Resolved - Embedding link into Category Menu tab

[irori]

hopefully my last query,

I would like to place a link into one of the category tabs that I have named 'back to main website' (unless anyone can suggest a better way to do this?)

www.peacefulsilkworms.com.au/shop

Where do I go about adding this link?

Thanks again :)

We will be editing the skin file, box.navigation.php.

Look for:

    <li><a href="{$STORE_URL}/index.php" title="{$LANG.navigation.homepage}">{$LANG.navigation.homepage}</a></li>



    {$NAVIGATION_TREE}

and add above it:

    <li><a href="/index.php" title="About Silkworms">About Silkworms</a></li>

Ok, I got it

How do I make the link link in directly from the category tab instead of taking the customer to a page where they have to click on 'mainwebsite' to get there?

You have "Return to Main Website" as a category.

Maybe I don't know what you mean by a Category Tab.

My instruction would have caused this:

Shop by Category

• About Silkworms
  
• Homepage
  
• Zebra Silkworm Eggs
  ...

I added a new 'category' via admin panel so that on my store (under The 'HomePage' in the menu on the left) there is now a new category called 'ReturnToMainWebsite'

When I click on this 'ReturnToMainWebsite' tab it takes me to a 'page'(category) called 'ReturnToMainWebsite'. (much like it goes to any normal category)

The edit you gave me created a link in the menu progression just above the page name 'ReturnToMainWebsite'

I would like to make the link work so that when a customer clicks on the menu option in the categories 'ReturnToMainWebsite' that it links immediately instead of showing the 'category' page first

I hope that makes sense!

If you have a look, your instructions created the 'aboutsilkworms' which I called 'ReturnToMainWebsite in the progression menu at the top horizontal of the store instead of in the category menu at the side...maybe I have placed it wrong?

This is the code of my public_html/shop/skins/mican/templates/box.navigation.php

<div>

<h3>{$LANG.navigation.title}</h3>

<ul id="menu" class="accordion">

<li><a href="/index.php" title="Return to Main Website">http://www.peacefulsilkworms.com.au</a></li>

<li><a href="{$STORE_URL}/index.php" title="{$LANG.navigation.homepage}">{$LANG.navigation.homepage}</a></li>

{$NAVIGATION_TREE}

{if $CTRL_CERTIFICATES && !$CATALOGUE_MODE}

<li class="li-nav"><a href="{$URL.certificates}" title="{$LANG.navigation.giftcerts}">{$LANG.navigation.giftcerts}</a></li>

{/if}

{if $CTRL_SALE}

<!--<li class="li-nav"><a href="{$URL.saleitems}" title="{$LANG.navigation.saleitems}">{$LANG.navigation.saleitems}</a></li>-->

{/if}

</ul>

</div>

Ok I was just fiddling around with my categories and now the link is showing up where you said it should.
