As in title, does anyone know how to set automatic redirection to a product if there is only one product in given category?
Say customer clicks on the category link from main drop-down menu, but if there is only one product in that category, he/she is taken directly to product page.

TIA

PS. Using version 4.1.3

Hi @raff,
For this to work you need to have My changes add-on enabled

#add into file app/addons/my_changes/controllers/frontend/categories.post.php (if not exist, please create, folder structure and php file )

<?php
/***************************************************************************
*																		  *
*		   (c) 2014 HungryWeb.net | Support at yum@hungryweb.net		  *
*																		  *
***************************************************************************/
use Tygh\Registry;
if (!defined('BOOTSTRAP')) { die('Access denied'); }
if($mode == 'view'){
if (!defined('AJAX_REQUEST')) {
  //get page data
  $products = Registry::get('view')->getTemplateVars('products');
  if(empty($products[1]) && !empty($products[0])){
   return array(CONTROLLER_STATUS_REDIRECT, "products.view?product_id=".$products[0]['product_id']);
  }
}
 
}

I hope that helps,

HI Guys

 

an updated version I needed for 43x (in 438 tested)

<?php

use Tygh\Registry;

if (!defined('BOOTSTRAP')) { die('Access denied'); }

if($mode == 'view'){
	if (!defined('AJAX_REQUEST')) {
		$products = Registry::get('view')->getTemplateVars('products');
		if(count($products) == 1) {
			$product = array_shift($products);
			return array(CONTROLLER_STATUS_REDIRECT, "products.view?product_id=".$product['product_id']);
		}
	}
}​
