URL Link format has changed?

DTMPhotos

Ok...First, I did try to search but my brain is a bit fried and I couldn't figure out the right combo to narrow down to a list worth digging through so I apologize in advance if this has been covered.

I use some customized code to offer some products that SM doesn't carry (acrylic cutouts) which I grabbed from someone (Andy?) a few years ago. It passes the URL of the image that a customer wants ordered to paypal. Now the URL format seems to have changed and when I get the link in the paypal form, I can't use it to link to the image (and order the correct one).

Here's what I'm using now:

---

function setPaypalForm(form) {
urlToImage = webServer + "/gallery/" + AlbumID + "/1/" + ImageID + "/Large";
form.item_name.value = urlToImage;
}

---

Can someone tell me what I need to do to pull the new format URL's?

Thanks!!!!

How to pass the correct URL
Andy - Sorry for being dense...So how do I pass this new "with keys" URL? I'm not using "lock it down" but I'm not sure how to pass the correct image URL to PayPal so that I can easily figure click via the link to the image being ordered. Right now I have to manual decode the url gallery number and image number. Tedious to say the least...

You can get the url by using the share button link:

I understand but i've built a customization and a button that links to paypal (see the code in my original post). Is there some new/different way to pull the URL? THe workflow for the order doesn't include the customer having to use share, copy, paste...THere must be some way to pull the correct URL using a get of some kind?

If it helps, here's a link to a gallery so you can see the buttons for ordering and the code above shows how they currently capture the URL:

yes, you need to pull imageKey also
i don't know the exact variable - post in the API Hacks forum, the guys there will know.

I'll also try and get someone to come here and post.

Thanks Andy...That helps me move towards a solution...

Any chance SM will expand their gift base...These acrylic cutouts are the rage with my clients (especially the ornaments at the holidays)...
