This module adds allows the administrator to optionally specify an URL for a category.
The URL has to be fully qualified with schema (e.g. http://) and a domain name.
If an URL is specified on a category, then whenever a link to the category is rendered (for example in the top navigation), the specified URL will be used instead of the original "real" URL.
One possible use case for example is to add links to CMS pages to the top navigation.
- Magento >= 1.6
- No class rewrites, only event observers.
- Works with and without the flat catalog category tables.
- If you use the Magento compiler, disable compilation mode.
- Unpack the extension ZIP file in your Magento root directory.
- Clear the cache.
- If you use the Magento compiler, recompile.
- Regenerate the category flat table index (if you use the flat category table)
