Direct-Linking to a Category
HTML link to a specific category from anywhere with-in your web site.

Direct-Linking can be made to ANY Book-Category (more than 110 pre-built categories and categories built by you). There are NO restrictions on 'number of categories allowed' while linking to a category this way. You can link to as many categories you need.

Linking Method: From your Admin Area, choose 'Change Category' option. You will see a list of categories already embedded in your Main BookShop (if you have already done so). You will also see the complete list of available pre-built Categories. Write down the Category IDs for your chosen categories. Now you can put linking to those categories using the following URL syntax. A list of all available categories is also available here.

Direct-Link URL:
http://CatBookShopURL?ac=AccountName&cat=Category ID|Cat Name
 
You must Replace AccountName and Category ID with their REAL values. The CatBookShopURL Value must be Replaced as follows:
 
Paid BookShops:
http://bookshop.curryguide.com/execute/bookshop/pcbshop
Free BookShops:
http://bookshop.curryguide.com/execute/bshop/cbshop

Value of Cat Name is optional. But it can be effectively used to assign any Category with Any Name.
IMPORTANT: While making a Direct Link to category NOT included in your BookShop, the Category Name will not show-up. In that case, assigning Cat Name with a Name will make it appear in the Heading. Take notice of the Delimiter ( | ) between Category ID and Cat Name.

For working Examples of Cat Name, Direct Linking and other Advanced Features, please See:

List of ALL readily available categories (pre-built categories) is here.
