Purchase from a link

Assumptions:

• 1 generic open cart product
  separate php mysql DB with 800,000 records

We want to take the records we have and use a generic product from within open cart to populate feilds within the product via URL and have people be able to purchase the item.

so in a normal URL format
index.php?route=product/product&path=1&product_id=1

want to make it work like this
index.php?route=product/product&path=1&product_id=1&article_id=100&article_name=Smith%20and%20Wesson

the product within open cart would then place the article id and name in the right spot for the product and the user could then check out with those names listed.


Any way on doing that?

bueller?

... as long as you stay on the same URL, you could (probably) easy save each Product Page, individually, as HTML Page, and then, make ALL Page-internal LINKING, like Javascripting, and/or image Links, to to match valid Linking to Content. ALso, you'd probably have to remove some Stuff, from such a Page, if you don't want some Links, 'forwarding' such a Page automatically to the OC Product Page or other OC-placed Sections.

I tried it, and only failed, because I 'made' the order from my local PC, and the security Settings on the Server prevent, by DEFAULT. such an Order to be added to the Shop. At least, by use of my old IE8, I was able to add it to the Wishlist !

And check here too, some Extensions for such exist already:

It's gonna be a lot of work, in any way, just be aware of that.
Good Luck
