How to include a link to a category in a static block

[rachelalbert]

I would like to include links to hidden categories in my cms static blocks. What is the correct way to do that?

Use the category link widget.

Let's say, you want to add a link to category with ID 1.

Add this to your cms page/block:

{{widget type="catalog/category_widget_link" anchor_text="Some text" title="Some text" template="catalog/category/widget/link/link_inline.phtml" id_path="category/1"}}

Follow this and you can accomplish what you want.

Hi,

i have links to the categories in the text of my home page and inserted them with the "insert widget" button so that the code is as shown above.

But i want to have a comma after one Link and there is a whitespace shown. Can i fix this?

Thanks in advance,

hesa.
