Category page to product's page.

[Guest]

On my site, when one goes to the category page, they have the list of products in that category. When one clicks on a product, they are taken to the product's description page with the image, description, options, and add to cart button. However, I would much rather have the product's separate web page to open when one clicks on the product in the category page rather than the one that osCommerce gives me. Is this possible?

I haven't the faintest idea what you are talking about

 

Please try to be more specific if you wish to receive an answer.

 

Right now it looks like circular logic

Sorry if I wasn't clear. Here is an example:

 

This is my category page: http://www.annakaydesigns.com/catalog/defa...2701c4d24c19f2d

 

When you go there and click on an image (say the first one) it takes you to: http://www.annakaydesigns.com/catalog/prod.../products_id/34

 

I would like it to go to a place that isn't a page generated in osCommerce. In the admin, when you add a product, there is an field titled "Products URL". Perhaps there is a way to have the link go there instead of the default location.

If you wish require an outisde link inside your categories box I'd suggest the following came up with it in 5 seconds so bear with me;

 

Find this in catalog/includes/boxes/categories.php

 

<!-- categories //-->

         <tr>

           <td>

<?php

 $info_box_contents = array();

 $info_box_contents[] = array('align' => 'left',

                              'text'  => BOX_HEADING_CATEGORIES

                             );

 new infoBoxHeading($info_box_contents, true, false);



 $categories_string = '';



 $categories_query = tep_db_query("select c.categories_id, cd.categories_name, c.parent_id from " . TABLE_CATEGORIES . " c, " . TABLE_CATEGORIES_DESCRIPTION . " cd where c.parent_id = '0' and c.categories_id = cd.categories_id and cd.language_id='" . $languages_id ."' order by sort_order, cd.categories_name");

 while ($categories = tep_db_fetch_array($categories_query))  {

   $foo[$categories['categories_id']] = array(

                                       'name' => $categories['categories_name'],

                                       'parent' => $categories['parent_id'],

                                       'level' => 0,

                                       'path' => $categories['categories_id'],

                                       'next_id' => false

                                      );

 

You may start your edit between

<!-- categories //-->

         <tr>

           <td>

 

Here you might add ;

<a href="http://www.hieroglyphics.com/">Super Human Hip Hop Rhymes</a>

 

You may have to add a table or two but it should get you going

No, I don't want it in the box. I want it in the product listing.
