Add Home link to category listing

[Outlawlb]

I want to add Home to where the product categories are displayed.

Such as Home | Product Category | Product Category

I have been searching for this but I can not find it.

[clydejones]

admin -> configuration -> layout settings -> Categories-Tabs Menu ON/OFF

This will give you a "new navigation bar" which will list your categories.

[Outlawlb]

Actually that is already on.

I just want to have the Home`link next to the categories.

[clydejones]

OK, try this:

in includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_modules_categories_tabs.php

find this code:

<div id="navCatTabsWrapper">
<div id="navCatTabs">
<ul> 

Just below the <ul> add the following line of code:

<li><?php echo '<a href="' . HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . '">'; ?><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CATALOG; ?></a></li>

Save the file to includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_modules_categories_tabs.php and upload it to your server.

Excellent thank you very much.

Would you also know where to change the CSS so I can change the styling of this area?

[clydejones]

find the following declarations in your stylesheet

#navCatTabsWrapper
#navCatTabs

apply the styling you want.

Yeah I was using that before, but the categories are still grey. I also tried changing all the entries that use that to the same color, which was not grey.

Thanks again.

Slightly new variant of the same thing:

You know in the category sidebar?

Categories
-----------

Product Category
Product Category
Product Category
Product Category
etc



I actually would like to have:

Categories
-----------------
Home
Product Category
Product Category
Product Category

Is that possible?

[clydejones]

Yes, it can be done as follows:

in includes/templates/template_default/sideboxes
Open tpl_categories.php and find the following line of code:

for ($i=0;$i<sizeof($box_categories_array);$i++) { 

JUST ABOVE this line add the following:

$content .= '<a href="' . HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . '">'  . HEADER_TITLE_CATALOG . '</a>'; 

Save the edited file to includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/sideboxes/tpl_categories.php and upload to your server.

I actually have that CSS Menu thing installed, so this has not worked, yet.
