Is this possible?
 

I have a main catagory navigation list, then sub catagories. My customer wants to be able to click the name of the sub catagory and be taken to an external link in a new window. Its really just a link. I guess the question is, how do I make the name of the subcatagory a clickable link?

Does it have to be a subcategory ? If not just add a link to the categories menu to go where you like.

or

How about add a bit of text including a link to the description part of the category so that it shows up when you click the category

He wanted it to be a sub..
 

The customer wanted it to be a subcatagory, but I talked him out of it completely and were just gonna make a new page with a tab to link to it.

Hello poboy,

If you would still like to create a link for your client, then in your subcategories.tpl locate your <a href> links to your home.php section.

Please put them BEFORE your {section} code:

{if $location.1 ne ""}
{assign var="new_window" value="`target="_blank" `"}
{/if}

Please note the backticks within value.

In your <a href> link do:
<a {$new_window}href="home.php?cat={$cat}">

*sorry I might have not gotten the syntax correct, it's from memory.*

Not the most elegant method, but I think it'll work.

Thank you
 

Thanks for the help, I'll try it out.
