Did You Know? Using "Quick Links"

A quick way to send a short URL link to a specific image:

When a customer sends in a request for a photo, you’ll want to send them back a link to the file they’re looking for. There are several ways to do just that – but the best way, the way that yields the shortest possible URL – is the short URL alias that Fotobroker provides – called a “quicklink.”

To use them, all you need is the UID of the photo in question. The UID (or Unique Identifier #) is displayed in several places. You can check your photo details page (it’s also always in the Admin’s display). Feel free to call for site specific help. Once you have that number, (in our example here, I’ll use “001”) – just type your URL “reprints.mydomain.com” add “/sp/” and then the specific number.

like so: http://reprints.mydomain.com/sp/001

This shorter “Quick Link” is provided for your convenience (for copying and pasting or otherwise sending) on the detail page of every photo – on both the customer and administrator sides of the site. The link will take your customer directly to the details page of that specific image.

If you’ve got any questions about how this works, please ask.
