   {assign var="prodURL" value="product.php?productid=`$products.0.productid`&cat=$cat&page=1"} 

   {php} 

      header( "Location: " . $GLOBALS[smarty]->_tpl_vars[prodURL] );

{/if}

{/if}

@darren, good find.

@carpeperdiem, good point.

I think the key here is to realize that different shops are obviously set up to operate and navigate in different manners. Per darren's piont, I can understand having a top-level category with three sub-cats, but wanting the users to see the subcats before being taken to the product page. In this case, I would modify the code so that drilling into the subcat itself would take you to the product page?

Either way, good posts on use of the code. I also enjoy the search result hook. :) Keep 'em coming!

"Rock on" ! LOL moneysaver, i hadnt heard that since wayne's world! LOLOLOLOL

good mod by the way.

and i do think that if the category has 1 procut and subcategories,

then it should present the subs adn the procuct. NOT go to the product directly. If you go to the product directly.

i understand carpes point, but he's using a 3 level flyout, so his mindset is a little different. Others are just using the default xcart menu.

Carperdiem,

I just visited the Mommymakeup.com site and it looks great! I a, wondering if you used a mod for Debbie's favorites and would you mind sharing which one? I would like to do that on my site. Thanks!

Just a note, if your using CDSEO then:

Replace:

Code:

{assign var="prodURL" value="product.php?productid=`$products.0.productid`&cat=$cat&page=1"}

with:

Code:

{assign var="prodURL" value="`$http_location`/`$cdseo_prod`/`$products.0.cdseo_url`"}
