Bypass Product Listing Page Ver. 1.0

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

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.
