Multiple category boxes, session IDs, html...

[zerodash]

I want to have two category boxes on my store- one for coffees, one for teas.

 

One route I took to do this was placing HTML into the left colomn (which is actually what I prefer). However, every time a link on this colomn is clicked, the shopping cart empties- probably because of the session ID.

 

Here is the code I have for one of the links:

 

<a href="http://www.mydomain.com/store/index.php?cPath=21">

 

I do not know what I have to add here to maintain the session ID. Is there a way to make this link work properly?

 

 

If not, is there another way to include multiple category boxes for different product classes by other means?

 

Thanks!

<?php echo '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, 'cPath=21') . '">Link</a>'; ?>

I want to do the same thing but don't know how to start. Any help?

 

How do you do it using HTML?

 

I also want it to depend on the language chosen.

 

Thanks

      <tr>
       <td><?php echo '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, 'cPath=21&language=de') . '">Link</a>'; ?></td>
     </tr>

 

The above gives it in German (&language=de)

 

You cannot only use HTML :D

Thanks Matti

 

Is there a way I can display German books when the German language is selected and English books only when the English language is selecetd?

 

I don't want to translate my site. I want to display different categories depending on the language.

 

Can I put an if statement to display a category if there is text in the the categor?

 

For example, if (name_of_category_exists_in_the_selected_language_box)

{

display the category

}

else(if_there_is_no_text)

{

skip the category and don't display it

}

 

This way if I don't put any information in the language, then there are no products to display.

 

What do you think?

 

Please help
