Navigation - Parent Category with one product

Post by sirchunk » Tue Feb 21, 2012 6:14 am

Hi everyone.

Been messing around with opencart Version 1.5.1.3 and was wondering, how do I make it so that if I have just one product under a main parent category, the link for that parent category goes straight to that single product instead of a page that makes the user have to click on the product to get to it?

I really hope that makes sense :)

I presume that it didn't then

Ah well, would of thought the opencart community would have been a bit more forthwith that this :(

Hi sirchunk,
Your post makes sense.
We discussed this before http://forum.opencart.com/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=29768

Simon at uksitebuilder was going to look into this but I think he has been busy with other maters.

Maybe he or someone can help with this.

As Qphoria says other carts have this feature.

Thank you for the point in the right direction Harleybill :)
I thought I was going crazy as I couldn't have been the only person who wanted to do this

Sorry for the delay on this guys

edit: catalog/controller/product/category.php

Find:

Code: Select all

			foreach ($results as $result) {
				if ($result['image']) {
Replace with:

Code: Select all

			foreach ($results as $result) {
				if($product_total == 1){
					$this->redirect($this->url->link('product/product', 'product_id='.$result['product_id']));
				}
				
				if ($result['image']) {

Hi Simon,
There are a few people on the forum you can always count on, and your one of them.

This is something that should be in the core. It works great.

I just sent you a donation.
It's less than what it is worth but I hope everyone that uses this will send you some thing.

Thanks,
Harleybill

P.S. Sorry for your recent loss.

We tried. No errors.

What's the difference between the OpenCart Templates and Prestashop Themes?

When I applied this and the redirect was used, the breadcrumb trail was lost so I made a change to the redirect line to keep the breadcrumb trail on the product page.
