Products Instead of Categories In Navigation

[Guest Jordan06]

Hi All,

Just wondering if anyone can help me here, I have a client who wishes to have seperate links to products in the cart navigation rather than having categories. Can someone please let me know which file I need to edit to have this working, and provide me with the modified code and direct me to where I need to place it.

Basically what I am after is:

Navigation

Product Link --> links directly to product description and add to basket etc

Product Link --> links directly to product description and add to basket etc

If someone can help I would greatly appreciate it.

Kind Regards

Jordan

I'm not sure this is what you want, but this will make your store a catalogue so that when someone clicks on the new Catalogue link it will display every product in your store.

Find :

$productListQuery = "SELECT ".$glob['dbprefix']."CubeCart_cats_idx.cat_id, ".$glob['dbprefix']."CubeCart_cats_idx.productId, productCode, quantity, description, image, price, name, popularity, sale_price, stock_level, useStockLevel FROM ".$glob['dbprefix']."CubeCart_cats_idx INNER JOIN ".$glob['dbprefix']."CubeCart_inventory ON ".$glob['dbprefix']."CubeCart_cats_idx.productId = ".$glob['dbprefix']."CubeCart_inventory.productId WHERE sale_price > 0 GROUP BY ".$glob['dbprefix']."CubeCart_inventory.productId";

After Add:

$view_cat->assign("LANG_IMAGE",$lang['front']['viewCat']['']);

Find :

} else {

$view_cat->assign("SRC_PROD_THUMB",$GLOBALS['rootRel']."skins/".$config['skinDir']."/styleImages/thumb_nophoto.gif");

Replace with :
