Catagory Linking?

Recommended Posts

After mashing and bashing my site to get it to look like I want it I am starting to tweak it... :blink: huh.gif

 

One of the things I'm trying to find out is if there is a way to create a link to (all categories, all products) in database besides using the categories box.

 

MY LINK ---->goes/displays either all categories or all products depending on link

 

Any help would be great? Is this possible? I did a search for this and it did not turn up much.

Hey, would it work if I copy the link from browser from the and create the link that way?

such as

http://localhost/oscommerce2-2.2rc2a/catalog/index.php?osCsid=ae3577a27cb1360cdba89fb3827eba1b

 

It seems to work for me but I am on localhost...would it work live?

No, that's very dangerous. You've includec a sid in your link (the part that looks like this)

osCsid=ae3577a27cb1360cdba89fb3827eba1b

That is supposed to be a unique identifier. Including it in a link can comingle customer's carts, allow a customer to see another's private data, etc.

 

If you want to create a link, use the osCommerce tep_href_link() function. Your link would look like this:

<?php echo '<a href="' . tep_href_link (FILENAME_DEFAULT) . '">'; ?>

Yes this works but it took me a few minutes to figure out that I need text 'YOUR LINK' in the php

<?php echo '<a href="' . tep_href_link (FILENAME_DEFAULT) . '">YOUR LINK'; ?>

I actually used image

<?php echo '<a href="' . tep_href_link (FILENAME_DEFAULT) . '">'; ?><img src="YOUR IMAGE"></a>
