Category URL !?!? Where can I see that ?!?

[cookie]

Hi,

Can anyone please tell where I can find the URL of a certain category to embed it in a custom menu?
(in the admin somewhere?!?)

Why not use selector for category in the menu section?

Select category and click link button
It will put something like this for you: product/category&path=36_40  (there last digits are Path to category)

Hi,  where/how do I get to this location?  I am not seeing what I need to do here.

Tried   Catalog > Categories  then selected edit - but don't find anything that looks like your screenshot.

Thanks for the additional instructions.

OK, I found it ...
It's in Design / Menu / Add new menu item > Choose category from the drop-down
A long way around though, I do not see why is it not possible to get that link from the category set-up screen itself and have to go such a long loop to find it.

But thanks a lot for the tip, got the URL for now

Wow,  I wouldn't have ever found that.  Nice hunting, Cookie.

One thought,  once you determine what the basic url is
like ..../product/category&path=81

Then you can see what the id is when you click on the category within the expected place of  categories, like this example
from the edit link within categoires:
 ..../index.php?rt=catalog/category/update&category_id=81


But thanks for posting where to find this.
