Add a link to CMS block pointing to product category

[amnesiak]

Hi,

I would like to add a direct link in CMS block, to take me to a product category page.

Is it possible?

Im using version 1.4.4.1

If you don't mind that the CMS page loads for a second, before it redirects, you can do this:

 

Edit classes/CMS.php   (Make backup!!)

 

You see the following code:

class CMSCore extends ObjectModel

{

   public $meta_title;

   public $meta_description;

   public $meta_keywords;

   public $content;

   public $link_rewrite;

   public $id_cms_category;

   public $position;

   public $active;

 

   protected $fieldsValidate = array('id_cms_category' => 'isUnsignedInt');

   protected $fieldsRequiredLang = array('meta_title', 'link_rewrite');

   protected $fieldsSizeLang = array('meta_description' => 255, 'meta_keywords' => 255, 'meta_title' => 128, 'link_rewrite' => 128, 'content' => 3999999999999);

   protected $fieldsValidateLang = array('meta_description' => 'isGenericName', 'meta_keywords' => 'isGenericName', 'meta_title' => 'isGenericName', 'link_rewrite' => 'isLinkRewrite', 'content' => 'isCleanHTML');

...

 

Change the last line of this code block into the red code:

 

   protected $fieldsValidateLang = array('meta_description' => 'isGenericName', 'meta_keywords' => 'isGenericName', 'meta_title' => 'isGenericName', 'link_rewrite' => 'isLinkRewrite', 'content' => 'isAnything');

 

and save.

 

Then, create a new CMS Page.

 

At the contents of the CMS page, click the 'HTML' button

 

 

and in the pop up, copy this piece of code:

 

 

One Moment, you will be redirected...
<script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[
function Redirect(url)
{
 location.href = url;
}

Redirect ("http://www.phelineonline.com");
// ]]></script>

(N.B. If you don't want to link to my site, just change the URL ;-)   )

 

Save the page, add the new CMS page to the CMS Block footer or in CMS Block in left/right column) (using modules->modules, CMS block - configuration page)

 

reload the front page and click the new CMS link.

 

 

 

It will open the CMS page for a moment (with the message "One moment, you will be redirected..."

 

 

and after a short moment, you will be redirected to the page you linked to.

 

 

That should do it...
