Automatic referrer URL structure...

Here's an idea; It woudl be nice that if we as artists are logged in, and we copy a link to say one of our clips for a editorial fodder (you know blog text link type of stuff) that it automatically always includes our referrer ID stuff. I for one have a hard time remembering the syntax. (OK, the widget does this.) But what if I want to link to one clip only? Hence if I copy the shortcut, I only get https://www.pond5.com/stock-footage/133628 instead of the referrer thingy. SO how is he syntax supposed to look for a link like that?

Or simpler would be, as long as we are logged in, it should default to our referrer syntax so that we can simply copy the link (shortcut) and not have to worry about it.

One more thing - that should also be a given under the "Share" function in the Clip Bins - afterall, we would most likely share our bins with potential buyers. Hence, it would most likely lead to a referal of a new subscriber.

Ok, a small background explanation, I know that everyone really loves when I try to explain technical things.

Almost all url:s on pond5 looks like
www.pond5.com/index.php?page=somePage&argument1=value

This is however not tasty enough for search engines. Therefore one usually add an alias. We've tried different aliases for different things. One doesn't want to be too promiscuous with what the alias module should translate as images and everything is affected. It is not obvious for the alias engine to "carry over" arguments to the "real url".

So html generating pages that does not look like /index.php?page=... an alias is used. We've made sure that...
www.pond5.com/artist/vadervideo?ref=vaderfideo
www.pond5.com/item/79648?ref=vadervideo
...propagates flags. If you want to add ?ref=x to another URL, make sure to check that the cookie pond_cookie_referrer is set.

You can use either ref and referrer, mostly because I can't spell the latter.

We've added referrer to the share bin as suggested.

Thanks for the ideas!
