Replacement tag Category

[design]

This is a very simple question. I'm looking for an answer in the forum and wiki without any success since days...

How can I create a simple link to a Category just saying "show me category ID 8" and the output should be just a text link (category name - not alias).

Searching I found a lot of things about "current id category", "current alias category"... But I want just a link to a defined category. Link to category id=8. NO ALIAS, NO CURRENT!

How can I do?

For example {CATEGORY:8} --->> HTML output --->> <a href="index.php?contacts">CONTACTS</a>.

I know, it's so simple... But I can't do it!
Thanks!

... and a very simple answer:

I have enhanced all versions in Standard tags assembled with the TAG: {CATEGORY_GO:ID}

Example: {CATEGORY_GO:14} (in site structure the category "Category03" has the alias category03 and the id=14)

Code: Select all

<a href="index.php?category03" class="phpwcmsIntLink">Category03</a>

Knut, I love you!

I notice you updated the script!

UPDATE: 19.03.10 (KH) –> added {CATEGORY_GO:ID}

Thanks, thanks, thanks!!!

Hi Knut,
do you think could be useful add a new tag in your "Standard tags assembled" like: {CATEGORY_CLASS}?

This tag will be print the class inside Category (new features: CSS class).

I think it can be very interesting because people could add in the template something like this:

Code: Select all

<div id="wrapper" class="{CATEGORY_CLASS}">...</div>

I see that class is used only in the menu. But in the wrapper could be equally useful.

What do you think?
Thanks!
