ddf6e8feedbb2bc8610f6df the difference seems to be its using a ? instead of a & after cPath=1 The link still works but it dumps the contents of the cart (it presumably looses the session) Any help would be much appreciated as I'm supposed to be going live tommorrow at midnight!!! The website is Meccanoman Many thanks in advance Ian Sorry I ment to post this in the Simple template system forum. will post again so feel free to delete this one if your an admin Edited December 30, 2005 by tayl1684 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mokosuperstar Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 The trick is to use the tep_href_link function instead of hard coding it with a ?cPath=1 (then osC will add another ? and that gives you trouble). I'm having a similar problem: the page that has the product links is the STS template page index.php_0.html so I think I would need to add an include to pass on the tep_href_link value in the html file. How do I add another include to the STS template? On a side note, I tried: product_info.php?products_id=29$sid which does pass on the sid but still dumps everything in the shopping cart. :( I'm fairly new to php and much more of a designer than a coder, and I don't have any links since I'm testing locally but any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! :) I ended up just putting the product_info links back in to english/index.php with the tep_href_link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
