categories question?

not sure if this is the right place but. the categories box lower left http://raptorengines.com/index.php?main_page=index i'd like several of those to link to ezpages instead of what they are linked to now. is there a easy way such as the internal external link section on the ezpages? hope that made sense.

thanks :smile:

Re: categories question?

Not with the stock categories sidebox, nor with whatever TM may have for customization. You can do it with Categories Dressing from Plugins. You will have to restyle that to match your existing categories, but it allows almost unlimited flexibility.
The simplest method would be to eliminate the categories in question and add a "comment" below the previous real category with the ez-page link codes. Those could be styled to match the real categories.

Re: categories question?

You might alternatively want to use the Categories Dressing "heading" function to put your links above the following categories. That would work better if they have subcategories.

Re: categories question?

Did you read the readme that came with the Categories Dressing package? It describes how to do everything you might want. If any part is unclear, let me know. It's best to post in the Categories Dressing support thread for specific questions on using it.
