    Posted: 18-May-2010 at 3:03pm
Hi! I'm trying to add "non-visible" items to the store that should only be visible to those customers who get the direct link to the product page.

I have:

1. created a hidden category
2. created a new active product and added this to the category.

The product doesn't show unless I'm logged in as admin even though the product it self isn't hidden.

What am I missing?

Did you add &specialLink=1 to the end of the link?

Yes I did. And I also made the necessary changes to viewPrdCode.asp...

I only get the message: This is not a valid category.

I can only guess you missed something.
 
I would suggest:
 
Check the code you added to enable the 'SpecialLink' URL
 
Make sure you added the special link correctly.
 
It need to look something like:
 
Make sure that you generated the store navigation again after creating your hidden category.

I think you are the first productcart forum member I have spoken to from Sweden
