Treewood, since U rule and you´re such a helpful guy, I will ask you:

Is there a simple way to add an option; when creating a category you can choose "type - external link". So that the menu item opens an external page, if you know what I mean?

Regards
Magnus J :-)

You want option when it will be ON You will open no subpage (category) but other page for example google.com ?

MagnusJ - then edit index.php and search below code. For example id of Your category with external link will be 22. Put if in else block. Example below:


<?php
if( is_file( $sActionFile ) )
  require_once $sActionFile;
else{
  // ... code in index.php
  if( $iCategory == 22 ){ // id of category with link
   header( 'http://google.com/' ); // external link
   exit;
  }
  $content .= $tpl->tbHtml( 'contents_more.tpl', $sBlock );
}
?>

grecords - you should put this 3 lines before adding to $content variable where $iCategory will be set

grecords - before (watch better my first example)


<?php
$content .= $tpl->tbHtml( 'contents_more.tpl', $sBlock );
?>

You should put below


<?php
  if( $iCategory == 22 ){ // id of category with link
   header( 'http://google.com/' ); // external link
   exit;
  }
?>

It works, but only with Location:
<?php
if( $iCategory == 22 ){ // id of category with link
header( 'Location: http://google.com/' ); // external link
exit;
}
?>

Hi treewood,
Maybe we misunderstood each other. This way I would have to hard code every external link, right?

I want to be able to automatically create an external link when creating a category. (Just like choosing if a category should be visible in the menu or not). Also it would be nice to be able to choose if that link should open i a separate window or not.

Magnus J - then You must add new field in category and if it will be not empty then it will redirect on other page. but i cant explain how to do it
