How to bypass categories page?

[blue65]

I found the solution if anybody needs it for future this is one way you can skip the categories page.

goto $content .= $li_class; in this file
/wtdepot/includes/templates/theme296/sideboxes/tpl_categories.php

right before that line add following codes
$den=$box_categories_array[$i]['path'];
if (!strpos($den,"_")) {
$a=substr($den,strpos($den,"=")+1);
$a=$a+1;
$den .='_'.$a;
$box_categories_array[$i]['path']=$den;}

You are done.

So what you are doing is testing for a top category, and if it is top, adding one to the category id and adding the result as a subcategory id to the cPath in the link.

This will work for any top cat whose first subcat id immediately follows the top cat id, but will fail if the first subcat has any other id, or if there is no subcat for a given top cat.
