eTail UK – a few notes of interest from the conference

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

I was one of the speakers and attendees at the inaugural eTail UK conference this year in the UK. I scribbled down lots of notes intending to do a series of blog posts based on what I heard and learned.

Bypass Product Listing Page Ver. 1.0

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

Version 1.1 contains both the original changes from Ver. 1.0, and a variation

that can be used to redirect to the first product of the category:

- IF the category isn’t the main catalog page (cPath=0),

- AND IF only one product exists for that category.



If the category does not contain any products, it will be processed the same as before

adding this code.



For this variation, there are only 10 lines to add to index.php, all together in the same location. Very simple install. (Equally simple to remove, if it isn’t what you expected.)



Full package. Contains one (1) file.
