Category pages with single product
Is it possible to enable a category page to link directly to the product page if that category contains only one product?
In X-Cart 4, we were able to set it to do this. For instance, in "XYZ Category", we have only one product: "XYZ Product". When someone clicks on XYZ Category, I would like it to go directly to XYZ Product. If there is more than one product, obviously it would go to the category page. |

Bob,
This can certainly be done. Mayube the simplest way would be a .htaccess redirect. Setup the product and category, give them both a clean URL. Then setup a redirect in your .htaccess that points the category page to the product page. Never tried it but its worth investigating. Alternatively we could add a text input on the category page, and if it was filled in, use that to point to the product. |

I always felt this is wrong. Customer requests a category but gets to product page instead. So you are basically advertising one thing but showing another... Not to mention how Google will feel about this redirect.

I can see where you're coming from, but we want to eliminate as many steps needed to get to a product. If there's only one product in a category, it just means the customer has to load another page to get to where they want to go. |
