Create a custom category field via the menu Display>Custom fields. 2. In each category enter the link of the category in the custom field. 3. In the file "listing_img_title" of the view "category" (if you're displaying your listing with a div layout and a "image and title" item box layout), that you can edit via the menu Display>Views, just change the line: Code: <?php $link = $this->getLink($this->row->category_id,$this->row->alias);?> to: Code: <?php $link = $this->row->LINK;?> where LINK is replaced by the column name of your custom field. 4. Enjoy. Last edit: 13 years 2 months ago by [nicolas](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile").

Thank you. -- HikaShop version -- Business -- Joomla version -- : 2.5")* Thank you for your efforts, Nicolas! unfortunately by changing the code in that way I got every category pointing not to my wished URL but to home page... :woohoo: besides, I tried to change custom field to "text" instead of "link" and nevertheless all categories were just pointing to home page again. Anyway, I figured out a plan B: to use extension for 301 URL redirection. It seems working. But still not sure how it affects SEO... ![:unsure:](/media/kunena/emoticons/18.png ":unsure:") Last edit: 13 years 2 months ago by [Batas](/forum/user/9486-batas "View Batas's Profile").
