Automatically redirect from a Category with 1 product to the product page

Category to Product

This page was written in English, please see the English version for the most accurate code.

This code was tested on Prestashop 1.2

If you have a category with only one product, it may be the "main" product you sell on your site or just a category that currently has only one product. You can have it automatically redirect to the product page and save the user the extra click.

Add the following code to /category.php line #9 (below $rewrited_url = null;)

if ($category->id != 1 && is_object($cookie) &&
strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],'bot') === false &&
strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],'baidu') === false &&
strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],'spider') === false &&
strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],'Ask Jeeves') === false &&
strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],'slurp') === false &&
strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],'crawl') === false)
{
$category = new Category(intval(Tools::getValue('id_category')), intval($cookie->id_lang));
$nbProducts = $category->getProducts(NULL, NULL, NULL, $orderBy, $orderWay, true);
if ($nbProducts == 1)
{
$cat_products = $category->getProducts(intval($cookie->id_lang), 1, 1, $orderBy, $orderWay);
foreach ($cat_products AS $product)
{
Header( "Location: ".$product['link']);
exit;
}
}
}
