Magento show a specific product on category?

Question

Is there any way in Magento to show a specific product (with large image, large description, price and so on) on another category?

Let me give you an example:

I have a master category, named "Apple" , which id is 7 . I have to highlight a product from a subcategory which is invisible, to the "Apple" category, That sub category name is "Hero" and this category id is 8 - it has only 1 product at time.

Does anyone know how to show this specific product from category id 8? I need price, all the images (large), product description etc.

Really hope you can help me out!

Thanks!

Answer 1

You should be able to set the master category "Apple" output to "Static block and products" under the category settings->tab "Display settings"->option "Display mode".

After that, you create a static CMS block with contents like this:

{{block type="catalog/product_list" category_id="8" template="catalog/product/list.phtml"}}

Which should output the product listing for category 8 inside the CMS block. No coding needed. This is untested, but should work unless I screwed up the syntax for the CMS block.
