Create a link that carries a variable like this: http://www.yourserver.com/index.tpl&v.refferer=macintouchThis is assuming you map .tpl files for processing. Now check for the variable on the index.tpl page. You can now thank them with a special include file and then carry the variable on every page just like your cart (v.reffer=[v.reffer]) and then when you calcuate prices you can nest some commands to offer discounts.Hope this helps,Olin.....................................................................
