Redirect cms category to first cms page

[ycorde]

Hi,

 

Is it possible when you click on a cms category to open the first cms page instead of having first an overview of all the pages

 

For example

 

If I click on the first cms category in my navigation bar I become:

 

http://www.maselecti..._cms_category=3

 

 

The thing I want is the obtain the first cms page, in this case 'Qui est Marie Melodie'

 

http://www.maselecti...s.php?id_cms=23

 

 

This my code of the blockcategories.tpl

 

 

 

<ul id="main-nav">

{foreach from=$cms_titles.categories item=cms_category}

<li><a class="main-link" href="{$cms_category.link}">{$cms_category.name}</a>

<ul class="sub-links">

{foreach from=$cms_titles.cms item=cms_page}

{if $cms_category.id_cms_category eq $cms_page.id_cms_category}

<li><a href="{$cms_page.link}">{$cms_page.meta_title}</a></li>

{/if}

{/foreach}

</ul>

</li>

{/foreach}

{foreach from=$blockCategTree.children item=child name=blockCategTree}

<li><a class="main-link" href="{$child.link}">{$child.name}</a>

{if count($child.children) gt 0}

<ul class="sub-links">

{foreach from=$child.children item=sub_child}

<li><a href="{$sub_child.link}">{$sub_child.name}</a></li>

{/foreach}

</ul>

{/if}

</li>

{/foreach}

<li><a class="main-link" href="{$base_dir}stores.php">{l s='Magasins'}</a></li>

<li><a class="main-link" href="{$base_dir}blog">{l s='Blog-Creation' module='blockcategories'}</a></li>

 

 

 

 

Thanks in advance

did you ever work this out Ycorde?

 

I'm trying to do the same thing as the CMS category page is too ugly and kind of unneeded for my purposes. I did think of either using a mod rewrite in ht access? or perhaps creating a folder with the same path name and puting an index.html file in it with a redirect script  - although i'm not sure which would take preference?

Hello you can do this in init method of your override files on CmsController.php

parent::init();

if ($id_cms = (int)Tools::getValue('id_cms')){

$this->cms = new CMS($id_cms, $this->context->language->id);

}else if ($id_cms_category = (int)Tools::getValue('id_cms_category')){

if((int)$id_cms_category == Your-Parent-CMS-Categorie){

$link = new Link();

Tools::redirectLink($link->getCMSLink(Your-first-Child, null,null,  $this->context->language->id));

}else{

$this->cms_category = new CMSCategory($id_cms_category, $this->context->language->id);

}

}

Hi Nassim.

If you see this, can you tell me exactly what code in CmsController.php to change and where to add the page I want to redirect to?

I tried to paste what you provided above but it breaks my site.

Thanks!
