    Default Product categories listing on main page

    Hello,

    I have a question, currently my main page shows the 3 product categories I have defined.

    If I click on any of the links it takes me to the corresponding category and displays the products in there.

    What I would like to do however, is to change the link for one of the categories on the main page to point somewhere else.

    For example, one of the categories is How it Works, I wont it to link to another page I have created that talks about how the site works etc...

    I am looking in the code, however I am not quite sure how to change this.

    Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    Hmmmm... While it is possible to hack the categories sidebox to do what you want, it's generally not a good idea to mix up the intended functions of sideboxes.

    You could see if there is anything that can be done with Glenn's Categories Dressing Module

    There are a number of better options.

    The first is to use EZPages.

    The second is to use the "Blank Sidebox" module, and configure it the way you want to.

    The third is to use one of the "spare" defined pages (page_2).

    Thank you for the suggestions.
    Here is what I did to fix the issue, I just copied the code that was rendering in the browser and added it to the main page in ez-pages. The only downside is everytime I need to change something I have to manually edit the html code in the ez-page editor.

    Thanks
