    Default Catagory Link Redirect / Modification

    Hi,

    This is what I am trying to do:

    I have one main category and sub categories under that.

    -----------------------------
    Main Category

    Sub Cat 1 & Sub Cat 2
    -----------------------------

    You click on Main Category and get to the Sub Category page.

    I need Sub Cat 2 to go to a custom page that I need to create in ez pages or define_pages, have not decided yet which one.

    What I need to figure out is how to make "Sub Cat 2" go to that page that I will create.

    Thank you in advance for your help!

    John

    When you create a sub cat you have a description area that you can use to enter text you want - no need for a seperate page

    Hello Kobra,

    Thank you for responding.

    I am on the admin page, under the sub-category that I would like to link to another page these are the options that are available:

    back / new category / new product

    I do not see anywhere in my admin section where I can add any information to the sub-category.

    The information I would like to add is somewhat substantial.

    I will be entering a table with five columns and in the last two columns there will be links that will go to products in my store created with Zen Cart.

    I will be creating several of these tables under different sub-categories. Some tables will be 50-75 rows long.

    Can you tell me where I can find the option or options where to make those changes or how to link the sub-category to another page?

    Thanks again in advanced

    Kobra,

    I was playing around with it a bit more and found the edit button. I was able to load the html on to the page and view it on the store in a test site that I have I will try to incorporate it in my store. I will update you how it goes and post it, hopefully it will help someone else.

    Thanks.

    My Bad - - it is evident when creating a NEW cat but as you found one must select the edit after it has been created to see the description entry screen

    Kobra,

    As I mentioned earlier, I figured out how to add html right on the category section. The issue that I am having is that my table is cut off in the middle. All the html appears when I add it, but when I save it and view it only half of it shows up. I checked it three times and go the same results.

    Any Ideas

    Thanks

    Kobra,

    The table is cut off vertically (up and down). I sent you an email via the forum with the links. Did you get it? Do you still want me to post the links here instead?

    Thank you

    Post it here as I hoped that one might remember if there is a character limit for the html area description

    If you do not want your site link picked up place a space in it like

    http:// mydomain.com

    I was not sure about the character limit; now I know. Is there a way to increase the character limit?

    Or maybe back to my original question, can I redirect the sub-cat link to a page that I create?


    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------


    Here is the information that I need to display:

    http: //www. cobratransmission. com/chevroletgmc. html



    Here is the information on the Zen Cart:

    http: //cobratransmission. com/catalog-zen-cart-abc-123/ index.php?main_page= index&cPath=1_2_10_64_634

    I appreciate the interest you have taken and all of your help.
