Topic: Question about external info

[binkatl]

Is there any harm in just turning on the external info support for all trades?  I don't know which of my trades supports external info, and which don't.  If I have external info on for a trade, and they don't support it, will it cause problems?  Or will the other script just ignore the extra info?

Thanks...

U can safely turn it ON for all trades, it doesn't affect anything..it's just addition to url and other trade scripts will not read it, they will show normal page ofcourse

What if my TGP is on domain.com/tgp/

I've had TP users send traffic to one of my sites not using TP and prod on my end was almost 0 and normal when the other webmaster switched off the external info for my site..

So, is it possible that it causes problems when a TP users sends traffic to a location that is not the root of the the other domain?

use external info SHOULD NOT cause ANY PROBLEMS becasue it' simply add's GET variable to the url....so like somedomain.com/file.php?x=123.1234.5467....if scritps supports it it will read x variable, othervise x variable will be just ignored!

I can assure you there is a strange problem sometimes with other sites going 404 when the external info stuff is on. Do you have ICQ? I don't want to post my domain here but I can show you an example directly.

ok, TP is not the problem!

It seems like my blog script has problems with this external info extension.
