what is the merchant cgi url "tag".

Postby flyspray » Thu Sep 10, 2009 10:35 pm

I cannot seem to find tag for calling the location of the backoffice cgi files. I know what is normal install location.. but if hosting service installs non typical install then my program will fail. Does anyone know the shopsite tag for the "merchant cgi url..

To be very exact what i am looking for is the infomation stored in field found under hosting services. under store settings... listed as merchant cgi url: does this variable have a tag that is callable.

Any help in this matter is greatly appreciated.. if you need more clarification on what i am asking for please ask and i will clarify.

thanks

There is no tag for the merchant cgi url. Any access to those urls would require login so they would be of no use in a store page since shoppers wouldn't know the login information.

There are tags for the shopping cart urls which can be found in the online help
Here is the information for the shopping cart urls found on the cheatsheet at http://shopsite.com/help/10.0/en-US/tem ... sheet.html
[-- MyStoreURL --] String from the "My Store" URL field, generally the URL to the store's index.html page.
[-- STORE.Output_URL --] URL of the store's HTML directory.
[-- OUTPUT_DIRECTORY_URL --] URL of the store's HTML directory.
[-- SHOPPING_CART_URL --] URL to store's shopping cart
[-- SHOPPING_CART_URL Base --] URL to the store's shopping cart directory
[-- ShopSite_Images --] URL to the store's ShopSite Images directory
