catalano Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Hi All, I'd like to be able to have a product that doesn't belong to a category. You can create such a product in the catalog section, but it won't display in the left column categories list. We have 3 categories defined and they have items in them, but we have one product which does not belong to any of these categories and we don't want to create a separate category for only 1 product. Is there a way to get that product to display in the categories box? Thank You, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 @@catalano ALL products must be in category or sub-category. You can't have one product in NO category or sub-category because although it will show in the admin area, it will not display in the catalog.

Jack_mcs Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 @@catalano You can edit the categories box and add a link to the product. It would be manual so if you wanted another product instead, the code would have to be altered again. The code would vary with the categories box you are using but near the bottom before it displays the list, add something like this (adjust code as needed): $categories_str .= '<a href=" . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, 'products_id=XX') .

♥joli1811 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Hi , Maybe better to go for a hide categories addon create the category / product then hide and just insert the link as Jack mcs suggested above !! Regards Joli Great PS: used this one recently on a 2.3 shop easy install http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/5907 To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often.
