Redirect Catergory to different URL?

What I would like to do is, when someone clicks the Category Wholesale I would like it to redirect to wholesale.midwestnotebooks.com so I can use a completely different checkout.

Any have an idea on how to do this?
I have searched many things up can quite come up with good enough search terms to find what I need.

What is the relationship between that site and yours?

Thanks,
My site is https://www.midwestnotebooks.com would like redirect to https://www.wholesale.midwestnotebooks.com when someone clicks the wholesale category, both of them mine.

It is to keep retail and wholesale items seperate as wholesale will have minimum order size while retail will not.

Do you know what the cPath for that category is?

If so, you can edit your /includes/init_includes/init_category_path.php and at the end of the file, remove the "?>" that's on a line by itself, and then add something like this:```
if ($cPath == '[B]3_10[/B]') {
zen_redirect('http://wholesale.midwestnotebooks.com/');
}

Naturally, replace the '**3_10**' with whatever the cPath is for the category you want redirected.

Thanks,

That is the ticket! Works perfectly!
Would would I do if I wanted to redirect a product in a different category?

Can you explain further?

Thanks,

For instance redirect:
-http://www.midwestnotebooks.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=23&products_id=75

to

-http://www.wholesale.midwestnotebooks.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=23&products_id=75

Similar approach:```
if ($cPath == '23' && isset($_GET['products_id']) && $_GET['products_id'] == '75') {
zen_redirect('http://wholesale.midwestnotebooks.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=23&products_id=75 ');
}

Thanks,

That is excellent!

Hi

If I wanted to do this for 2 categories could I just add the same lines below the first ? Obviously changing the cPath for the second category.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me

If you want to go to the same location in both cases, you can just add the second category in the if() test:```php
if ($cPath == '3_10' or $cPath == '4_20') {
zen_redirect('http://wholesale.midwestnotebooks.com/');
}

Thanks for your reply but I want to redirect 2 categories to 2 different pages that are based on joomla and are more catalogues than shops.
Thanks

OK, in that case you would have two separate if tests with their own redirect statements.

Sorted thank you very much for your help.

I am modifying a site of my friend and I added a redirect to page_2. I have no idea why the following does not redirect me to page_2

 require_once('includes/application_top.php');

$action = (isset($_GET['action']) ? $_GET['action'] : '');

if (zen_not_null($action)) {
	switch ($action) {
		case 'test':
echo '<br / >',zen_href_link(FILENAME_CREATE_ACCOUNT_SUCCESS);
zen_redirect(zen_href_link(FILENAME_CREATE_ACCOUNT_SUCCESS));
		break;
		}
		}

The echo function shows the correct path
The redirect reloads the page but does not redirect to the correct page.
Any idea is much appreciated.

zen_href_link() does not provide a complete link, it provides the path to be linked to. You have to surround it with the HTML link code.```php
echo '<br / >'. '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_CREATE_ACCOUNT_SUCCESS) . '">' ;

thank you gjh42 for the comment.
My problem is the "ZEN_REDIRECT" is not executing properly.

I know that the header (Location) function is sensitive and require care.

The ZEN_REDIRECT is not executing in my script but executes with other default installation scripts. So my question is am i missing an argument or something?

Take care

This was a hot little tip! Thanks so much!
