Hi Stan,
You bet, you can have Article Manager create a link that contains some of the article data. For example, if you enabled spare field 1 you might pass it to paypal like this:
<a href="http://www.paypal.com/buy.cgiprice=$art_field1$">buy now</a>
Additionally, for fields that might contains characters that would break a link (such as ", etc) you can add _ue on to the placeholder to get at the "URL Encoded" value. Like this:
<a href="http://www.paypal.com/buy.cgi?price=$art_field1_ue$">buy now</a>
You can pass almost any value from the article this way, making it easy to integrate Article Manager with other programs and pass data to them.
