Category Link URL

Add the ability to optionally specify external or internal URL's for categories that will be used instead of the "real" category URL whenever a link to the category is rendered.

Facts

Description

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.

Compatibility

  • Magento >= 1.6
  • No class rewrites, only event observers.
  • Works with and without the flat catalog category tables.
