Magento How to link to category by id from static block/page

I'm looking to link to a category from a static block using the category id. Any thoughts?

I've done the usual searches, but to no avail.

At the moment I can do something like <a href="{{store url="category-i-want.html"}}">, but this is hardly robust.

Solution

  • Use the category link widget inline link code:

    {{widget type="catalog/category_widget_link" anchor_text="Displayed Text" title="Title attribute text" template="catalog/category/widget/link/link_block.phtml" id_path="category/22"}}
