Listing products in category section
Is there an easy way to add a product to the category section? It doesn't make a lot of sense to create a category to list just one product, plus it can be confusing to the customer.
It would be great if I could make the menu look something like this:
Category
Category
Category
Product
Product
Thanks,
Jerry

There is not functionality for this out of the box. However, all source code for this can be found in the following file-
{private}/apps/ecom/ECOM/includes/skinwidgetcategories.php

Create a main category with the name of the product (or whatever), set its Product Display Type field to at least include the add to cart button, set the product to display in that main category, you will then have the item listed in the Categories menu section.

Hi All,
Yes that's fine, but it still puts the product One Extra Click away from the Product Page.
So if you have a single product in a category you have to load the category screen then click the One Single Product to drill down to the product page.
Is there no way to link the Category to a Product page directly, if you only have one product in that category?
Cheers,
Bruce.

Re: Listing products in category section
You can follow what KryptoJim said and add a hard coded link to the product in:
{private}/apps/ecom/ECOM/includes/skinwidgetcategories.php
or you can add Category X to the system and then use a 301 redirect in your .htaccess file to send the Category X link to the Product X page.
