It's not getting the value because your code above does not assign temp1 to a value, it simply displays a value on the page, next to a string of text that looks like temp1=.If you really want that value assigned to a variable named temp1, you have to use a [text] context, like this:[text]temp1=[ConvertChars db=shapes.db][GetChars start=1&end=1][style][/GetChars][/ConvertChars][/text]Then when you use the [temp1] tag somewhere further on down the page, it will have an actual value, which means your link will probably work properly, assuming there's an actual record in your db with the sku you're referring to. But if the dynamic SKU you're creating does not appear in the db to begin with, you'll have to make some more changes before this will work:
