I work as a sales rep for a company and they gave me a distributor website. I want to know if it is possible to use this distribution where visitors will click on my products which in turn will take them to my personal website where they can purchase.
I want to build my own website to drive as much traffic as possible to my distributor website and why I want to use this distribution. My company already told me that they will supply all necessary codes to make this work.
I already installed your distribution package and added some of my products.
Is what I need possible? Do I have to hack core to do this? Can I get some input on this?
Thanks

Yes, you can have the products linked to your site. You need to change the templates a little. It's not so hard to do, if you know how to alter things.
Of course, in order to drive traffic from the Open Deals site to your main site, you have to generate traffic on the Open Deals site in the first place.
I hope this helps.

drdave17 CreditAttribution: drdave17 commentedThanks for reply but can I be pointed to the correct templates I need to alter? And if possible where in the codes if I am not asking too much. If not I will try and find it.
And I planned on using the SEO module to help driving traffic to the site no problem.
Thanks

If you'd like to have the links inside the product descriptions, you don't have to alter any template, you just add the links in the product descriptions from the editor.
If you want the link to appear in the "all deals" page, you alter the "All Deals" view and make the product title linkable. Maybe you should add a new field in the product type to have the link to the master site inserted there.

Thanks much
