Automatic redirect from cat page to another?

[joomoo79]

Hey guys,

Whenever someone is led to the category #3 page, I need the URL http://site.com/zencart/index.php?ma...=index&cPath=3 to automatically redirect the visitor to the category #1 page http://site.com/zencart/index.php?ma...=index&cPath=1... How do I do that?

Thanx!

Why ?

It's complicated to explain... But let me try to give it a shot anyway...

I set up a "consultation page", which is nothing but a quiz. The quiz returns product combos depending on score. Those combos are in cat #3 and meant to be there ONLY for the quiz. If for some reason, someone tries to go to the product listing, I'd rather them being redirected to the cat #1 product listing instead, coz it shows each product individually, not in a combo. I don't want a combo to come up out of context, it that makes any sense to you.

That's basically why I only need a redirect from cat #3 to cat #3. I don't wanna redirect product pages in cat #3.

Okay, if I'm understanding you correctly, I think you can accomplish that by adding this to the end of your /includes/init_includes/init_category_path.php file, just before the closing ?> (or just remove the ?> altogether):

if ($cPath == '3' && $current_page == 'index') zen_redirect(zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, 'cPath=1'));
