Quick Link box added..want to keep session id

[theman]

Hi,

 

I added a quicklinks box to my site..and it links to quick searches (using the "OR" operator)

rite now i have it like

$info_box_contents = array();

$info_box_contents[] = array('text' => '<a href="http://www.mysite.com/catalog/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=word1+or+word2+or+word3+or+word4">' . BOX_INFORMATION_1 . '</a><br>' .

 

 

i need it to keep the session id..how can i do that?

 

plz help

use the tep_href_link function

 

example you can find in the includes/boxes/information.php code

Just noted the use of the parameter, this is the syntax to use to pass a parameter

 

$info_box_contents[] = array('text' => '<a href="' . tep_href_link("http://www.mysite.com/catalog/advanced_search_result.php", "keywords=word1+or+word2+or+word3+or+word4") . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_1 . '</a><br>' .

tep_href_link makes it do http://www.mysite.com/catalog/advanced_sea...esult.php", "keywords=word1+or+word2+or+word3+or+word4?oscID=12dasfasdf2314234234

 

while when u do an advnace search result u get

http://www.mysite.com/catalog/advanced_sea...esult.php", "keywords=word1+or+word2+or+word3+or+word4&oscID=12dasfasdf2314234234

 

so it still logs me out :(

Hi I tested this on my site, and the example is correctly returning &osCid

 

but, the url path should be defined as local, so the code should read, with the crucial bit in bold, the parameters need to be passed seperately from the url. This way system knows that the osCid needs to be prepended with & and not ? (as this is used for the initial parameter only)
