What you should do instead is pass in the necessary information about the product to add as variables and use an [AddLineItem] context on the shoppingcart.tpl page to actually add the item to the cart. This way, you'd use a url like:http://cyber1.virtualrep.com/scripts/webcatalog/photosphere/shoppingcart.tpl?sku=PP&db=catalog.txtand a context like [AddLineItem cart=[cart]&db=[db]&SKU=[SKU]] on the shoppingcart.tpl page to generate a cart number and actually add the item to that cart. You could even put this inside a [showif [referrer]=whatevertheURLforthepageontheirserveris] context to only add that line item if browsers are coming from that page on their server.I hope this helps,Marc EagleStarNine Technologieshttp://www.smithmicro.com/
