    "Fake Product" to redirect to another category?

    Is there a way to create a "fake product" displayed on a category page whose job it would be to simply link the shopper to another similar category?

    For example, on category "Halloween Films" all the real products are listed, but the last "fake product" is something like "You Might Also Want to Check Out Horror Films" which acts as a direct link to that related category..

    Thanks for any help or ideas!

    Why not just use the Category Footer container and format it as desired?

      Thanks Bruce... The Category Footer is an option, but I was hoping to have the "fake product" image fall in line with the rest of the product display if possible. I have been thinking about ways to design the link if it were to fall in the Cat Footer.. if it becomes too much trouble to have it mimic the product in the layout I probably will end up going the route of the footer.

        I'd think that having it look somewhat different, would be a plus.

        The category footer item can be placed anywhere outside the "Foreach" loop of the Category Product List template.

          I have a module that can generate 301 or 302 redirects when a customer tries to view specific products or categories. I think that would achieve what you're looking for. You can drop me a line if you'd like to discuss it in detail.
