Why won't GetAttribute tags work in category brief descripions?
On our website, in the brief description of categories, we would like to use <%=getAttribute('item','id','urlcomponent')%> for multiple items that are listed within that category. This would allow customers to skip steps in navigating to a specific item page.
We have done this with hard-coded html in the past, but it has caused broken links when we have edited an item url or have moved an item.
For some reason the getAttribute tags do not work in category brief descriptions. Any idea why?
---------------
We have found that for category URLs we can use " /s.nl/sc.2/category.ID/.f" in place of a getAttribute tag.
