jabeckett Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 basically I am trying to add a group of images which when clicked take you to a category page. i have a visible category called "faceted" and on that page i want a 4 x 8 grid with images of gemstones with the names under so you click them to get to their product page. cheers in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsmither Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Welcome jabeckett! Glad to see you made it to the forums. You are describing "sub-categories". With "Faceted" being a parent category, the gemstone collections would be sub-categories of it. Most of the skins for CubeCart will show the available sub-categories assigned to the viewed category. A product can be assigned to more than one category. A category can have many sub-categories and only one parent category. For example, for "Faceted", you may have a sub-category named "Faceted Rubies". This is managed in admin, Categories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jabeckett Posted March 7, 2018 Author Share Posted March 7, 2018 thanks for the reply, I have made sub-categories for the various gemstones but i dont want to access them via the menu. im looking to make them accessible via a table on the facet page with various clickable imaged in. this is my store if you go to the facet page you will see the table which will have images in soon but i want the images once clicked to take you to the corresponding page. https://derbyshiregemsuppliers.com/ cheers.

bsmither Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 The task at hand now is to suppress the display of subcategories on the main menu bar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jabeckett Posted March 7, 2018 Author Share Posted March 7, 2018 there is a option when adding sub categories to make it visible or not so i just made it not visible. what i need is like the address for the specific page so i can link the hyperlink to.

bsmither Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 For each and every category, product, and document, the Add/Edit screens in admin have a Search Engines tab. On the Search Engines tab, a text entry field is provided, and automatically filled in if left blank when saving the details, that specifies the relevant friendly web address. For example: name-of-parent-category/name-of-category, or facet/precious The final URL would be: /facet/precious.html You can make the friendly SEO path whatever you want - it need not have the complete cat/sub-cat/sub-sub-cat hierarchy.

jabeckett Posted March 7, 2018 Author Share Posted March 7, 2018 ahh see so on the description of the facet category i have this table and in the first box i just put as follows <table align="center" border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" style="width:100%;" table=""> <tbody> <tr> <td><a href="/facet/kunzite ">Kunzite</a></td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsmither Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Not quite. On the Kunzite category Edit screens in admin, look at the Search Engines tab. If the path says, "facet/kunzite", then the link will be: <td><a href="/facet/kunzite.html">Kunzite</a></td> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
