Adding External Link to subcategory

[Arpit Bajpai]

Hi guys,

It's been good time getting a hang of prestashop.
My Query is:
I want to add an external link to subcatergory.
Ex.
Phone <--- Main catergory
- Motorala < this is link to external page like www.motorola.com>

Please do let me know how can i do that.

Cheers
Arpit

There is no option to do that in PrestaShop. How many categories need to be redirected to external links? If there aren't many, you could edit modules/blockcategories/category-tree-branch.tpl and change line 2 from:

<a href="{$node.link|escape:html:'UTF-8'}" {if $node.id == $currentCategoryId}class="selected"{/if} title="{$node.desc|escape:html:'UTF-8'}">{$node.name|escape:html:'UTF-8'}

to:

<a href="{if $node.id == 2}http://www.motorola.com{else}{$node.link|escape:html:'UTF-8'}{/if}" {if $node.id == $currentCategoryId}class="selected"{/if} title="{$node.desc|escape:html:'UTF-8'}">{$node.name|escape:html:'UTF-8'}

Change 2 to the ID of the Motorola category. You can add {elseif $node.id == 3} after motorola.com to add another external link for category 3 if necessary.

I would like to put the below mentioned link in the subcategory for earning affiliate commissions. This link when put, will generate an image in the subcategory, which when clicked will lead to the affiliate site.

 

<a href="http://www.greensmoke.com/261.html" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="http://www.greensmoke.com/earn/banners/pink125x125.jpg" width="125" height="125" alt=""></a>

 

Can someone explain how this can be done?

Hello,

i hope this thread is not dead. I am trying to do this:

<a href="{if $node.id == 6}http://www.facebook....rabbitees}{if $node.id == 7}http://neonrabbitees.tumblr.com}{if $node.id == 8}http://neonrabbit.eu/blog/all-post.html}{else}{$node.link|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}" {/if}

 

but nothing happens. Site: http://neonrabbit.eu/en/ read IDs from prestashop backoffice.

 

Thanks for help;)

 

Edit: Prestashop 1.5.4.

you have to close each {if} with {/if} tag

check your code please, you've got unclosed divs + weirdy singe "}" signs

Can you tell me how this is done in 1.6X?  It seems that the code you're showing is slightly different....Thanks
