Magento theme: change format of (one) category item
Today I learned something interesting from one of our clients (poaa.com). We have developed a multi-shop Magento environment for them. They sell design furniture.
For their christmas specials they made a new category in their Magento shop. They used simple HTML coding to change the font color of that menu item. This ensures this particular category is receiving more attention than the others.
How to accomplish this? Well, it is actually very simple, but hey, i didn’t know it, so maybe this helps you too:
1) Just include the HTML formatting tag, for example <font color=”red”>your category name</font> in the namefield of your category (in the Magento backend);
2) Saving the category will create an ‘ugly’ URL key for the category (since it will include the HTML code you added). Fix that by entering manually the correct category URL.
And you are done!
