Hi Community

We are developing a commerce site where we also have CMS content. From the CMS pages we would like to create links to commerce items (SKU's). This should be easy, since you can just select to add a Commerce link, when you create a new link in the TinyMCE editor. However when we create this link, it looks as if EPiServer creates the content link based on the internal Id of the catalog item, and this is a problem for us.

With our current import mechanism, we are in a situation where we may have to clean up our commerce catalog once in a while. This means deleting all SKU's and then create them again.

When we create the SKU's again, they will have the same Code as the old and deleted item, but the new SKU gets a new internal ID. This means that all out commerce links break.

Do you have any suggestions on how to handle this?

We have discussed using the SEO URL's of the commerce items, since we can create the same SEO URL's when we reimport our catalog. However the External link feature in the TinyMCE editor always generates fully qualified URL's and not only relative URLs. This is not good when we have multiple hostnames for our site.

Any help and/or suggestions are appreciated.

Regards

Anders
