X-Cart forums - Link Bait on the Fly

This program creates "link bait on the fly", to each specific product. The html snippets will open in a new window.

Create linktothis.php in the xcart dir. (wherever the "yoursite" appears, you will need to change to your site)

linktothis.php:

Code:

Wherever you want the "link to this link" place the following code on product.tpl in your skin1/customer/main folder

Code:

<P><A class="LinkToThis" href="javascript:void(0)" onClick="window.open('http://www.yoursite.com/store/linktothis.php?linkto='+escape(window.location.href),'','width=800,height=400,resizeable=true')">Link to this</a><!-- { $product.tmbn_url } --></P>
