change a category URL

[jay_reis]

I hope this is in the right forum area. Anyway I have a list of categories setup. What I want to do is change one of the category links to point to an outside (meaning another website) page. What file and where could I do this for that specific category?

Thanks ALL
Sessionmedia.net

To accomplish this, (even though I would not recommend this), you'd need to edit your includes/modules/sideboxes/categories.php and your includes/templates/<your_template>/sideboxes/tpl_categories.php file.

Thanks for your help!

Just a quick question so why would u not reccomend this? My reason for doing this is one of my categories right now is "auctions" and I want it to linkt to the my ebay auctions. (I know their is a ebay contribution but according to these forums its buggy) so I thought I would just make a link to ebay

What would be an alternative way fo doing this then?

Thanks Also is their a way to make one fo the ezpages have a link in the "information" box and not a spereate box I am just trying to reduce all the boxes on the page.

If the user is logged in, how would their sessions be transferred to the other web site without affecting sessions itself ?

Right now, I don't think it has been coded to do so unfortunitely.

An alternate way is to use the ezpages box, and create "internal link" ez-pages for the other entries from the information sidebox, and then turn off the information sidebox.
Then you can use the ez-pages sidebox to drive most of your content, using internal links, external links, and direct HTML code.

here is my problem:
2 of categories that when you click on them it displays the text from the main page along with the text that should be on that page... i dont know how to correct this... do you recommend going into the categories.php and making those changes to reflect the appropriate url?
