remove redirect in Products URL

Hi,
when I add a product and put a link in the Products URL field Zencart creates a redirect like this: http://domain.com/index.php?main_page=redirect&action=url&goto=www.otherdomain.com

There is a way to link directly without redirect?

Thank you.

Re: remove redirect in Products URL

I want to create a satellite website to promote some articles of another website and I think is best to link directly for SEO.

Re: remove redirect in Products URL

Well, one of the primary reasons for the redirect is specifically to not give page-rank for your products to someone else.

If you must change it, change this section in your customized version of tpl_product_info_display.php:```

<?php echo sprintf(TEXT_MORE_INFORMATION, zen_href_link(FILENAME_REDIRECT, 'action=url&goto=' . urlencode($products_url), 'NONSSL', true, false)); ?>

Thank you for the reply.
Unfortunately I'm not able with php and I don't know how to modify the code to remove the redirect.

Thank you.
