Each link to the form used to go to an address such as: A href=topic.tpl?sku=62365t12492Where the sku was queried and shown on the screen. A href=62365t12492.tplWhere the error page is trapped and the file name is stripped of the .tpl and the sku is queried, we can essentially take a forum with 20,000 entries and turn it into what appears to be 20,000 pages. Now, once again, this can be a cumbersome process to get started but one you do the possibilities for things like forums, stores, press releases, etc are quite numerous.
