Linking a Category to a Banner

Hi, I'm a "website rookie" working on my store tanaanns.com

I figured out how to link a product to one of my banners by using

index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=7&products_id=98

(only because that code was already the default)

but I cannot for anything figure out how how to link a whole category to my banner.

If someone out there could help me I would sooo appreciate it!

Thank you!

Tana :frusty:

Re: Linking a Category to a Banner

index.php?main_page=index&cPath=39
is your category page for soap, so replace 39 with the category you want to link

Re: Linking a Category to a Banner

Until you get to understand a ZC-generated URL, you can just navigate to the desired page on your browser, then, in the browser address bar, you will see that page's URL.

Just COPY it (everything past the root URL, starting with index.php?) and paste that into your <a href> link.

Ah... of course... I tend to just assume people know that the ID portion must be excluded.
