	* If you set the promo code via the URL you may have this overwritten by a customer using a promo code. This could potentially skew your statistics a bit. There may be a way to compensate for this with proper setup in GWO. The other option is the use the customer group via URL feature. Similar to promo codes, ?c=CUSTGROUP.		* If you set the promo code via the URL you may have this overwritten by a customer using a promo code. This could potentially skew your statistics a bit.

			You can use any generic URL parameter provided it's not already in use and then simply set a session var for the parameter. Then you can test against that var in your code by using <code>{$smarty.session.var_name}</code>.

			This would be in your _top.tpl template:
			<code><pre>
			{if $smarty.get.ver}
			{php}
			$_SESSION['version'] = $_GET['ver'];
			{/php}
			{/if}

			<body class="{$smarty.session.version}">
			</pre></code>

			And this could be used in your CSS:

			<pre><code>
			//Normal pages
			.wrapper div.version-b {
			display:none;
			}

			//To display the first div under the element .wrapper (just an example).
			.version-b .wrapper > div {
			display:none;
			}
			.version-b .wrapper > div.version-b {
			display:block;
			}
			</pre></code>

			Or a template:

			<pre><code>
			{if $smarty.session.var_name}
			...do something
			{else}
			...do something else
			{/if}
			</pre></code>
