Hi All,

I've searched and I can't seem to find a way to make a simple URL that links to all categories (not the front page). Am I missing it somehow? Seems like a simple thing?

Thanks!

A simple URL to WHERE?
You'll need some Code Source, to make OS to show such, in a 'defined' form, and selected/linkable place,
it cannot be just created BY A LINK! 8)
just check here:

TMD Featured Categories 2.0.x (mis-use it and add all the Cat's you want... ;) )
http://www.opencart.com/index.php?route ... n_id=19777

Category Wall 2.x.x
http://www.opencart.com/index.php?route ... n_id=21103

Search for more:
http://www.opencart.com/index.php?route ... earch=wall

You could create an empty CUSTOM Page, then, just select the CATEGORY WALL
MODULE, to display within this Page, (i.E. called categorywall) as MAIN (sole) CONTENT:

Custom Page
http://www.opencart.com/index.php?route ... n_id=20816

then, link this CUSTOM Page, BELOW named 'categorywall', to your HEADER TOP MENU,
and you're done... ;) i.E.: www.xyz.com/index.php?route=custom/categorywall

Specials in menu Create Custom TOP Menu Links!
http://www.opencart.com/index.php?route ... n_id=20499

Good Luck !

What about the built in site map?

Running Opencart v3.0.3.9 with multi-stores and the default template from https://www.labeshops.com which has links to all my stores.

I have never seen a decent looking OC SiteMap yet ..
It's more kind of a stepchild-design, existing, but never really 'handled' with Care...

Thanks for the replies. All that I'd like is a simple link to the root categories. I'm currently moving a site from Mijoshop to pure Opencart but there's a simple URL link in Mijoshop that goes to the root cats. Easy.

I'll look into the extensions you mentioned and I agree, site maps visually stink.

Mijoshop probably has this Extension already built-in, that's, why it works. But in OpenCart, NOTHING exists, by default, to just add a link somewhere, and some default 'Template' will display anything, possibly even listed and sorted already.
Still, it's easy to do, if you follow my advise.

Good Luck ;)
