Linking to User Defined ProStores Templates

Something as simple as a link to a page… you would think that would be pretty straight forward. This could very well be the question we get from clients who customize their store. “How can I link to the custom page I just made?”

User Defined templates in ProStores are just that - templates you can create that automatically use the header and footer just like any other template. To link to one of these pages, you would use the Page.bok call in your link and include a parameter for the template name. When you create a User Defined template, you provide a name and description. The name cannot contain any spaces or special characters because the name is used in the URL. Here are a few examples:

[yourdomain]/Page.bok?template=press
[yourdomain]/Page.bok?template=help

You can also use a ProStores Template Tag for the link instead (preferred):

<ss:link source="$templateSet.templates['press']">
     Visit the Press Page
</ss:link>
