Show products within hidden categories

   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: http://www.yourwebsite.com/productcart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=75&SpecialLink=1 Make sure that you generated the store navigation again after creating your hidden category.
