Static and Dynamic Links
Hi,
If I wanted to hard code a link to a certain category on one of the templates, how would I do this so that it would work as a dynamic link on dynamic page and as a static link on a static page?
Thanks
George

If you use <%build_root_url%> as the location of the link, the template parser will convert the url to dynamic if running dynamic, or it will be replaced static under static.

Then how can you link to a static page from a dynamic page?

Don't use <%db_cgi_url%> and the parser should leave the link alone.

eg: use "/" rather than <%build_root_url%>

I tried actually putting the url in as http://www.mysite.com/mypage.html but it still comes up as a dynamic link that leads to an error.

But once I changed it to just /mypage.html it worked fine. I just don't get it yet! Thanks alot for the help thoughSmile

Thanks,

Craven

It has to do with the page filtering, if d=1

Certain tags are looked for, and then replaced.
