Updating an Existing Link

You can easily update an existing link by changing the values that determine the category, content asset, image, or page.

Find “cgid” (category ID) and change the next value to the category ID you want to link to. If the name of the category is included in the link, find the name and change it.

Change...

<a title="Category Search Link" target="_new" href="$httpUrl('Search-Show', 'cgid', 'P')$"><span>Pans Search Link</span></a>
